How to protect password with static site in Azure

I have a static site (i.e. all html files, no .Net project), which is hosted in Azure. I am trying to password protect this site. I read that I can create my own authorization module, which I did, but I can’t install it, because I need to run the appcmd.exe command to allow editing the correct web.config bit.

Or; how can I password protect a static azure site or how can I use the functions of ServiceDefinition.csdef without a visual studio project?

On the management portal, you can configure your site to use credentials. Credentials are managed through the Azure portal if you use this method. enter image description here

You can use Forms Authentication , which should be fairly simple to implement and will not require a task to run (you need to run appcmd.exe),

Configure the application to use authentication in your web.config.

<authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="/myadminlogin.aspx" protection="All" path="/" timeout="120" /> </authentication>

Define protected folders in the web.config file.

  <location path="secure"> <system.web> <authorization> <deny users="?" /> </authorization> </system.web> </location>

In your login area, check the status and set the auth cookie:

  'SET AUTH COOKIE FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(sessionID, False) response.redirect(/secure/securearea.html)

This, unfortunately, is one page where you will need server-side code.
