After you create and configure an app service for the Azure AD SCIM microservice, you need to publish the microservice to your app service to make API calls to Azure AD.

Publishing the microservice requires you to have the appropriate ZIP file for the microservice. Please contact EmpowerID for the file if you do not have it.

Publish the microservice

  1. Copy the below PowerShell script into the text editor of your choice and save it as zipdeploy_appService.ps1.

    param( $pubProfileFilePath ,$zipFilePath ) $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" $pubProfile = [xml](gc $pubProfileFilePath) $zipPubProfile = $pubProfile.publishData.publishProfile | where { $_.publishMethod -eq "zipdeploy" } $userAgent = "powershell/1.0" $base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $zipPubProfile.userName, $zipPubProfile.userPWD))) $zipdeployUrl = "https://$($zipPubProfile.publishUrl)/api/zipdeploy" $deploymentsUrl = "https://$($zipPubProfile.publishUrl)/api/deployments" Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $zipdeployUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -UserAgent $userAgent -Method Post -InFile $zipFilePath Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $deploymentsUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -UserAgent $userAgent -Method Get

     

  2. Open an administrative PowerShell session.

  3. Navigate to the directory where you saved the script and execute the script, passing in the values of the pubProfilePath and zipFilePath parameters via the command line, where the value of pubProfilePath is the path to the SCIM App Service Publisher Profile Settings file you downloaded from Azure, and the value of zipFilePath is the path to the microservice ZIP file you received from EmpowerID.

    The command to execute the script should look similar to that shown in the below image.

     

If the command executes successfully, you should see output similar to that shown below.

The Azure AD SCIM Microservice is now published to your app service. The next step is to set permissions for the managed identity used by the App Service.
