Show and tell: Deploying NiceGUI app in Azure WebApp with Authentication

[Rjdrenth]

Hi everybody,

Recently I have been working on integrating Azure Entra Authentication into my NiceGUI app that I created for internal use within my company. As we already use Microsoft accounts within our company, Azure Entra was used to authenticate users and limit access.
It was quite a journey, which might have been due to a lack of experience in this area, so I decided to share my solution.

It is not perfect, e.g. I would have liked to incorporate some catch-all middleware as demonstrated in the NiceGUI authentication example, but I ended up with a working solution.

I would like to share the results with anyone who is interested with a minimal example, which can be viewed here.

It only covers the NiceGUI side of things and does not cover all the Azure-side hoops you need to go through, such as registering an Entra application and whatnot. Nevertheless, I hope it is useful to somebody. Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you so much, I am looking for exactly something like this right now. I also would be intrested in the azure part, as I dont have much experience with hosting on azure + EntraID
