Azure AD as a service

Can ISVs use Azure AD as a Service to provide
1. Authentication
2. MFA and pass word management for users ?
How are the users partitioned per tenant ?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Azure Active Directory is a service that provides identity and access management capabilities in the cloud.
ISV is developing hosted multi-tenant web application that provides user management features for other organizations that use Azure AD. You could use the Graph API to access to directory objects.
For more detail information, you could refer to:

How to set same domain name for Azure Storage and Hosted Service

I have a web application running on azure and using azure storage with blob. My application allows to edit html files that are in the azure storage to save with another name and publish them later. I am using javascript to edit the html content that
I display in an Iframe but as the domain of my web application and the html that I try to edit are not the same, I got and this error "Unsafe JavaScript
attempt to access frame with URL "URL1" from frame with URL "URL2". Domains, protocols and ports must match".
I have been doing some research about it and the only way to make it work is to have the web application and the html that I want to access using javascript under the same domain.
So my question is: is it possible to have the same domain name in azure for the hosted service and the storage.
Like this:
hosted service: example.com
storage: example.com
By the way I already customize the domain names so they looks like this:
hosted service <mydomainname>.com
storage <blob.mydomainname>.com
Actually I have my application running in another hosting and I have no problem there since I have a folder where I am storing the files that I am editing so they are in the same domain as the application. I have been thinking in to do the same with Azure,
at least to have a folder where I can store the html file meanwhile I am editing it but I am not sure how much space I have in the hosted service to store temporary files.
let me know if you have a good tip or idea about how to solve this issue.

Hi Rodrigo,
Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
> I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
from blob storage and returns it.
Please check
Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.
Thanks.

Azure ML Published Web Services - Cross Origin Requests

It appears Azure ML published web services do not support cross-origin requests. Simply trying to call a published Azure ML service using jQuery in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE is blocked because because of the missing access control headers in the
response. Is there any way to publish an Azure ML web service so it can be called from a domain other than *.azureml.net?

Hi ejasoncline,
Yes, CORS is currently not supported for the web services, but we will make a note of this request and consider adding support.
You can use the sample code to call the published webservice using a standalone client. The webservice help page (<score url>/help) should have sample code for C#, Python & R.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am unaware of any changes to the VM apart from the usual windows updates.

Azure PowerShell :: Set-AzureSqlDatabase :: "Service Objective Assignment" in progress

When I run the Set-AzureSqlDatabase command to update the SQL Edition, using the
-Edition parameter, and try to change it back to the previously configured edition, I receive a message saying:
Set-AzureSqlDatabase : A service objective assignment on server 'cvhgaeh2v0' and database 'Trevor01DB' is already in progress. Please wait until the service objective assignment state for the database is marked as 'Completed'.
Can someone please help me understand what this means? What exactly is a
service objective assignment?
I am using Windows PowerShell 5.0 September Preview on Windows
8.1 Professional with Update, and the Azure PowerShell module version
0.8.8.

Something going on with Azure Website and Cloud Service?

Starting this morning, my website (WordPress) could not even load with Shared Plan. When I switch it to Basic plan it is running extremely slow (25s to load a page). This is a very low traffic site (100 page views/day). Even when there is only 1 connection
it takes 25s to load. Also, just a few minutes ago, my cloud service app is getting "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed
to respond xx.xxx.xx.xx:80" and my web app is down. We reboot the cloud service and the database VM and it is still showing the same error. All of our services are on the US West region.

I managed to capture a few stack when it took long time. It indicated waiting on mysql database. Do replace {sitename} with your site name. You might want to check cleardb status - see if anything
stands out.

Azure Authentication for Cloud Services

I updated Visual Studio to Web Tools 2013.1 and the "Enable Azure Authentication" disappeared. I need to secure this application, the Azure AD and domain are done, but I can't seem to find how to do it in Visual Studio anymore. I keep getting the
message:
The current installed Azure Authentication Tools is not compatible with the verion of Web Developer Tools you recently updated; therefore , the Azure Authentication related command and publish support will be unavailable.
'Click Here' to download the required update
SO IN TOTAL FRUSTRATION - One would think you could click and solve the problem BUT....NO
You get the message "This product requires Microsoft Web Developer Tools 2012.2.1 - Visual Studio 2012" Please install it, then try again installing this product again. Then the dialog closes, and there is no resolution.
HELP!

hi,
From the error message, I think you may need check your VS and Web Tools version whether matched each other.
Visual Studio to Web Tools 2013.1 need the version of Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
If your VS met requirement, I suggest you could uninstall the Web Tools and installed it from this page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=41532 ). Any
update info, please let me know.

Hi, Can i use Azure Search As A Service in Dotnetnuke..

hi,
I want to use faceted Navigation of Azure Search , in Dotnetnuke.
Is it possible?
Please Do Reply ....
Thank you..

Hi,
Just to clarify, do you mean you want to use Azure Search from a website created using Dotnetnuke, or did you mean something else?
Azure Search exposes a REST API that can be called via HTTP from any platform or language.
In terms of faceted navigation specifically, this article may help you:

Connect Azure Pack to Service Bus for Windows Server with Custom DNS

Hello! I'm trying to configure Azure Pack to use Service Bus for Windows Server 1.1 with Custom DNS.
All runs on one virtual machine (Windows Server 2012 R2) in Windows Azure.
I following this post:
roysvork.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/developing-against-service-bus-for-windows-1-1
Replace FramDNS "servicebus" to "mymachine.cloudapp.net", and create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
On Windows Azure Virtual Machine:
1.I'll set publuc DNS: mymachine.cloudapp.net
2.Open ports: 10354,10355,10356,10359,10000-10004
3.In hosts file: 127.0.0.1 mymachine.cloudapp.net
4.Create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
PowerShell:
Stop-SBFarm –Verbose
Set-SBFarm -FarmDns 'mymachine.cloudapp.net'
Update-SBHost –Verbose
Start-SBFarm –Verbose
New-SBAuthorizationRule -NamespaceName ServiceBusDefaultNamespace -Name MainRule -Rights Manage, Send, Listen
Afther that i can connect to my ServiceBusDefaultNamespace with SAS.
It's work perfect. But, When I try to create Service Bus Namespace from Azure Pack Tenant portal - in Log an Exception:
Namespace Provisioning Exception. TrackingId: . SystemId: . Namespace: SomeNamespace.
Method: Activating. Exception: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while
sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed:
Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. --->
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according
to the validation procedure.
And status of namespace - Activating.
Please help!

Hi Alexander,
According to the log, it seems that the validation process of the certificate failed.
Please make sure that the certificate is installed in the client properly.
Usually, self-signed certificate should be installed in the Computer Account-->Trusted Root Certificate Authorities.

Azure PAAS Cloud service Role restart scenario

Hi Azure team,
I want to know if i'm changing any configuration setting value through azure portal, Will it restart the Role instance?
Steps:
Azure portal login->cloud service->configure->change and save the configuration value.

It depends on the change, adding disks won't restart. Changing the underlying hardware - i.e. changing the size of the machine will force a restart.

Setup Windows Azure Workflow - Add-WFHost error "WF_Management/WFTOPIC" and token provider service

Hi,
i want to install the new windows azure workflow manager and service bus on my sharepoint 2013 server.
All works fine in setup. I got the Powershell-Script from the wizard and configured it to meet my requierments.
I start it and get to the last point "add-wfhost".
Here i got following error:
VERBOSE: [12.12.2012 09:30:13]: Validating input and configuration parameters.
VERBOSE: [12.12.2012 09:30:14]: Installing auto-generated certificate.

I installed it on a sharepoint 2013 box server (AD, DNS, SQL and SP on one maschin).
I know this is not supported, but it should work. Im loged in as the service account for the workflow. I've granted the domain admin rights and sql sysadmin /dbowner rights.
Now my answer is:
It is not the "normal" error with the wf_management/WFTOPIC. What is this token provider service and why he tries the port 9355. I dont use ssl, so how can i change the request url or how do i have to set it up correct?
Thx alot on this!

When you say 'setup gateway correctly' what do you mean?
How was your gateway setup and what did you change?
I have the same problem, and despite removing all proxy settings, i am still having this issue. I can navigate fine to the 'WorkflowDefaultNamespace' and get a RSS Feed type of page, but when i add the $STS/Windows Virtual Directories, i get a 400 Bad Request.

Visual Studio cannot remote debug Azure cloud service: There was a failure to launch the remote debugger

I am trying to invoke remote debugger on an Azure worker role cloud service, following the example of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ff683670.aspx
But on attaching the remote debugger for the cloud service instance
Microsoft Visual Studio
There was a failure to launch the remote debugger.
OK
According to somebody else's extra coverage on the topic, there are extra ports 4016/4017 that need to be taken care of (but do they have to be exposed externally)?
http://developers.de/blogs/damir_dobric/archive/2014/02/04/behind-windows-azure-remote-debugger.aspx
So servicedefinition.csdef gets
    <Endpoints>
      <InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="http" port="80" />
      <InputEndpoint name="RemoteDebugger" protocol="tcp" port="4016" localPort="4016" />

        </AllocatePublicPortFrom>
      </InstanceInputEndpoint>
    </Endpoints>
Serviceconfiguration.cscfg gets
      <Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.Connector.Enabled" value="true" />
      <Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.Connector.Version" value="2.3" />
      <Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.ClientThumbprint" value="THUMBNAIL" />

    <Certificates>
      <Certificate name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.TransportValidation" thumbprint="THUMBNAIL" thumbprintAlgorithm="sha1"
/>
    </Certificates>
But all these are to no avail; the same error still pops for Visual Studio 2013 Update 4; Azure SDK 2.3
Anybody regularly perform remote debugging for Azure cloud services?
The melody of logic will always play out the truth. ~ Narumi Ayumu, Spiral

And, how do I control that in Visual Studio?
All I get is the Attach Debugger... context menu option in the Azure cloud service nodes in Server Explorer. That is where it is failing. There are no customisable options.
Because of that, the Attach to Process dialog box is unable to retrieve the list of processes (to debug) in the remote worker role instance server.
I tested a blank-template worker role project and published to a new cloud project, and this simplistic copy had no problems with the Remote debugger.
Now the question is, what is it about this real-world project/cloud service that is different from blank sample? From what I compare between what I think are the relevant settings, there are none.

Unable to send message in Service bus queue through Webrole which are connected to Azure VPN

I have created two Azure VPN and two cloud services(deployed webrole) and one service bus queue
First Azure VPN and cloud service(deployed webrole) is created in same affinity group.
Second Azure VPN and cloud service is created in West US
Service bus queue is also created in West US.
When I send message in service bus queue from first cloud service (same affinity group) then message sends successfuly
but when I send message in same service bus queue from second service(West US- Webrole) then unable to send message and not throwing any exception.
I don't know, whats happening?
Its very urgent..... client is waiting.
Please help me... Thanks.
hema

Thanks for reply. Got the cause but still looking for solution.
Actually we have created Azure VPN using Express route and
all are configured for Private Peering.
Try to access service bus queue from Web role which is attached to Express route network.
I am unable to access service bus queue and send message...because cloud services deployed in virtual networks are supported over the private peering path.
There are 3 types: public, private and default route (forced tunneling).
How can be configured for all 3 which will force all traffic through the tunnel except for Azure public service?
Do you have any idea on this scenario?
Thanks.

Thanks for posting here.
Upgrading Web and Business Databases
Upgrading Web or Business databases to a new service tier/performance level does not take the database offline. The database will continue to work through the upgrade operation. At the time of the actual transition to the new performance level temporary
dropping of the connections to the database can happen for a very small duration (typically measured in seconds). If an application has transient fault handling for connection terminations then it is sufficient to protect against dropped connections at the
end of the upgrade.
Upgrading a Web or Business database to a new service tier involves the following steps:
Determine service tier based on feature capability
Determine an acceptable performance level based on historical resource usage
Why does existing performance for my Web or Business database map to the higher Premium levels?
Tuning your workload to fit a lower performance level
Upgrade to the new service tier/performance level
Monitor the upgrade to the new service tier/performance level
Monitor the database after the upgrade
Refer:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-upgrade-new-service-tiers/
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn741336.aspx
Hope this helps you.
