Azure Static Web App–Password protect your environments

As a follow-up on the presentation I did at CloudBrew about Azure Static Web Apps I want to write a series of blog posts.

Yesterday I showed you how you can have multiple environments for your Azure Static Web App. However not every environment is production-ready or should be accessible to everyone. To limit access you can password protect your staging or all environments.

To enable this feature, you need to open the Azure Poral and go to your static web app resource.

  • Go to Settings –> Configuration.

  • Switch to the General Settings tab.
  • Change the Password protection setting from Disabled to Protect staging environments only to protect only your app's pre-production environments or Protect both production and staging environments to protect all environments.
  • Choose a strong Visitor password and enter it again for confirmation.
  • Click Save at the top to apply the changes.

If we now try to access our (staging) environment, we first need to enter our visitor password before we can view the site:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
