Quick Fix: To integrate Blazor Web Assembly into a Blazor United Project, one must install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Server NuGet Package and add the reference of Blazor Web Assembly App to Blazor Web App. Then, in the Connected Services, add the Microsoft Identity Platform, select the Tenant ID related to Azure ADB2C and configure the necessary permissions.
The Problem:
In ASP.NET Core 8 Blazor United, integrating Azure B2C for user authentication seems to be different from the previous ASP.NET Core 7 Blazor server-side approach. It’s challenging to find relevant code samples or documentation explaining how to configure Azure B2C in this new Blazor model.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Configure Blazor United Project with Azure B2C
Create Blazor Web App and Blazor WebAssembly App:
Start by creating a new Blazor Web App with .NET 8.0 Preview version.
Then, add a new Blazor WebAssembly App with .NET 8.0 Preview version to the solution.
Select "Microsoft Identity Platform" as the Authentication type.
Integrate Blazor WebAssembly App into Blazor United Project:
Install the "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Server" NuGet Package in the Blazor WebAssembly App.
Add a reference from the Blazor Web App to the Blazor Web Assembly App.
Configure Microsoft Identity Platform:
In the Blazor United Project, navigate to "Connected Services" and add "Microsoft Identity Platform."
Select the appropriate Tenant ID and create a new App in Azure ADB2C.
Configure Permissions:
Follow the Microsoft documentation to configure the necessary permissions for the Azure B2C integration.
Additional Resources:
Refer to the updated Microsoft documentation for version 8 (once available) for more detailed guidance.
The BlazorHelpWebsite provides clear steps for configuring B2C in older versions, which can be helpful for understanding the general process.
