Hi all,

I have a general question for deploying Power Pages from DEV Environment to STAGE/PROD Environment.

We have configured a custom authentication provider (OpenID) in our DEV Environment. In our STAGE/PROD Environment we would like to use a different instance of that authentication provider. Therefore we need to point to different Authority URL, change the Client ID, etc.

What would be the recommended way of doing that. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you use the Power Platform CLI in your deployment process then you can make use of deployment profiles to configure the authentication site settings. You can create a deployment profile for each target environment and include the necessary site settings and overwrite their values accordingly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/power-platform-cli#use-deployment-profile

During deployment, you can then set the deploymentProfile switch to use the deployment profile that corresponds to that environment.

I'm afraid I'm not currently aware of a nice way to manage this using "solution aware" power pages deployment (or with the config migration tool) other than to exclude the authentication related site settings from your deployment and then just manually configure them in each environment.

Are there any updates on this Topic in the meanwhile? What we currently do is to deploy the Powerpage via a solution. The solution also contains the authentication settings. In the PROD Environment we do edit the authentication settings which will then create an unmanged layer. While this works I am not sure if there are better ways.

@masterl1983 one way would be to use environment variables for the Site Settings (the authentication provider settings are Site Settings)
