Store appsettings.json in Azure App Service Web App

Question

I have created my first ASP Core MVC 3.1 app and published it in Azure. This works fine but I noticed that my settings.json file is visible in the root exposing my db connection string and Azure AD info.

I have been successful in 'hiding' the db connection string by adding a new connection string called Database in App Service>Settings>configuration. I named it the same as the entry in my settings.json file and it magically works. I have now removed this from the settings.json file.

In Startup I use

 var connection = Configuration.GetConnectionString("Database");
        services.AddDbContext<BookStoreContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(connection));

The Azure login info is in an Array so I am not sure how I add this to the App Service Settings:

"AzureAd": {
"Instance": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/",
"Domain": "xxxx.onmicrosoft.com",
"TenantId": "xxxxxx-a2dd-4fde-bf8f-f75ab18b21ac",
"ClientId": "xxxxxxxxx-a9bb-4722-b615-6dcbdc646326",
"ClientSecret":xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"CallbackPath": "/signin-oidc"

},

In Startup I use:

services.AddAuthentication(AzureADDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddAzureAD(options => Configuration.Bind("AzureAd", options));

Any help will be much appeciated.

Thanks,

Do yiu have any update?

According to my test, if you want to store array settings in Azure App Service configuration. You have two choices.

With Azure APP service window, you can store it like {"AzureAd:Domain" :""}

With App Service on Linux or Web App for Containers, you can store it like {"AzureAd_Domain" :""}

You can try to add these setting data with nested JSON key structure as below in Application settings.

For more information about setting configuration keys and values, please check these Docs:
