The API is secured with Azure Active Directory. Curren

Answer 1

The AppServiceAuthSession is cookie which is different than a token. In this scenario, you need to modify the config of Azure app to make it acquire the access_token for the web API.

We can use the Resource Explore to modify the settings like below:

1 . locate the angular web app

2 . locate the config->authsettings(resource is the clientId of Azure app which used to protect your apps)

"additionalLoginParams": [
  "response_type=code id_token",
  "resource=3fa9607b-63cc-4050-82b7-91e44ff1df38"
],

3. config the redirect_uri for Azure app like below: https://appfei.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad/callback

Then after you login in the angular app, you can get the access_token via the endpoint: https://appfei.azurewebsites.net/.auth/me

Then we need to protect the web API using the Advanced Azure Active Settings like figure below to enable the access_token could call the web API:
