Azure API Management Gateway - RBAC on the API level
Is it possible to grant access on specific APIs implementation, making users able to see some APIs but not others inside the same Azure API Management Gateway? For example: User1 can manage green ones, but not red ones. Thanks.mkg310Nov 22, 2024Copper Contributor36Views0likes3CommentsConnecting AIS (Logic Apps) to On-Prem resources
Hi, We're currently using an on-prem BizTalk ESB to leverage our integrations and I'm tasked with scoping the transition over to AIS. I've figured out the appropriate tooling required and what services we're likely to leverage within AIS, but there will be a strong dependency on on-prem connections (most of our services are maintained within internal SQL DB's and Network shares). I've done some further reading on the Azure Data Gateway, and can see that we connect our local SQL DB's to Logic Apps through it, but is it possible for the data gateway to poll/listen out for SQL data changes?

In collaboration withSofia Hubendick This how-to article explains the process of resubmitting a Logic App Standard from a specific action via API. If you want to resubmit the workflow from the beginning, you can use the Workflow Trigger Histories - Resubmit - REST APIinstead. Workflow Run Histories - Resubmit Authentication I used a managed identity for authentication, which simplifies the process by eliminating the need to obtain a token manually. Additionally, I implemented the new Logic App Standard Operator role. URL The URL for resubmitting an action looks like this: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/[subscriptionId]/resourceGroups/[resourceGroupName]/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/[logicAppName]/hostruntime/runtime/webhooks/workflow/api/management/workflows/[workflowName]/runs/[runId]/resubmit?api-version=2022-03-01 Mandatory URL Path Parameters Name Description subscriptionId The Azure subscription Id resourceGroupName The name of the resource group containing the Logic App logicAppName The name of the Logic App workflowName The name of the workflow runId The id of the workflow run to be resubmitted Request Body The API request body is structured as follows; replace the placeholder with the name of the action: { "actionsToResubmit": [ { "name": "[action name]" } ] } Response Name Description 202 Accepted OK Other Status Codes Error response describing why the operation failed.andevjenOct 14, 2024Copper Contributor301Views0likes0CommentsAzure API Management Issue while sending data from Azure APIM Console
Hi Team, I am doing an integration between Azure and Salesforce. So, I am sending a request from Azure(Logic Apps) to Salesforce(We have an API application and policy in Azure APIM) via our APIM HTTPS endpoint. What happens is that, the request works with Postman and Logic Apps, but when we try to run the same request in Azure API Management console of the policy, we are getting JSON parser error from Salesforce. The solution was working since last 6 months without any issue. Can anyone help me in getting it resolved? This stops us in debugging the policy in Azure APIM. Thanks, VigneshvigneshksekarSep 19, 2024Copper Contributor961Views0likes3CommentsIntegration with SuccessFactors
Hi Community We have SuccessFactors and we have four different Azure's. SuccessFactors can only connect to one of these (Its for SuccessFactors Recruitment Integration to Outlook) Does anyone know a way that I can connect the three other Azure's to our main company one, so that SuccessFactors can connect to our main one, then can see / post to Outlooks that exist on the other three?pallen330Sep 19, 2024Copper Contributor148Views0likes1CommentSemantic Kernel: Develop your AI Integrated Web App on Azure and .NET 8.0
How to create a Smart Career Advice and Job Search Engine with Semantic Kernel The concept The Rise of Semantic Kernel Semantic Kernel, an open-source development kit, has taken the .NET community by storm. With support for C#, Python, and Java, it seamlessly integrates with dotnet services and applications. But what makes it truly remarkable? Let’s dive into the details. A Perfect Match: Semantic Kernel and .NET Picture this: you’re building a web app, and you want to infuse it with AI magic. Enter Semantic Kernel. It’s like the secret sauce that binds your dotnet services and AI capabilities into a harmonious blend. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just dipping your toes into AI waters, Semantic Kernel simplifies the process. As part of the Semantic Kernel community, I’ve witnessed its evolution firsthand. The collaborative spirit, the shared knowledge—it’s electrifying! We’re not just building software; we’re shaping the future of AI-driven web applications. The Web App Our initial plan was simple: create a job recommendations engine. But Semantic Kernel had other ideas. It took us on an exhilarating ride. Now, our web application not only suggests career paths but also taps into third-party APIs to fetch relevant job listings. And that’s not all—it even crafts personalized skilling plans and preps candidates for interviews. Talk about exceeding expectations! Build Since i have already created the repository on GitHub i don’t think it is critical to re post Terraform files here. We are building our main Infrastructure with Terraform and also invoke an Azure Cli script to automate the Container Image build and push. We will have these resources at the end: Before deployment make sure to assign the Service Principal with the role “RBAC Administrator” and narrow down the assignments to AcrPull, AcrPush, so you can create a User Assigned Managed Identity with these roles. Since we are building and pushing the Container Images with local-exec and Az Cli scripts within Terraform you will notice some explicit dependencies, for us to make sure everything builds in order. It is really amazing the fact that we can build all the Infra including the Apps with Terraform ! Architecture Upon completion you will have a functioning React Web App with the ASP NET Core webapi, utilizing Semantic Kernel and an external Job Listings API, to get advice, find Jobs and get a Skilling Plan for a specific recommended role! The following is a reference Architecture. Aside the Private Endpoints the same deployment is available in GitHub. Kernel SDK The SDK provides a simple yet powerful array of commands to configure and “set” the Semantic Kernel characteristics. Let’s the first endpoint, where users ask for recommended career paths: [HttpPost("get-recommendations")] public async Task<IActionResult> GetRecommendations([FromBody] UserInput userInput) { _logger.LogInformation("Received user input: {Skills}, {Interests}, {Experience}", userInput.Skills, userInput.Interests, userInput.Experience); var query = $"I have the following skills: {userInput.Skills}. " + $"My interests are: {userInput.Interests}. " + $"My experience includes: {userInput.Experience}. " + "Based on this information, what career paths would you recommend for me?"; var history = new ChatHistory(); history.AddUserMessage(query); ChatMessageContent? result = await _chatCompletionService.GetChatMessageContentAsync(history); if (result == null) { _logger.LogError("Received null result from the chat completion service."); return StatusCode(500, "Error processing your request."); } string content = result.Content; _logger.LogInformation("Received content: {Content}", content); var recommendations = ParseRecommendations(content); _logger.LogInformation("Returning recommendations: {Count}", recommendations.Count); return Ok(new { recommendations }); The actual data flow is depicted below, and we can see the Interaction with the local Endpoints and the external endpoint as well. The user provides Skills, Interests, Experience and Level of current position and the API sends the Payload to Semantic kernel with a constructed prompt asking for positions recommendations. The recommendations return with clickable buttons, one to find relevant positions from LinkedIn listings using the external API, and another to ask again the Semantic Kernel for skill up advice! The UI experience : Recommendations: Skill Up Plan: Job Listings: The Project can be extended to a point of automation and AI Integration where users can upload their CVs and ask the Semantic Kernel to provide feedback as well as apply for a specific position! As we discussed earlier some additional optimizations are good to have, like the Private Endpoints, Azure Front Door and/or Azure Firewall, but the point is to see Semantic Kernel in action with it’s amazing capabilities especially when used within the .NET SDK. Important Note: This could have been a one shot deployment but we cannot add the custom domain with Terraform ( unless we use Azure DNS) and the Cors Settings. So we have to add these details for our Solution to function properly! Once the Terraform completes, add the Custom Domains to both Container Apps. The advantage here is that we will know the Frontend and Backend FQDNs, since we decide the Domain name, and the React Environment Value is preconfigured with the backend URL. Same for the Backend, we have set as Environment Value for the ALLOWED_ORIGINS, the frontend URL. So we can just go to Custom Domain on each App, and add the domain names after selecting the Certificate which will be already there, since we have uploaded it via Terraform! Lessons Learned This was a real adventure and i want to share with you important lessons learned and hopefully save you some time and effort. Prepare ahead with a Certificate. I was having problems from the get go with ASP NET refusing to build on Containers until i integrated the certificate. The local development works fine without it. Cross Origin is very important, do not underestimate it ! Configure it correctly and in this example i went directly to Custom Domains, so i can have better overall control. This solution worked both on Azure Web Apps and Azure Container Apps. The Git Hub repo has the Container Apps solution but you can go with Web Apps. Finally don’t waste you time to go with Dapr. React does not ‘react’ well with the Dapr Client and my lesson learned here is that Dapr is made for same framework invocation or you are going to need a middleware. Since we cannot create the Custom Domain with Terraform there are solutions we can use, like using AzApi, We utilized a small portion of what really Semantic Kernel can do and i stopped when i realized that this project will never end if i continue pursuing ideas ! It is much better to have it on GiHub and probably we can come back and add some more features ! Conclusion In this journey through the intersection of technology and career guidance, we’ve explored the powerful capabilities of Azure Container Apps and the transformative potential of Semantic Kernel, Microsoft’s open-source development kit. By seamlessly integrating AI into .NET applications, Semantic Kernel has not only simplified the development process but also opened new doors for innovation in career advice. Our adventure began with a simple idea—creating a job recommendations engine. However, with the help of Semantic Kernel, this idea evolved into a sophisticated web application that goes beyond recommendations. It connects to third-party APIs, crafts personalized skilling plans, and prepares candidates for interviews, demonstrating the true power of AI-driven solutions. By leveraging Terraform for infrastructure management and Azure CLI for automating container builds, we successfully deployed a robust architecture that includes a React Web App, ASP.NET Core web API, and integrated AI services. This project highlights the ease and efficiency of building and deploying cloud-based applications with modern tools. The code is available in GitHub for you to explore, contribute and extend as mush as you want to !
