Restoring a user to Azure API Management instance who had registered using Azure B2C
I am trying to restore a Azure API Management user account that I had backed up and has identity.provider and intentity.id backed up. When I restore this user using the ARM endpoint using URI similar to one below, the user gets restored but has both "AadB2c" and "Basic" as the auth type:- "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/${resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/${apimName}/users/${userId}?api-version=2024-05-01" Why is Basic being added as the value because the backup had "AadB2c" as the Auth Type? And is there a way to avoid that and only have "AadB2C" as the Auth type.curious7Jun 03, 2026Brass Contributor17Views0likes1CommentRemote debug options for Linux container on App Services
We run .Net hosted on Linux Docker containers running in App Service. This makes debugging very difficult as while there is an option for remote debugging, this is only for Windows containers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/remote-debugging-azure-app-service?view=visualstudio The only option I can find for Linux is the one detailed in the link below from 2018 which involves running an SSH server in the Docker container and using an extension which doesn't seem to have a stable version. az extension add --name webapp az : WARNING: No stable version of 'webapp' to install. Preview versions allowed. https://azure.github.io/AppService/2018/05/07/New-SSH-Experience-and-Remote-Debugging-for-Linux-Web-Apps.html Are there any currently supported options for remote debugging in Linux containers? Are there any plans to introduce the remote debug feature for Linux App Services?LouisTMay 28, 2026Copper Contributor70Views0likes2CommentsAzure Managed Identity randomly returns 403 and then self-recovers
Our production apps intermittently lose Key Vault access via Managed Identity for a few minutes, then recover automatically without any config, RBAC, or deployment changes. Everything appears healthy from Azure’s side, which makes root cause analysis extremely difficult. Has anyone else seen this behavior?DravidanMay 26, 2026Copper Contributor28Views0likes1CommentPDF generation in Azure App Service

I recently started exploring Microsoft Azure training and certifications, and I can clearly see how valuable they are for building cloud skills and growing a career in technology. Azure certifications help professionals learn real-world cloud concepts, improve technical knowledge, and stay updated with technologies like AI, Security, DevOps, and Data Engineering. Some of the most popular certifications are: AZ-900 – Azure Fundamentals AZ-104 – Azure Administrator AZ-204 – Azure Developer AZ-500 – Azure Security Engineer Microsoft Learn also provides free learning paths and hands-on content, which makes it easier for beginners and experienced professionals to learn at their own pace.DravidanMay 26, 2026Copper Contributor21Views1like0CommentsIs there no way to get better support for Azure - esp for SEV A tickets
We have had a sev A ticket open for over 5 days, and are incurring thousands in losses every day, and despite assurances from the Azure Support that it is being solved in hours and then having confirmations that it is solved, the issue is still not solved. I have asked numerous times to get our teams in touch with actual microsoft employees, not front end contractors, who is more like level 1 support, and just running messages between customer and back end team, and really are powerless to handle any suport issues themselves, and they are on complete mercy of "other teams" yet as a customer, apparantly we cant even get on a call with these other teams, and the poor front end contractors are getting the brunt of our pain. Absolutely are in the dark, as to what is actually happening in the back end, other than "trust me bro" we are working on it. No eta, no explanation.. hard to fathom how this can go on like thisImranRanaMay 26, 2026Copper Contributor117Views1like4CommentsAzure support team not responding to support request
I am posting here because I have not received a response to my support request despite my plan stating that I should hear back within 8 hours. It has now gone a day beyond that limit, and I am still waiting for assistance with this urgent matter. This issue is critical for my operations, and the delay is unacceptable. The ticket/reference number for my original support request was 2410100040000309. And I have created a brand new service request with ID 2412160040010160. I need this addressed immediately._Adrian_May 22, 2026Copper Contributor943Views2likes10CommentsDevOps Wiki: How to enable download of attachment
Hello, I do have a git based wiki in ADO with the following structure: | ---- REAGME.md | ---- .attachments | ---- config.xml Within README.md I want to reference config.xml in a way that: 1. enforces the file to be downloaded and not opened 2. ensures a meaningful file name proposal for the download For "common" markdown this would be something like: ... [Config](./.attachments/config.xml?download=true&name=config.xml) ... unfortunately ADO performs some URL-encoding to this relative link and tries to find a file named: - ./attachments/config.xml%3Fdownload%3Dtrue%26name%3Dconfig.xml This file cannot be found (why should it, such a file does not exist) My questions are: 1. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to make the attachment downloadable 2. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to define the attachments name Exclusion: - The answer "Use an absolute link like https://..../" is not an option as no-one will ever be able to maintain this across multiple branches Thank you in advance 😉haratsuMay 18, 2026Copper Contributor3.6KViews0likes3CommentsAzure Artifact Signing: SignTool "Access is denied" with active Public Trust profile

I have a Standard V2 APIM instance and a storage account that has public access disabled but allows traffic from the Integration subnet of the APIM and the "Microsoft.ApiManagement/Service" resource type and the specific instance of APIM allowed access. It also has the "Allow trusted MIcrosoft Services to access this resource" selected. Integration subnet of APIM has the "Microsoft.Storage" service connection configured. I am following this MS KB to setup the backup:- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-disaster-recovery-backup-restore?tabs=powershell#back-up-an-api-management-service And using the "Access using managed identity" method. The Service principal that I am using in Powershell & Managed Identity of APIM has been given the "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role on the storage account. When I run the following 2 commands from a VM in the same VNET as the APIM Instance I get error: "Backup-AzApiManagement : Long running operation failed with status 'BadRequest'." $storageContext = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName Backup-AzApiManagement -ResourceGroupName $apiManagementResourceGroup -Name $apiManagementName -StorageContext $storageContext -TargetContainerName $containerName -TargetBlobName $blobName -AccessType "SystemAssignedManagedIdentity" Storage logs seems to indicate that it successfully does the "putblob" operation and within few milliseconds does the "DeleteBlob" operation. APIM activity logs have the following error for "Backup API Management Service":- "message": "Unable to backup API service at this time. Please, retry the operation.If the issue persists, please contact support providing correlation ID How can I troubleshoot this further or what needs to change in my setup to allow the backup?Solvedcurious7May 15, 2026Brass Contributor63Views0likes2Comments
