I am in the process of creating a release pipeline for a node application to a web app in app services. The issue is i am getting this error :

Error: Failed to get resource ID for resource type 'Microsoft.Web/Sites' and resource name 'SurveySaysStaging'. Error: Could not fetch access token for Managed Service Principal. Please configure Managed Service Identity (MSI) for virtual machine 'https://aka.ms/azure-msi-docs'. Status code: 400, status message: Bad Request.

I have activated MSI but it is still not working. I also could not find anything related to service principals in my settings and only shows details of the subscriptions. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Error: Failed to get resource ID for resource type 'Microsoft.Web/Sites'

According to the error message:

 Failed to get resource ID for resource type 'Microsoft.Web/Sites' and resource name 'SurveySaysStaging'. Error: Could not fetch access token for Managed Service Principal.

If you are trying to run your release with the hosted agent, you may have this issue. Because A hosted agent doesn't support MSI based authentication.

In order to use MSI based Authentication, you need to configure a private agent on Azure VM and configure MSI on the Azure VM.

You could check this document for some more details.

Note: You could verify if MSI based authentication has been configured properly please run below script from your PS on Azure VM:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token?api-version=2018-02-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/" -Headers @{Metadata="true"} -Method Get

Besides, if you are already in private agent with activated MSI, you could check this thread or this thread for some helps.

Hope this helps.

My problem was fixed, all i needed to do was create a service connection to the service group.
