umbraco - WebApi auth using Azure AD

Question

I've integrated Azure AD within Umbraco v8 using this blog post which works perfectly. The issue now is that WebApis are not working as the external login (AD) kicks in even when including the Authorization header with the WebApis call

I get the below redirect when doing a normal WebApi call.

So my question is, how would I make AD authenticates my WebApi calls using the Authorization header.

Answer 1

I fixed the issue by setting a local account (username and password). The issue was that the user I tried authenticating with had no Content and Media start nodes, so Umbraco falls back to Azure AD authentication. Once set all is good.
