azure ad B2C + multi tenancy
Hi all, Some context: I'm looking at implementing a Multi-tenant SaaS application using a SPA and Spring Boot backend, running on Azure App Service and using Azure AD B2C for identity management...
Here are some high-level steps you can follow to implement a multi-tenant SaaS application using a SPA and Spring Boot backend, running on Azure App Service and using Azure AD B2C for identity management:
Configure Azure AD B2C: Create an Azure AD B2C tenant and configure it to support multi-tenant applications. You will need to create user flows and custom policies to support authentication and authorization for your application.
Implement SPA: Implement your single-page application (SPA) using a front-end framework such as React, Angular, or Vue.js. Integrate the Azure AD B2C authentication library to enable users to sign in and access your application.
Implement Spring Boot backend: Implement your Spring Boot backend and configure it to authenticate users using Azure AD B2C. You can use the Spring Security framework to handle authentication and authorization.
Configure Azure App Service: Create an Azure App Service and configure it to host your SPA and Spring Boot backend. You can use Azure App Service's built-in support for Java and Node.js to deploy your application.
Implement multi-tenancy: Implement multi-tenancy support in your application by using tenant-specific configuration settings and data. You can use Azure AD B2C's custom attributes to store tenant-specific data for each user.
Test and deploy: Test your application thoroughly and deploy it to your Azure App Service instance. Make sure to configure SSL for secure communication and enable CORS if necessary.
Monitor and manage: Monitor your application's performance and usage using Azure App Service's built-in monitoring and logging tools. You can also use Azure AD B2C's administration portal to manage user accounts and access policies.
