I have a webapi that is hosted on Azure. I'm trying to use the App Service authentication service for Google / Facebook. I've got it setup with Google and can see the google login page when I try to access this url
However, if i try to access one of the endpoints, i get an unauthorized error. For example, I'm using the Visual Studio WebAPI template project. It has the following endpoint:
<Error>
<Message>Authorization has been denied for this request.</Message>
</Error>
</div> <div class="line"></div> <div class="line">The controller for that endpoint looks like this (again this is a pre-generated code from the Web API template):</div> <div class="line">
namespace WebApi.Controllers
{
[Authorize]
[RoutePrefix("api/Account")]
public class AccountController : ApiController
{
private const string LocalLoginProvider = "Local";
private ApplicationUserManager _userManager;
public AccountController()
{
}
I believe there needs to be a registration process done first on the webapi backend. For example, to call the following endpoint:

Azure App Service Authentication with Google / Facebook - register user on webapi backend
Jul 14, 2016 12:44 AM|solidfish|LINK
I have a webapi that is hosted on Azure. I'm trying to use the App Service authentication service for Google / Facebook. I've got it setup with Google and can see the google login page when I try to access this url
https://myapp.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/google
Once I login with google, i see all my google information here:
https://myapp.azurewebsites.net/.auth/me
However, if i try to access one of the endpoints, i get an unauthorized error. For example, I'm using the Visual Studio WebAPI template project. It has the following endpoint:
https://myapp.azurewebsites.net/api/Values
That endpoint above gives me this error:
<div class="line"> </div> <div class="line"></div> <div class="line">The controller for that endpoint looks like this (again this is a pre-generated code from the Web API template):</div> <div class="line">namespace WebApi.Controllers { [Authorize] [RoutePrefix("api/Account")] public class AccountController : ApiController { private const string LocalLoginProvider = "Local"; private ApplicationUserManager _userManager; public AccountController() { }I believe there needs to be a registration process done first on the webapi backend. For example, to call the following endpoint:
https://myapp.azurewebsites.net/api/Account/RegisterExternal
Does this registration process need to take place?
If so, how should my client do the POST so it gets through the Azure authentication service?

Do you use Azure Ad to authorize your Azure App service? If you have some issue related with Azure Ad, this forum is better for you to get a better support: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/home?forum=WindowsAzureAD
