Creating and configuring Azure AD B2C instance

In this section, we will be creating Azure AD B2C instance. We will be doing this from the Azure portal. First, we will create an Azure AD B2C resource, then we will create an application that will help us to integrate Azure AD B2C into our ASP.NET Core web application.

Creating an Azure AD B2C resource

We can follow these steps to create an Azure AD B2C resource:
