the deployment PowerShell fails when deploying the code to the web app with authentication issues

Any log messages given by the failure

Expected/desired behavior

OS and Version?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). macOS (Yosemite? El Capitan? Sierra?)

Versions

Mention any other details that might be useful

It seems that basic authentication needs to be enabled on the web app when deployed into different environments (appears to be more reliable on Visual Studio subscriprions) Added this section to the ARM template and it deploys more reliably

        "apiVersion": "2022-03-01",
        "name": "[concat(parameters('webAppName'), '/scm')]",
        "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
        "dependsOn": [
            "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites', parameters('webAppName'))]"
        ],
        "properties": {
            "allow": "true"
        }
    },
    {
        "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/basicPublishingCredentialsPolicies",
        "apiVersion": "2022-03-01",
        "name": "[concat(parameters('webAppName'), '/ftp')]",
        "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
        "dependsOn": [
            "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites', parameters('webAppName'))]"
        ],
        "properties": {
            "allow": "true"
        }
    },
