<span>Azure App Service provides built-in authentication and authorization support, so you can sign in users and access data by writing minimal or no code in your web app. </span><span>The same </span><span>a</span><span>uthentication</span><span> and a</span><span>uthorization</span><span>feature support </span><span>for</span><span> Windows apps </span><span>is now available to App Service on Linux </span><span>including</span><span> Web App for Containers.</span><ahref="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-authentication-overview"><span>This </span><span>overview </span><span>article</span></a><span> describes how App Service helps simplify authentication and authorization for your app.</span><span></span>
<h1><b><span>Is the feature </span></b><b><span>behavior</span></b><b><span> different on Linux?</span></b></h1>
<span>No. The authen</span><span>ti</span><span>cation and authorization works the </span><span>same </span><span>way </span><span>on Linux apps as Windows.</span><span>The configuration experience on Azure portal and CLI is </span><span>exactly</span><span>the </span><span>same</span><span>, if you’re </span><span>familiar</span><span> with how to configure</span><span> a </span><span>Windows</span><span> app for </span><span>this</span><span> feature, you’re ready to go and can do the same for </span><span>a </span><span>Linux app.</span><span></span>
