I have an external website that I would like to call my Function App. However, this Function App has Service Authentication enabled and needs to be logged into using Active Directory. Is it possible for my non-Azure App Service hosted website to get data from the Function App?

Azure Functions

An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.

    It is possible for your website to authenticate and get data from the Function App, regardless of whether it is hosted on Azure.
    While there are a few options here, I would recommend to use API Management for Authentication.
    The following article walks through how to configure this for your Function:
