Two web apps under the same Azure Web App

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core SPA app that requires authentication. I also want to have a single static public HTML page for unauthenticated users.

I'd like to set these up like this:

Public HTML page => https://example.com SPA app => https://member.example.com

Can I do this using a single web app on Azure App Service or do I need two separate web apps?

Answer 1

Since other communities have provided suggestions, I just summarized the existing approaches and my ideas for you to achieve your purpose:

• Use multiple virtual directories under a single web app as Zahid Faroq commented

• Use two separate web apps

  Since you are using azure web app, for a simple way, you could leverage App Service Certificate, and choose the S1 Standard certificate SKU which could create SSL bindings for root and www subdomain. Example: A single certificate could be used to protect example.com and www.example.com. If you use other subdomain instead of www and you could confirm that you only need two SSL certificates, then you need to buy an additional SSL for member.example.com. Also, you could check WoTrus TLS / SSL Certificates, GoDaddy SSL Certificates, How to get FREE SSL Certificate for Website (HTTPS).
