So, a while ago I posted about a fairly simple way to write your code for fetching secrets (and other confidential stuff) from Azure Key Vault in such a way, that it would work the same way both in Azure and on your local dev box. I find this pretty important, as it reduces the need for weird workarounds and fallbacks in your code, and at the same time enables…Continue reading How to update from deprecated Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication to new and shiny Azure.Security.KeyVaults.Secrets?
Let’s make this short and sweet. In this particular case, upgrading a Blazor WASM solution to .NET 6 broke the authentication when deployed to Azure. The same issue could probably happen to a fresh project, though. This is what you’re running into: If you open your browser console, you’ll see 2 interesting errors – first: dotnet.6.0.0.o2we6pverp.js:1 mono_wasm_runtime_ready login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400…Continue reading Fixing Blazor WebAssembly .NET 6 MSAL authorization bug
Ah – this was a fun one. I needed to figure out how to purge, flush and clear your commit history on GitHub. Turns out it isn’t as easy as clicking a button in the web user interface – the world is apparently not ready yet! 😁 Luckily, it wasn’t that complicated either – and the steps should work for other flavors of git as well.
