Azure App Service built-in authentication on gRPC not working

[luigisaggese]

I deployed into Azure App Service a .NET 7 sample hello gRPC API on Linux OS

public class GreeterService : Greeter.GreeterBase
{
    private readonly ILogger<GreeterService> _logger;

    public GreeterService(ILogger<GreeterService> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public override Task<HelloReply> SayHello(HelloRequest request,
        ServerCallContext context)
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Saying hello to {Name}", request.Name);
        return Task.FromResult(new HelloReply 
        {
            Message = "Hello " + request.Name
        });
    }
}

It is functioning properly and responding with the Hello greeting after I called it using Postman.

Now that I've attempted to use the built-in Authentication functionality on Azure App Service with Microsoft Identity Platform, I haven't encountered any problems using Postman to call it without authentication.

Did you realize that gRPC is compatible with Azure App Service Authentication?

This is my appsettings.json

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "AllowedHosts": "*",
  "Kestrel": {
    "EndpointDefaults": {
      "Protocols": "Http2"
    }
  }
}

and this the Program.cs

using GrpcGreeter.Services;
using System.Reflection;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Additional configuration is required to successfully run gRPC on macOS.
// For instructions on how to configure Kestrel and gRPC clients on macOS, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099682

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddGrpc();
builder.Services.AddGrpcReflection();


var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
app.MapGrpcReflectionService();
app.MapGrpcService<GreeterService>();
app.MapGet("/", () => "Communication with gRPC endpoints must be made through a gRPC client. To learn how to create a client, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2086909");

app.Run();
