Answer
To enable Microsoft Entra ID authentication on an App Service web app using the Azure portal, you must first navigate to the web app's Authentication settings, select 'Add identity provider' and choose Microsoft, configure the app registration details to restrict access to authenticated requests, and finally click Add to apply the configuration.
To enable built-in authentication (Easy Auth) for an Azure App Service web app using Microsoft Entra ID, the standard sequence starts by opening the Authentication blade in the Azure portal under the web app's Settings. You then click 'Add identity provider' and select 'Microsoft'. Next, you configure the details such as creating a new Entra ID app registration and setting the action to take for unauthenticated requests. Finally, you click 'Add' to save and apply the settings.
