I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement managed identities for my Next.js app that's hosted on Azure Static Web Apps (SWA). This app uses server-side rendering (SSR) and incremental static regeneration (ISR), and it calls Azure Functions for backend APIs. I want to ensure that the server-side part of my Next.js app can securely authenticate while accessing the Functions. The challenge is that my end users are authenticated via Supabase Auth, and I don't want to restrict their access. Could anyone explain how to properly set up managed identities for this scenario? Additionally, I'm curious about best practices for local development when using managed identities—how can my local Next.js app access Azure Functions during development? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

It’s important to note that you can’t use managed identities when developing locally. Instead, you might want to deploy your app directly from your laptop to a development environment. This way, you can test how everything works with managed identities without the limitations of local authentication.
You might want to check out the Azure documentation for managing identities. A good approach is to use the Azure account plugin and implement defaultAzureCredential. This can automatically pick up your credentials if you're signed in to the Azure CLI. Also, consider setting up your app to prompt for login in debug mode. Just ensure your user account has the same permissions as the managed identity for your Azure Functions. Getting everything in place with role assignments is straightforward too!
