Description

Front Door Standard and Premium now supports sending authenticated requests to its origins using Managed Identities. This feature allows customers to secure their origins by allowing only approved Front Door profiles to access the origins.

Using Managed Identities eliminates the need for customers to manually handle the credentials involved in the authentication process, thereby reducing potential risks associated with credential leakage.
