No Microsoft Identity Authentication Type for "Blazor Web App" Project Template?


I'm running Visual Studio 2022 17.8 and have .NET 8.0.100 SDK (both are Release versions, I was never running Preview) installed but it seems the new "Blazor Web App" Project Template doesn't have Microsoft Identity as an Authentication Type? Project Configuration Window

Did Microsoft release this template without support for this Authentication Type or have I missed something?


Solution

  • For reasons beyond my comprehension, this functionality is not available in this template for .NET 8 and is planned for .NET 9.
