Integrating a PHP Web App with an Existing Azure Mobile Services and Mobile App

I've got an existing mobile app that is integrated with Azure's mobile services. The mobile services are currently connected to Azure Active Directory with MFA enabled. I'd like to build a separate PHP-based web application (Azure VM) that uses this existing
mobile service and authentication.
I reviewed the Azure PHP SDK, but didn't see any tie-ins to the Mobile Service. Additionally, Azure has some great tutorials, but for mobile services they all seem to focus on iOS, Android, and Windows phone. Any insight into how to tie a PHP-app into this
backend would be much appreciated!

Although there isn't any client library for PHP, you can still access Mobile Service using the
Azure Mobile Service REST API.

How to Use Mobile Service in HTML/JavaScript Application

The Windows Azure Mobile Service is a back end tool for mobile applications. It supports various platforms, such as Windows Store, Windows Phone 8, iOS and Android. The Windows Azure
Mobile service can also support HTML/JavaScript. This article helps you to get a basic idea of how to use the Windows Azure Mobile Service in HTML/JavaScript applications.
Let us start with a Quick startup project provided by Microsoft. A Quick startup is a simple demo project that can help us to understand how to use the Windows Azure Mobile Service with HTML/JavaScript. So let's start from the Quick startup project.
Login into in the Windows Azure portal and use the following procedure.
This article assumes you already have a Windows Azure account and the mobile service is enabled in your account.
1. Create a new Windows Azure Mobile Service
Click on the +New button from the left corner and select Compute -> Mobile Service and then click on the "Create" button.
The Windows Azure portal popup creates a mobile service wizard when you click the Create button. Windows Azure asks you to enter the mobile service name as shown in the following image:
Select the database options and region for your mobile service and click on the "Next" button.
Once your mobile service is successfully created, the portal will show all your mobile services as shown in the following images.
Ok! We have created a new mobile service successfully. Let's move to our subsequent steps.
1. Quick startup Project
As we all know, the Windows Azure Mobile Service can support many platforms such as Windows Store, Windows Phone 8, iOS, Android and HTML/JavaScript. This article only tells us about the new HTML/JavaScript platform that is recently added to the Windows Azure
Mobile Service.
In the image above, we are in the quick startup page where the Windows Azure Mobile Service allows the user to choose their platform. I have selected the HTML/JavaScript Platform.
In the image above, we found 3 quick steps that can allow us to run <g class="gr_ gr_74 gr-alert gr_gramm Grammar" data-gr-id="74" id="74">a HTML/JavaScript</g> sample project.
1. Create Table: In this step the user needs to create a table that can used by the sample project, once you hit the create TodoItem Table button. The Portal will create a TodoItem table in your mobile service. You
can check this table by clicking on the data tab(menu).
2. Download and run your app: In this step the user needs to download the Quick startup project that is provided by the Windows Azure portal. Click on the "Download" button and download the project. You will
see the following files in the quick startup project.
The Server folder contains some files to setup this project locally. The user should run the file from the server folder corresponding to their OS. I am using Windows OS so I ran the <g class="gr_ gr_80 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace"
data-gr-id="80" id="80">lanch</g>-<g class="gr_ gr_79 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="79" id="79">windwos</g> file to setup this project locally in
IISExpress.
Press r and enter the key, you will see IISExpress started. Do not close this Windows and open your browser and request the http://localhost:8000/ page.
Enter the Item name and click on the add button. Your Item will be added to the TodoItem table.
3. Configure your host name: This step is a very important step for any HTML/JavaScript application that uses the Windows Azure Mobile Service. In this <g class="gr_ gr_83 gr-alert gr_gramm Punctuation only-ins
replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="83" id="83">step</g> the user must register their website name in the Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). By default, "localhost" is added by the Windows Azure Mobile Service
so your quick startup project can run without making any CORS setting changes. The user can add their website domain name by clicking on the configure tab (menu).
The user can add as many website domain names as needed.

are you asking a question or did you just post a tutorial here? you might want to post it as a blog post or wiki entry instead.

How to delete a file in blod storage using mobile service

This
link shows how to add a file using windows phone 8 mobile service. I would like to know how I can delete the file once it is stored in the blob storage. I have typed following codes by using existing resource name and image url after the file has been successfully
uploaded and although I do not receive any errors, the file does not get deleted in the storage either:
CloudBlockBlob blobFromSASCredential =container.GetBlockBlobReference(todoItem.ResourceName);
await blobFromSASCredential.DeleteAsync();
Can anyone help? I am using 3.0.2.0 Thank you.

Hi,
If use above code to delete other blob file, does it success? see more:
how to delete azure blob storage , please consider this factor, Storage Emulator 2.2 is currently incompatible with Storage Client Library 3.0.0.0. This has been mentioned in Storage Team Blob as well:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2013/11/27/windows-azure-storage-release-introducing-cors-json-minute-metrics-and-more.aspx (Please read "Storage Emulator Guidance" section towards the end of the post). and there is a
beta version of the next storage emulator available that does work with v3 of the storage API dlls: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/01/27/windows-azure-storage-emulator-2-2-1-preview-release-with-support-for-2013-08-15-version.aspx .

I have an iphone 3G 16GB 4.2.1 - i moved back to canada and got telus mobile service. they cant get phone working because cellular data network tab/button is not on my phone. How do i get it on there

OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe. I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen.

Cannot connect to Azure Mobile Services as DataSource

I've created an Azure Mobile Service which is using .NET backend.
Project Siena isn't able to connect or work against this kind of data source.
Error message is
An error occurred connecting to Azure Mobile Service
I have also tried to create zz_config support table, and implement a custom TableController for serving the URI
tables/zz_config but I could only got few steps further, still without the possibility to read and use the model exposed by Mobile Services
This behavior has been reproduced with both Beta 2 and Beta 3
P.S. Adding the AMS as REST data source makes possible to import and use the model exposed. The operation of association in this case must be done per-table in Siena
Wheb can we expect Siena to work well together with the new version of Azure Mobile Services?

Yes, that article is indeed precise and updated. I followed all steps described properly, especially for the part about setting up the database structure, and create
zz_config table (second post of the series)
I can connect to AMS (JS Backend) with Siena, but tables' names aren't showing up correctly, but display as
undefined, and from there on doesn't work properly.
JSON object returned from GET /tables/zz_config?$filter=(Key%20eq%20'table')
"id": "ccb9c9a8-9bae-41c8-87aa-277e2e0d1379",
"key": "table",
"value": "users"
I do confirm I have the same (incorrect) behavior using a .NET Backend where I set up
zz_config table and create a TableController mapped with it; with route
tables/zz_config
I confirm also I had the same behavior this morning with Beta 2, before I installed Beta 3.
P.S. The error message reported in my first post is returned only when the table
zz_config isn't setup correctly on AMS

Installing Mobility Service 2.0

So I download the iso. When I get to the point in install where it says "select Local ISO image and click next" the ISO will not load. Screen locks up. System is running Server 11 sp1. Help.

Yes, GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0 is only supported on SLES11 SP2 &
SP3 and not SLES11 SP1 as mentioned in the original post.
I seem to recall a bug within YaST on a previous version of SLES
relating to selecting an ISO although I'm sure that's not the reason why
SLES11 SP1 isn't supported - that's to do with SLES11 SP1 no longer
being supported by SUSE (and SLES11 SP2 also soon won't be supported).
HTH.

Apple mobile service doesn't work

hi,
from some reason when I plug my iphone 6 to my computer, I get this message-"Apple mobile device service could not be started because an unknown error occurred (1058)".and then I get a follow up message-"this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started".
I followed the orders in the website how to start the apple mobile service, but I get this message-"the apple mobile device service on local computer started and then stopped.some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".
I tried again and again to start the apple mobile service but it's just stop in the middle and I get this message. I reinstalled itunes twice but it's still doesn't work.
please help me I'm desperate!

Hey oommeerr,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone not being seen in iTunes because of the Apple Mobile Device not working. When you reinstalled iTunes, did you uninstall iTunes first? Take a look at the article below and uninstall iTunes and its associating software in the order that it lists and then reinstall iTunes. Let me know if this works out for you.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

SQL connection errors when stress testing mobile service: SQL failure after 3 attempts

I have created a Mobile Service (node.js), which has been running for a few months with 50-100k api calls per day with no issues.
The usage of the service will be scaled up soon, and it will receive much higher traffic, so I am running stress tests (on a staging deployment of the same service).
The api in question queries data from the sql database that is attached to the mobile service, but caches the resulting data in a redis database for 5 minutes, so each call with identical parameters will not access the SQL database, just the redis cache.
My first test never has any problems:
Run a single api calls as fast as possible using the program wrk (https://github.com/wg/wrk). This test never has a problem, and I have run it an hour continuously with a sustained rate of 200 req/s and very few timeout errors.
The second test always causes problems:
I created a list of 5 different api calls to the same service (same endpoint, but different parameters), and I run those randomly interweaved as fast as possible. I use the program locust (http://locust.io) for this, spawing 10.000 clients at a rate of 500
per second. For the first few seconds everything goes ok, but then connections start failing massively.
I get mostly:
Error: SQL failure after 3 attempts. Error: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]TCP Provider: 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.
(SqlState: 08001, Code: 10060)
And I see this in the http response:
ConnectionError(ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', gaierror(8, 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known')),)
The strange thing is that since I am running the same five calls repeatedly, only the very first of each call will actually access the sql database, every subsequent call will just return data directly from redis, and not try to access the sql database at
all.
In the azure console for the sql database in question, I see 1860 successful connections and 11 failed connections, which does not explain the massive failure rate I am seeing.

Thanks for sharing your tips on this forum, as it will be useful for other users, that run into this issue.
Feedback like this will also help us improve error reporting in the next release, as missing class files in the packaged application is a common issue when developers are moving from the embeded oc4j instance packaged with JDewveloper to standalone instances.

Very slow first Mobile Service call after one minute incativity

My mobile service api (basic tire) response about 30 sec delay for the first call. The subsequent calls are fine but the first call even sometimes times out. Which is totally unacceptable. The worse is that after one minutes inactivity it stars again.
It uses SQL Server (Standard tire) which is the culprit I guess. Because if I do a manual db query before
the time lag of the api call disappear. I set up automated api calls requesting db quires in about every minutes but did not helped. Looks like they are screened.
What should I do until I have enough customers to get an api call every minutes?
It's a quite important issue because due to the bad user experience the app will never have enough customers.

I have done a lot of testing to gain more accurate data about the case. It's quite time consuming because I have to wait some minutes after each testing. I focused this time only one of my stored procedure and measured it from the app, from browser and from
VS SQL Server and turned out I was wrong there is a similar significant time lag from all method and if I wait enough about half an hour in all method the stored procedure call will time out. Thus, the underlying issue is probably in SQL Server.
The VS SQL Server provides the following error massage:
Msg 4083, Level 16, State 1, Procedure likingProbability, Line 51
The connection was recovered and rowcount in the first query is not available. Please execute another query to get a valid rowcount.
The actual rowcount in the code:
SELECT @howGood = howGood FROM goodforme.Scans WHERE itemId = @itemId AND userId = @userId
IF (@@ROWCOUNT > 0 AND (@howGood = @MAX_RATE OR @howGood = @MIN_RATE))
BEGIN
SET @howGoodPrediction = @howGood
RETURN
END
For me it looks like the rowcount should be valid.
In the second call the response is valid but with huge delay like 20 sec, but in the subsequent calls it's linearly reduced to about 1 sec. And if the next call happens about 30 sec later the response will have increase again to about 10 sec time lag and so
on. Thank you for helping to solve the issue.

Azure AAD Mobile Service Authentication with corporate accounts fails.

I have been having on-going issue with Authenticating against a Windows Azure mobile service with corporate accounts.
Here is the complete environment.
Initially we set up with Office 365 / CRM Online / and Azure for our corporate infrastructure. We have set up single sign on. Everything works well. There is ADFS set up and running to allow us to Authenticate with {username}@{companyDomainName} and everything
works, including single signon.
Along comes Azure Active directory. We have an Automatically created Azure active directory in the corporate azure account. The domain is the default created {accountname}.onmicrosoft.com domain structure. This is set as the Default directory.
We had a consultant come in, who was organized through Microsoft, to do some work. After everything was set and done we ended up with another active directory created in Azure that is named with the corporate domain name. This second domain has had all of
the corporate accounts synched to it.
I have now created an Azure Mobile Service. The service is a basic service, I haven't updated any of the code yet, except to publish the service. I have followed all of the configuration instructions for setting up the authentication.
If configure the Authentication to point at the first active directory, I am able to Authenticate against the service using the credentials for a user that has been created in that domain. The Authentication works correctly, and goes through.
However if I switch the configuration to use the second Active Directory, the one with the corporate accounts synched to it, the authentication fails. I am able to enter my corporate email address into the web page that is presented. Then the web control
started to call into the ADFS in order to authenticate the corporate user name and password. At this point the authentication fails with a message about the service not being available.
The login code is the standard:
user = await App.MobileService.LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.WindowsAzureActiveDirectory);
The project is a Universal Application as the service needs to be available from both a phone and a desktop. The project was started from the starter project downloaded form the Mobile Service site.
# Update
I've just switched the mobile service configuration back to use the AAD with the corporate accounts synchronized. The login through the application fails. However if I log in through IE by browsing to : https://{ServiceName}.azure-mobile.net/login/aad
The authentication goes through correctly.

A few questions on the details:
What client platform are you using for login. In particular, is this a Windows Store application?
What do you mean exactly by "authentication fails?" Does an error get thrown, or does the UI just hang?
Is this being done from a domain-joined machine and/or on a machine connected to a corporate network?
We have seen an issue where some configurations of ADFS will not play nicely with Windows Store apps since the Web Authentication Broker (WAB) is based on the IE browser, and ADFS will attempt to do SSO in the special IE way instead of presenting a form,
etc. Unless the WAB is configured to handle this scenario, you will get a non-responsive UI.
Any details you can provide would be helpful.

Authentication using Mobile Service

I added mobile service to my mvc web project using nuget(1.3.1).I also registered mobile service in azure portal and linked with facebook.Now my problem is that when i tried loginasync method ,it asking for token and provider name and i could not get the
extension method(Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Ext ) where it asks for only provider name? Is this an issue with nuget? Also I would like to know from where we get the token?

Where are my mobile service and database tables? They're missing from the Portal.

I've been using Azure for a couple of months. I just logged in and my mobile service is missing. And while my SQL database is still there, all the tables I created are gone. I received no email about them being removed and there's no log on the site that
indicates anything happened to them. My website also is there and appears to be working fine. I had a lot invested in the tables and mobile service. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?

How to upload image in windows azure mobile service from android?

I am new in android I am using windows azure mobile service and I am Inserting Text data successfully but now I want to Upload Image in windows azure mobile service. I know its is possible by Azure Storage I have seen this chrisrisner post but
its confusing can anyone tell me simple step by step process to save image in windows azure mobile service.
I will be Very Grateful for you. its very urgent

Hello Nitesh,
Saving an image into Azure Mobile Services doesn't scale very well and it's not recommended. It's recommended to use Azure Blob Storage for blob storage. It's cheaper and can store larger files.
You can definitely use both Azure Mobile Services and Blob Storage together by saving the name of the image in your Mobile Services table and storing the actual file in the Blob storage. This way when you need to retrieve the actual image, you would retrieve
it by it's name from Blob storage.
Here's a MSDN article that explains how to use
Azure Blob Storage.
Let me know if this helps.
