How do I make a "friendly name" of my Blazor WASM Static Web App?

mkb13 11

I am using the built-in authentication support using AAD for my Blazor WASM Static Web App. If I send a user an invitation, the user receives a message when logging in that "Azure Static Web App" or "Azure Identity Services" is asking for their consent. I want my app name to show up instead. How do I do this? Note that I don't have my app registered under App registrations in Azure Portal, yet I'm still able to send invitations, which makes me think the Static Web Apps functionality somehow removes the need for app registration (it may be the answer but it is not clear how to set it up for a Blazor WASM Static Web App).

Hi @mkb13

Note that I don't have my app registered under App registrations in Azure Portal

It's sounds impossible, please check the value of ClientId in your appsettings.json file, this file under wwwroot folder. And if you can find the value of ClientId, it means this app has registered under App Registrations.

You can search it in All Applications like below.

You also can show more details about the page which ask for user's consent, please hide your sensitive information.

Best Regards

My appsettings.json doesn't have any ClientId in it. It only has a few variables that are custom settings for my app.

Here's the consent screen:

]1

I can't see the image you pasted. I do have three test apps registered in app registrations, so maybe somehow it's using one of those, but it's not using any of their names and there is no ClientId.

I also did a case-insensitive search through my project for "clientid" and did not find it anywhere.
I also checked the three test apps I have registered and I don't think any of them could be it, because they all have unrelated redirect URIs, plus two of the three have "Certificates & Secrets" listed as expired.

Basically I want the name and URL of my app to show up in the consent screen instead of identity.azurestaticapps.net and "Azure Static Web Apps".

you are using the builtin identity providers. identity providers must register their applications at login provider. the webapps default ad provider, as registered it own app (identity.azurestaticapps.net) in azure ad, and others.

if you want a custom url you need to use a custom provider rather than the default, and register your site at the actual oauth authentication site. assuming you want to use azure ad:

1) create azure ad account (tenant id)
2) register you static web app at this account (client id).
3) using the azure ad provider as the custom provider, configure the provider to use your azure ad application registration.

Yes, I'm using the built-in identity provider. I don't completely understand your first part. Can you explain "identity providers must register their applications at login provider" and "as registered it own app"?

Are you saying there is no way to show my own app name if I use the built in identity providers? Is that just because the built in identity providers are just for testing?
