There is an azure web app in azure app service ASE. It is linked to a Vnet. And a point to site VPN between laptops/PCs connecting to the Vnet from outside cloud/ on premises to form an hybrid cloud setup of sorts. I am trying to see if a network file share / share folder in a PC/VM in that Vnet can be accessed from the web app (app service) . When I try this I get a unauthorized exception. what are the options do I have ? will having a cloud service web role instead of the web app help? Or set up a domain controller + AD in the Vnet and add VMs to the domain and trying to access the share as a domain user( impersonation via code) ? Also I am not sure if I connect my laptop/PC to this Vnet via point to site VPN , the laptop/PC will come under the domain that we created.
The use case behind this to show some on premises media( images, videos etc possibly bigger sizes ) on a web app running in azure PaaS.
Please share your thoughts and comments.
