Configuring Auth 2.0 in APIM for Java APIs Running on App Services

A step by step guide with an example project

When you deploy your web apps or APIs on App services you can either expose them directly from the App services endpoint or you can serve through Azure APIM. Using APIM has several advantages such as routing to different apps based on the context path, implementing microservices, adding OAuth, caching layer, sharing your APIs through the Developer portal, etc.

In this post, we will see how to configure OAuth 2.0 for the Java APIs running on the App services through Azure APIM.
