Azure VM Web Servers, Cloud Service and SSL?

I am deploying two web servers in a cloud service for load balancing. I have tested and I have that working with no problems. My question is how do I setup for SSL? Do I setup a certificate on the cloud service? Do I setup on each server? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
You could use the following link to configure SSL for your Cloud Service:

Slow site, latency between cloud service and SQL Azure?

We have a web site that works pretty swiftly in a local development environment. But once deployed to Azure it slows down to a crawl (even for a single user). Some pages take 30-60 seconds to load. Even the simplest pages take between 5 and 10 seconds.
The app is rather data intensive, so the way I see it, there is a slow connection between the cloud service and the SQL node. We currently use S2 instance, the S1 and S0 didn't work at all because of timeouts. When we execute queries directly against the database,
they all return within milliseconds, so it is not a query performance issue. It seems that there is a big penalty on establishing the connection between the web node and SQL node.
I am not sure if this is a provisioning issue. At times it actually begins to work a bit faster. Not quite as fast in a local environment, but barely acceptable. But then it goes back to excruciatingly slow. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi Mimo,
Is this a 5-20second load time something that occurs every time you load the page or just on the first time you load it (cold start)? The default website settings might tear down your site after a period of inactivity and I'm wondering
if that might be what's causing the performance issues.
Couple of things you might want to check :
- Increase the Instance count
- Check the Monitor Tab in Azure Website to see how much of CPU, DataIN and Data Out time is taken for a request to the site.
Recommend you to see this thread discussion on Failed request tracing
for troubleshooting on Slow requests and a video on
Troubleshooting Slow Requests with Failed Request Tracing that might help troubleshoot the slowness of website.

How to enable diagnostics in cloud services and virtual machine

Hi All,
I need to enable diagnostics for cloud services and virtual machine in our
cloud environment. I referred the below link.
https://convective.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/using-azure-monitoring-services-api-with-azure-cloud-services/
Installed azure SDK 2.5 and cloud services instance is not displayed for cloud services in Visual studio 2013. Please provide the steps to enable at run time.
1) How to enable this diagnostics at run time.
2) How to enable event logs for cloud and Virtual machine
3) How to get the event log data's from REST API.
Please help to resolve this.
Thanks.

Restoring Deleted Cloud Service and its Deployments

Hi Everyone -
Is it possible to restore a cloud service together with all its deployments?
I accidentally deleted one of our environment and I was just wondering if it is possible to restore it.
Appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks
Frankie

Hi Frankie,
How did your delete the environment? If it is a VM and you choose the "keep the attached disks", then the disks on the VM would be kept on the storage account and you can use the disk to recreate a new VM. However, the data on the D:(temporary
driver) would be lost.
In addition, if you delete the cloud service, which option did you select? If you choose "Delete the cloud service and its deployments", then all the virtual machines will be deleted, along with the attached disks, their associated
VHD files, DNS name and VIP. In these scenario, it is impossible to restore them.

Help! Azure Cloud Services and Virtual Machine Web Servers Load Balancing

I have a cloud service. I have two virtual machines setup as web servers each with IIS installed. I have configured my domain registrar to point my domain name to the cloud service IP address. I also went into the endpoints of each virtual machine and verified
that I have http port 80 setup on both in a load balanced set.
I am unable to access websites on either server at this point. DNS propogation site shows "error: token mismatch"...this has been setup since yesterday and still error.
Can anyone assist me in where I went wrong? Am I confused to how the cloud service should work? I am assuming it will allow me to load balance the two virtual machines in the way I have configured above. Please help!!!!

Can an Azure VM Query Its Cloud Service Namd and Public IP Address

Is there some way to write a script or application that would run on an Azure VM and could query to find out the DNS Name (externally visible hostname) for the VM and the external/public IP address?
I started looking at Azure Extensions, but it looks like they're intended to be run from a management system somewhere, rather than being initiated by code on the Azure VM. Correct me please if this is wrong. I'm dead new to this area, never looked at Azure
until yesterday.
Thanks!

hi,
You could not directly query the cloud service name and public IP from one azure VM. Base on my experience, you may need add the service management API cert to your VM and call the Service Management APIs (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460799.aspx) to query the cloud service information.Please see this code sample about how to use apis (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/CSAzureManagementAPI-609fc31a

How do I configure Azure to let my cloud service make an outbound API call

My cloud service works locally when I debug it, but when I deploy it, I know it has database access because database updates are taking place.
It seems like the service is not able to call make calls to the Yammer API on port 443 for SSL (is that right?)
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages.xml?older_than=[MinMessageID]
That is one example, but all the calls start with everything up to

Coldfusion 11 Web Services and SSL Issue

Our company has two web services that we host that a vendor uses to grab information from on a periodic basis. These services ran fine on a CF8 SSL site, but once we switched to 11, the services can no longer be created. However, I can create them on our unsecured test site (which also is running CF 11) and access them externally without issue. When I try to create the webservice in the url, I just get a blank page back instead of the XML I should be getting. Is there something special I am missing that has to be done to create web services in a secure environment? The raw error message I get when trying to invoke the secure web service is below:

I've got this working on our dev and test servers. Now I'm trying to deploy it to production. We have an external prod server in a DMZ that calls the web service on our internal prod server. We only have port 443 open in the firewall between these two servers (not port 80). I am able to do a <cfhttp> call to the WSDL over 443 and get back the xml. However, if I make the web service call using <cfinvoke> I get the following error:

I am able to successfully call the same web service (on the internal prod server) using the same code from my internal dev server. However, when I look at my httpd logs on the internal prod server, I don't see the request in the ssl logs. It shows up in the access_log file as:
150.231.26.130 - - [03/Feb/2015:13:48:57 -0500] "POST /standard/date_function.cfc HTTP/1.1" 200 397 "-" "Axis2"
Any thoughts why this appears to still be coming through port 80?

RPC Style Web Service and SSL

Hi,
Has anyone tried (and maybe succeeded) in accessing an
RPC-style Web Service deployed on WebLogic Server 6.1 using
SSL? I have a Web Service deployed and am able to access it using JNDI and the
weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY. However, when I try to set the
Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL to "ssl" and access the secure port,
I get a "java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from
the server" error message.
Does the weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory not
support SSL? Do I need to do the SOAP/XML messaging myself,
without being able to make use of the WebLogic convenience
classes? Thanks! Rob

Alright!
Glad you got it working ;-)
Actually, the problem with the protocol being hardcoded to http in the wsdl.jsp,
is a bit strange. It's unusual that the BEA engineers that coded the wsgen component
and support classes, didn't use something like the following:
<soap:address location="<%= request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName()
+ ":" + request.getServerPort() %>/security/examples/webservices/security/PhoneBookService"/>
I don't use wsgen too much, because I need to have more control over the J2EE
packaging. It (wsgen) is great for spitting out stuff, but not really setup for
doing Web service packaging that use classes (i.e. helper files, frameworks, etc.)
that it doesn't generate. I think they (BEA) might be looking into integrating
the Web Services assembly process with other tools like WebGain, Forte, etc. to
alleviate these types of issues.
Anyway, glad you got it working, so now you can help somebody else (time permitting,
of course) with this topic in the future!

Mike,
Thank you very much for your response! The next to
last sentence did it for me (when you mentioned checking
that the location attribute of the soap:address element
was set properly)! I noticed that when I viewed the WSDL
file via the browser (by clicking on the link in the
index.html page), I saw http://host:<unsecure_port> when
I requested it over the unsecure port, but I saw
http://host:<secure_port> when I requested the WSDL over
the secure port. Notice it did not say https!
So, I unjarred the EAR file that was generated by my
wsgen task, and then unjarred the generated WAR file
contained therein. When I looked at wsdl.jsp, I noticed
that "http" was hard-coded in the location attribute, but
that the host name and port number were dynamically
generated. So I added a scriplet to dynamically place an
"s" after "http" (if request.isSecure()) and rejarred up
the WAR and EAR files.
Now when I deployed the EAR file, I see "https" when
I request the WSDL over the secure port, and my client
(actually your client;) works! Awesome! I really appreciate
your help! Now my only issue is why did the wsdl.jsp have
"http" hard-coded, not accounting for secure requests.
These files were generated by the WSGEN task in ANT.
I figure it's either: I have a configuration problem,
I have a problem with my ANT build script, my version of
WebLogic Server (6.1 w/SP1 built 9/18/2001) has a bug, or
maybe you just have to manually go in and modify the wsdl.jsp
file if you want to use https :(. Please let me know if
you have any insight on this, and I will also follow up
with WebLogic support. Thanks again! Rob
"Michael Wooten" <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Rob,
I am absolutely sure the code I posted works, so we need to approach
this from
a different angle ;-)
First, I know why the Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL approach doesn't works.
It's because
the namespace in the Web Services code examples is not the same oneas
the one
used for RMI objects, EJBs, JDBC Data Sources, etc. For those objects,
the Context.PROVIDER_URL
is something like "t3://localhost:7001", and the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY
is "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory".
The one being used with WebLogic Web Services, is mainly just functioning
as a
mechanism for manufacturing WebServiceProxy objects, because it is a
non-instanciable!
It does this by using a subclass of javax.naming.Context called SOAPContext,
which
is completely hidden from you, but also doesn't do much except implement
the lookup()
method. The implementation of this method ignores the Context.SECURITY_URL
property,
but it does pay attention to the "java.naming.security.principal" and
"java.naming.security.credentials"
properties. You don't need these properties for SSL, just Basic Authentication.
Enough about that, though. The service end-point is a servlet right?
So this means
it has a URL that begins with http or https, which in turn means the
WebLogic
servlet engine gets the SOAP request and sends it to the StatelessSessionAdapter
servlet. To WLS, this is just like any other HTTP/HTTPS request sent
to it ;-)
There is no special "SOAP-related" HTTP/HTTPS handler in WLS, but the
SSL challenge
dance still happens. So my first question is, are you sure you havethe
HTTPS
attributes set properly in the WebLogic console. SSL/HTTPS should be
enabled and
the "Hostname Verification Ignored" checkbox should be checked. Next,
are you
sure the URL assigned to the location attribute of the <service> element
in the
WSDL is correct (i.e. https://localhost:7002)? Are you using the "dynamic
client"
approach?

Mike,
Thanks for your response. I downloaded the code example that
you
posted
last week, as well as the code example that you posted in October for
a similar
request (BEA Support pointed me towards that). Unfortunately, I still
can't get
the Web Service to respond to the client request when the client uses
the HTTPS
port for the WebLogic Server.
I tried two different client approaches. The first uses the client
code
that you posted in October, the WebServiceProxy approach. The second
approach
is based on the example in the WebLogic documentation, which uses the
weblogic.soap.SoapInitialContextFactory
class with the javax.naming.Context object to perform a lookup on the
service
(which closely resembles rmi without the narrowing).
Both client classes fail to invoke the the service itself viaHTTPS
(although
they both work when making HTTP requests to the unsecure port). However,
when
I run the client based on the client class that you posted in October
and make
an HTTPS request, I can see in the output where it is able to download
the WSDL
file and use it (via the WebServiceProxy) to describe the availablemethods
for
the associated Web Service. It is only when the actual invoke() method
is called
on the SoapMethod object (which in turn sends the XML request to the
Web Service
Servlet), that the server doesn't respond, and the client fails with
an UnexpectedEndOfFileException
(i.e. no response).
So, do you know why the servlet that the RPC-style Web Serviceuses
to handle
requests would not respond to HTTPS requests, when it processes HTTP
requests
without a problem (using the same client code that fails with the HTTPS
request)?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 w/SP1 on a Solaris 8 platform. Thanks
for any
advice you can give me! Rob

Storage for web apps/cloud services in multiple datacenters

Hi all;
We're setting up our system so we have stage & production in a U.S. datacenter and production is EU & S/Pore datacenters. In this case do we have to have a distinctly named storage account for each of these locations?
And if we do have a distinct storage account for each datacenter, what is the downside to Locally Redundant Storage? If the datacenter goes down yes the storage is unavailable. But the web & cloud servers that hit it are down too so is there and negative?
thanks - dave
What we did for the last 6 months -
Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

Hi dave,
>>In this case do we have to have a distinctly named storage account for each of these locations?
You could use one storage account, but you may need spend on the data transfer across data center, see the price page:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/data-transfers/ . I suggest you can use different storage account for different locations.
>>And if we do have a distinct storage account for each datacenter, what is the downside to Locally Redundant >>Storage? If the datacenter goes down yes the storage is unavailable. But the web & cloud servers that hit it are >>down
too so is there and negative?
For this issue, Locally redundant storage stores multiple copies of your data synchronously within a region for durability. But all copies is in one region. In other words, LRS could replicated the data copied in one data center. If the datacenter
or storage is unavailable, I think it may be downgrade the performance. If you are worry about Azure storage data, I suggest you could consider the geo replication. GRS's secondary locations is in other datacenters.( see this blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2013/12/04/introducing-read-access-geo-replicated-storage-ra-grs-for-windows-azure-storage.aspx#_Locally_Redundant_Storage ).
Also, Azure guarantee storage read/write at least 99.9% of the time,we will successfully process requests to handle data from Locally Redundant Storage (LRS), Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS), and Geo Redundant Storage (GRS) Accounts and Read Access-Geo
Redundant Storage (RA-GRS). Please see this (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ ).
