Azure API and tokens issued by azure AD

anyone know of a sample that showcases the azure API management/delivery feature consuming (access) tokens issued by Azure AD?
is there a reasons why its not even a sensible thing to conceive? (it seems obvious...but perhaps I have a disconnect somewhere)

perhaps a useful comment flows from this:
The documentation (at github, on AAD samples) is very engineering centric. Its very correct; very precise, overly so. It embeds best practices within (without teaching how to think about which of the 10 flows are proper, for different scenarios); and sometimes
calls things opened connect, sometimes oauth2. Distinguishing the differences is the subtle art of interpreting Microsoft engineering speak.
I learned 10 years not to program Microsoft apps in a way that is not demonstrated by an official sample. Thus the lack of a AAD sample of Azure API is problematic. I don't know (having been burned 100 times) that the OAUTH2 mentioned in the API docs is
compatible with one of the oauth2 flows of AAD sample land.
call me over thinker, if you like. But, this is what its like to be on the en d of the fragmented, drip drip, ALL change EVERY  3 years, communications style in windows/azure/win32 comsec.
i suspect the fix is another attempt at a best practices document - with best practice teaching samples - similar to those that so excellently rounded out WIF work, in the last generation of efforts.

  • User Enrollment when you have Azure MFA for Office 365/Azure AD and On-Premise resources

    I'm working on setting up MFA for our company and want to establish the following configuration:
    implement MFA for Office 365/Azure AD/organizational account
    implement MFA for a Windows Server 2008 R2 TS
    i've got things working for Azure AD and have installed the Azure MFA Server on a DC.  where i'm getting stuck is that it looks like you have to set up a user enrollment portal internally and have the users enroll a second time.  we're using Azure
    AD Sync between AD and Azure AD, but we are not interested in ADFS.  is there any way to use the existing Azure AD enrollment for the internal users authentication?
    take care,
    Wylie 

    Not at this time. The MFA Server is currently independent of Azure AD so the MFA enrollment for users are separate. We are working to converge the on-premises and cloud scenarios to make a single enrollment possible for both locations. I don't have a timeline
    to announce at this time, but it is in the works.

  • Multiple GET will cause "Add Azure API App Client" to fail

    Hi,
    I'm just playing around with the new Azure App Service API Apps. I've followed the documentation and created the contact list API. I've added to that and created a second GET method with an integer parameter. This works well on the local machine and when
    deployed to Azure. However, when I try to add an App Client I get an enormous error. The important bit, I think, is the message 'Invalid swagger: the operation \"Contacts_Get\" is defined multiple times.' If I remove the second GET message and republish
    then adding an App Client works again.
    Is this a bug or is it a limitation of Swagger. The Swagger UI seems to cope with it effectively.
    Cheers,
    W

    It has to do with how Swashbuckle is auto-generating the operation ids that appear in swagger. The Logic App designer only wants to have 1 operation for each operation id -- it doesn't like ambiguity.
    I built out a library to help cope with this and other issues
    over here, if you use that you can provide a unique "friendly name" for each action (which will then generate a title cased operation id for each).
    In the alternative, you could write a custom operation filter to feed to Swashbuckle to override the operation ids that it is generating for you in the background. You can see how to do that
    over here.

  • Manage Office 365 Licensing via Azure API

    I am at a loss. We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines. As a result we can not add all of our users, nor does anyone want to manage this manually.
    The solution I proposed is to write a web portal where users can go and selectively apply a license for their account. On the back end, the page would execute an API of some kind to Azure and assign a license. In return, they can also go to remove the license
    if they so desire (It will never happen but give the option).
    What is the best way of doing this? The Azure management portal is extremely confusing and I can not figure out where to begin... I created an API that I can't even figure out how to use and I'm not even sure that I will be able to accomplish this using
    an API. Any suggestions?
    I am using Visual Studio 2013 and at this point purely using a bare bones console app just to see if I can get connected and execute a test API.
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Hi,
    Your second sentence is unclear "We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines".
    Users can install Office 365 ProPlus on up to five different computers with a single Office 365 license. For example, a user can have Office 365 ProPlus installed on a computer in the office, on a laptop to use when traveling, and on a home computer.
    With that in mind, do you really need to create this API?
    Here's some more info on the Pro Plus license:
    To use Office 365 ProPlus, a user must have an Office 365 account and have been assigned a license. If you, as the Office 365 administrator for your organization, remove a user’s license or account, the user’s installations of Office 365 ProPlus go into
    reduced functionality mode.
    Even though users don’t need to be connected to the Internet all the time to use Office 365 ProPlus, users must connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days. This is so that the status of their Office 365 subscriptions can be checked. If users don’t
    connect within 30 days, Office 365 ProPlus goes into reduced functionality mode. After users connect to the Internet and their subscription status is verified, all the features of Office 365 ProPlus are available again.

  • 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.

  • Which one is the best way to collect config and performance details in azure

    Hi ,
    I want to collect the information of both configuration and performance of cloud, virtual machine and web role .I am going to collect all these details using
    java.  so Please suggest which one is the best way.

    Hi,
    There are four main tasks to use Azure Diagnostics:
    Setup WAD
    Configuring data collection
    Instrumenting your code
    Viewing data
    The original Azure SDK 1.0 included functionality to collect diagnostics and store them in Azure storage collectively known as Azure Diagnostics (WAD). This software, built upon the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) framework, fulfills two design requirements
    introduced by Azure scale-out architecture:
    Save diagnostic data that would be lost during a reimaging of the instance..
    Provide a central repository for diagnostics from multiple instances.
    After including Azure Diagnostics in the role (ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and ServiceDefinition.csdef), WAD collects diagnostic data from all the instances of that particular role. The diagnostic data can be used for debugging and troubleshooting, measuring
    performance, monitoring resource usage, traffic analysis and capacity planning, and auditing. Transfers to Azure storage account for persistence can either be scheduled or on-demand.
    To know more about Azure Diagnostics, please refer to the below article ( Section : Designing More Supportable Azure Services > Azure Diagnostics )

  • Issues with Azure South East Australia on Saturday @ 7am-8am Sydney Time

    Hello there
    Yesterday Saturday 10th of Jan @ approx 7.28am until 8am our CAS003AU virtual server was non responsive.
    It came online on it’s own.
    This server is in the Azure South East Australia region.  I have checked your status pages and found logged an issue on 7th of Jan (UTC time) which doesn’t appear to correlate to this issue.
    Can you urgently investigate and advise why this happened? Why it isn’t on your status page?  How can we ensure this doesn’t happen again?
    I’m available via email: [email protected]

  • Test Controller and Test Agents on Azure

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to run a Test Controller and Test Agents on Azure and the controller fails when trying to register with TFS.  We did set up a VPN and it seems to be working but I saw this on MSDN:
    If the On-Premise machines are domain joint, you will need to add an IPSec exemption so that the bidirectional communication can succeed. This can be avoided if you can unjoin the On-premise machine from the domain and join it to a workgroup instead.
    I don't know what "domain joint" means but I am wondering about the IPSec exemption.  Can anybody explain what this means?
    Thanks!

  • Retrieving billing/usage through Azure API

    I'm looking to retrieve my account usage details through Azure API but couldn't find the relevant API for that.
    I know I can download the CSV file of usage details in Azure Portal Account->Subscriptions->Download Usage Details, and would need to retrieve the same through API.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi ksrishna,
    Thanks for your posting!
    Currently we don't got the billing usage file using API. You could download in the account page on the portal. Also, you could vote this feature via this customer feedback page:

  • Azure API Management Usage Pattern for Enterprise - Grouping APIs

    Consider the following scenario:
    I have a 100 people in one org with 4 divisions
    I create on Azure API Management instance
    All 100 people are developing APIs and adding them to this single API management instance
    Can I achieve following? If yes, how?
    I want to group the APIs by those 4 division. Allow access of APIs only if it is added by people in their division. When I say allow access, basically I mean search the APIs and call the APIs.

    You can achieve this by using "Groups". First, you need to have a group per division. You can either manually create the groups and add users to them or if you use Azure Active Directory and enable developers to login with AAD to the portal, then
    their existing group membership will also be available to use.
    Once you have the group set up you need to have a product for each group. You can set the visibility settings of the product so that only members of a given group can see it. Then you can set which APIs the product contains and thus complete the mapping
    of groups to APIs.

  • Azure API Management - external endpoints

    Hi,
    I'm trying to implement the following scenario by using the preview Azure API management.
    I have a Web API, hosted in an OnPrem IIS. I want to expose this API via the Azure API Management.
    How can I manage exposing an OnPrem endpoint? Must I first be sure that my existing OnPrem API is published on the Internet? Or can I use a Service Bus Relay endpoint?
    Thanks.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for posting!
    Base on my understanding, If your website is hosted on-permission( Intranet), you need expose the endpoints for Azure API management , and you need use the http or https endpoints for this feature. You could use azure service bus service to expose
    your endpoints like this blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/paolos/archive/2013/10/24/how-to-integrate-a-windows-azure-web-site-with-a-lob-app-via-a-service-bus-relay-service.aspx
    ) and this thread  (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9626386/relay-webhttprelaybinding-to-webapi-service ), Also, you could publish the site on internet
    and use the API url (http://blogs.iis.net/tomkmvp/archive/2010/02/03/how-do-you-access-iis-behind-a-nat-router.aspx ).If I am misunderstanding , please
    let me know free.

  • Azure API Manager ALM

    Would like some good documentation on best practices for ALM with Azure API Manager. 
    For example...
    How do people have their DEV/TEST/PROD environment setup and how do you deploy changes?
    We are thinking about using the dev teir for our development and test environmnet and then the standard version for production. Are we on the right path?

    Hi Dan, you are definitely on the right path.
    Besides, below features might be useful to help you manage your environments:
    1. Management Rest API: this is useful if you want to manage your environment programmatically.

  • Azure API Management developer portal runtime error

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the Microsoft Azure API Management functionality just announced in the TechEd 2014 americas.
    I was able to create my namespace for Azure API Management in the Azure Mgmt Portal.
    But now, when I click on the Management Console or Developer Portal, I got a runtime error (ASP.Net Runtime Error).
    I tried from a PC where I'm not authenticated in Azure and it works until I reach the login page, and then I got this Runtime Error again and again.
    My subscription is a MSDN subscription.
    Any ideas or workarounds here?

    Hi,
    The problem still exists but it appears only when I'm authenticated.
    For example, I open the Windows Azure Management Portal with my admin account, goes to the API Management and click on the Management Console. I'm redirected to the https://middleway.portal.azure-api.net/admin URL and here I got a Runtime Error ASP.Net...
    Strange no?

  • Azure VPN and Disconnects

    Hi,
    I have several L2L VPN's to the Microsoft Azure cloud and I am see these randon disconnects once very hours or so, an dfrom the logs it looks like a what is a delete message that is sent from the other side. we dont have any timouts on our side, has anyone seen this type of issue, we have other L2L to other places and no issue there.
    Thanks

    We are experiencing the exact same issue you are describing.    If we keep an RDP session open, about every 57 minutes it disconnects briefly, then the VPN comes back online.   
    In the case we have open with Microsoft, they said to look at whats called Quick mode security association lifetime.    For Azure, its hard coded at an hour.      3600 seconds is what it needs to be on the Cisco side.   Apparently if it is set to more than this, Azure will disconnect.
    Here are our settings, however, which seem to indicate we have things set up as they suggest.
