Signal R functionality to send data to UI not working in Angular/ASP.Net Core web API 3.1 application with Azure Active directory authentication

Question

I am creating one application using Signal R functionality to push the data on UI in Angular/ASP .NET Core web API 3.1 application with Azure Active directory user authentication.

I am writhing this code in angular application.

public DoConnection = (): void => {
this.hubConnection = new signalR.HubConnectionBuilder()
.configureLogging(signalR.LogLevel.Trace)
.withUrl(this.myUrl + "dataHub", {
skipNegotiation: true,
transport: signalR.HttpTransportType.WebSockets
}
)
.build();
this.hubConnection
.start()
.then(() => {
this.hasRemoteConnection = true;
this.registerSignalEvents();
})
.catch(() => {
this.hasRemoteConnection = false;
console.log("No Connection");
});
};



// Reg signalR events
private regSignalEvents(): void {
this.hubConnection.onclose(() => {
this.hasRemoteConnection = false;
});
this.hubConnection.on('doreload', (data) => {
this.sendData(data);
});
}

sendData(doRefresh: boolean): void {
this.doupdate$.next(doreload);
}

but I am getting this error .

Any Idea or working example how Signal R functionality work in Angular 11/ASP .NET Core web API 3.1 application with Azure Active directory user authentication.

Thanks! in advance

This error is usually caused by the client using only the WebSockets transport but the WebSocket protocol not being enabled on the server.so please make sure it is enabled.see : enabling-websockets-on-iis

In Azure, if deployed in app service open your application dashboard>> Go to Configure section.>> then to General Settings tab and enable WebSockets

Also in configure method in dot net core add

app.UseWebSockets(new WebSocketOptions
  {
      KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120),
  });

A workaround would be adding below code before trying to connect or before start() of the connection.

Object.defineProperty(WebSocket, 'OPEN', { value: 1, });
