Azure Static Web App CI/CD
Hi everyone! I know this is a silly question, but I want to ask why, after connecting my Azure Static Web App to my GitHub and it would connect the Git Workflow, the commit would fail. Although, I haven't finished setting up some other resources yet, and I just connected my StatWebApp URL to my Azure Maps, there are other resources that I still need to deploy, and I still need to properly wire the backend to my Azure AI Services. Thanks in advance!
Azure passowrd protection
We have a hybrid Azure infrastructure with an AD Connector installed on-prem and configured for PTA. We installed the password protection server and registered it with the Azure tenant, then deployed the DC agent on all domain controllers. Both the proxy and agents are operational. We published a few banned words to block in case anyone uses them. For testing, I changed my password to include one of the banned words. To my surprise, I was able to change the password. I checked the corresponding logon server, and the DC event viewer showed that the password was validated, but the banned word was in the password list that Azure set to enforce. Why is it not blocking the change?
How to troubleshoot if a cookie is being sent to application gateway with each and every request
I have a rule on WAF policy associated with application gateway with a rule (set as topmost rule) to allow traffic if a particular cookie is sent with the request. But we are seeing some requests that are not hitting that rule and instead hitting different rule and thus getting blocked. My thinking is that the cookie is not being sent by the application in that request, although the developer says that it should be sent with each request. How can I log enough detail on application gateway to see if a cookie was really sent with the request that was blocked or not.
I passed the GH‑900: GitHub Foundations exam!
Hi everyone, I’m excited to share that I cleared the GH‑900 (GitHub Foundations) exam with a good score! This certification validates my understanding of Git, repository collaboration, pull requests, and GitHub’s core features. Preparation Approach: I studied using Microsoft Learn resources and the GH‑900 study guide. For extra practice and exam-style questions, I used dumps-4-azure — it really gave me the extra edge for exam readiness. I also practiced hands-on with real GitHub workflows (branches, pull requests, projects) to reinforce my understanding. Key Takeaways: The exam tests foundational Git + GitHub collaboration skills — not just theory. Practical experience combined with mock questions made a big difference. Consistency in daily preparation is the key. Next Steps: After GH‑900, I’m planning to go for GH‑100 (GitHub Administration) to deepen my GitHub skills at the organizational level.
Azure File copy task v4 and later causes 403 error
I've configured a release pipeline in ADO which copies some files to a Storage Account. Using Azure File copy task version 6 consistently fails with a 403 error. RESPONSE Status: 403 This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission. After much wasted time checking IP restrictions, checking access and recreating service connections I tried using an earlier version of the task that some other pipelines which do the same thing were using. I found that using version 4 or later of the file copy task causes the issue. Setting the task version to 3 works. Are there any known issues around this?The November Innovation Challenge Winning Teams!
We run the Innovation Challenge program because we believe the only way we can have the best AI platform for every person and every organization is by having a truly diverse and highly skilled community of developers building AI solutions on Azure. We run the Innovation Challenge program because we are geeks who love a good hackathon. We run the Innovation Challenge program because we get blown away by what our community can do.

I have created a custom rule to allow traffic based on the Geo Location. The rule was designed to check the location of the actual client IP coming in the Request Header and deny if it is from non-UK region. This rule blocked genuine request from UK region since the client IP was an IPv6 address. WAF custom rule has a limitation of processing IPv6 address. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/ipv6-application-gateway-portal#limitations Need this feature of processing IPv6 address in WAF custom rule.Azure 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.
