How do I implement Azure authentication in my ASP.NET MVC application?

To implement Azure authentication in your ASP.NET MVC application, you can use the Microsoft Identity platform. First, register your application in the Azure portal, then configure your app to use Azure AD for authentication.

What steps do I need to follow to register my application in Azure?

1. Go to the Azure portal and sign in. 2. Navigate to 'Azure Active Directory'. 3. Click on 'App registrations' and then 'New registration'. 4. Fill in the application details and click 'Register'.

How do I configure my ASP.NET MVC app to use Azure AD?

You need to install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.AzureAD.UI package, then update your Startup.cs file to include Azure AD authentication in the ConfigureServices method.

Can you provide a code example for the Startup.cs configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddAuthentication(AzureADDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
            .AddAzureAD(options => Configuration.Bind("AzureAd", options));
    services.AddControllersWithViews();
}
