i want to add auth_settings into my Azure App Service. I am using this provider:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/windows_function_app

And this is my code. Module:

resource "azurerm_windows_function_app" "function_app" {
  name                 = var.name
  resource_group_name  = var.resource_group_name
  location             = var.location
  storage_account_name = var.storage_account_name
  service_plan_id      = var.service_plan_id
  app_settings         = var.app_settings

  auth_settings {
    enabled          = var.auth_settings_enabled
    active_directory = var.auth_active_directory
  }
}

And variables.tf file:

// ommited the rest
variable "auth_settings_enabled" {
    type = bool
    default = false
}

variable "auth_active_directory" {
    default = null
    type = object({
        client_id         = optional(string)
        client_secret     = optional(string)
        allowed_audiences = optional(list(string))
    })
}

Then, i declare my module in main.tf

/// 
module "function_app_1" {
  source = "./function-app-module"

  // standard vars like name etc here...

  auth_settings_enabled = true
  auth_active_directory = {
    client_id         = var.clientid
    client_secret     = var.clientsecret
    allowed_audiences = [ var.audience ]
  }
}

module "function_app_2" {
  source = "./function-app-module"

  // standard vars like name etc here...
 
  auth_active_directory = {}
}

And after terraform plan commend i am getting this error:

│ Error: Unsupported argument
│
│   on function-app\main.tf line 28, in resource "azurerm_windows_function_app" "function_app":
│   28:     active_directory = var.auth_active_directory
│
│ An argument named "active_directory" is not expected here. Did you mean to define a block of type "active_directory"?
╵

My question is, how to init active_directory in auth_settings object properly?

CodePudding user response：

Since active_directory is a block and not an argument, you cannot define it the way you are currently trying to. So, there are a couple of things to consider:

1. If the enabled value is set to true the active_directory block should be used
2. Variable value assignment to a block rather than an argument

Based on the two assumptions, you could refactor the code block in question like this:

  auth_settings {
    enabled          = var.auth_settings_enabled
    dynamic "active_directory" {
      for_each = auth_settings_enabled ? [1] : []
      content {
        client_id         = var.auth_active_directory.client_id
        client_secret     = var.auth_active_directory.client_secret
        allowed_audiences = var.auth_active_directory.allowed_audiences
      }
    }
  }

In this case, Terraform dynamic block is used [1] to make sure the active_directory block is optional and used only when the auth_settings_enabled variable is equal to true.
