I've recently moved 2 ASP.NET applications (let's call them the "Engine" and "Consumer") hosted on a VM with IIS to Azure web apps. Prior to the move, the Consumer site had a virtual directory with the path pointing to one of the Engine's subfolders (where images and PDFs reside). That allowed the Engine to share those files with the Consumer site, and I could host similar consumer sites that had access to the files as well.
Now that the 2 sites are on Azure as web apps, how can I have the Consumer web app "access" the Engine web app's subdirectory?
Thanks!
As you mentioned both the apps are on same web app service. So, you can use 'Path Mapping' feature of app service. App Service -> Configuration -> Path Mapping
Hopefully this hint will help.
