Question

As described in the title.
I have 2 app service in different regions, they are protected by build-in auth.
And I want to set up a azure front door with 2 origin groups for them.

The question is how to set their health probe path in AFD ?

since they all are protected by built-in auth and every http request need auth right?

Hello Xindi Li

Greetings!

I understand that you are setting up a health probe at the front door.

• A 200 OK status code indicates that the origin is healthy, while any other status code is considered a failure.
• If a valid HTTP response isn't received for a probe, it will be counted as a failure.
• AFD does not support adding authentication methods for Health probes.
• Using an authentication method will result in a 401-error code, whereas it will work without authentication.
