Creating a Custom Domain in Azure B2C without Front Door
In this blog post, we will explore the process of setting up a custom domain in Azure B2C without using Front Door. Azure B2C (Business to Customer) is a popular identity and access management service provided by Microsoft. By default, Azure B2C assigns a domain name to your tenant, such as [yourtenant].b2clogin.com. However, using a custom domain offers branding benefits and enhances the user experience.
Why Use a Custom Domain in Azure B2C?
Azure B2C allows you to use your own domain name, such as login.yourcompany.com, for user authentication and authorization. By using a custom domain, you can reinforce your brand identity and provide a seamless login experience for your customers.
Step 1: Verify Domain Ownership
The first step is to verify your domain ownership with Azure. This ensures that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the DNS settings.
Step 2: Configure DNS for the Custom Domain
Next, you need to configure the DNS settings for your custom domain. This involves adding specific DNS records that Azure B2C requires to map your custom domain to your B2C tenant.
Step 3: Update B2C Custom Domain Settings
Once the DNS configuration is complete, you can update the custom domain settings in the Azure portal. This includes specifying your custom domain name and selecting the appropriate SSL certificate for secure communication.
Step 4: Test the Custom Domain
After updating the custom domain settings, it is crucial to thoroughly test the configuration to ensure a seamless user experience. You can perform end-to-end testing by using different user flows and verifying that the custom domain URL is displayed correctly.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily set up a custom domain in Azure B2C without using Front Door. This allows you to provide a branded and seamless login experience for your customers. Remember to consider the impact on your existing applications and user flows before making any changes to your domain configuration.
