You can just connect from Visual Studio 2019 and it should all work without changing the portal settings.

  1. Open Visual Studio and your project
  2. Open Cloud Explorer View -> Cloud Explorer or ctrl+\, ctrl+x
  3. Find your App Service node in Cloud Explorer and select it
  4. Choose Attach Debugger from the context menu or the actions pane

Attach Debugger in Visual Studio
