Where is the key in new Azure App service?

问题

While using the classic Azure Mobile services, you used to get a key along with a URL for your Mobile Service app. This key was also used to explore the APIs on your backend site & was used as a password.

With new Azure App services all you need to instntiate the mobile service client is the URL like below

private static readonly MobileServiceClient MobileService = new MobileServiceClient("https://thecityapp.club");

There is no key *a second parameter that was available with Azure Mobile services. What is now used as password to explore the APIs on the web?

回答1:

Supreet,

With App Services/Mobile Apps, the application key is no longer used/required, that is why it is no longer available on the portal. You can instantiate the client with the above code and start consuming the service APIs without that information.

For authentication, please refer to this documentation: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-windows-store-dotnet-get-started-users/

I hope this helps.

You can implement Application Key for Azure Mobile App if you want.

You can set an application key for your Azure Mobile App like Azure Mobile Services.

1. Open Application Settings on Azure Mobile Application

2. Scroll down to App Settings Add these two lines.

| zumo-api-key | TYPE YOUR API KEY |

| MS_SkipVersionCheck | True |

3. Then click Save

4. Open App Service Editor

5. Create a file on your main folder wwwroot

6. Name your file as validateApiKey.js

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Copyright (c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

module.exports = function (req, res, next) {
// Validate zumo-api-key header against environment variable.
// The header could also be validated against config setting, etc
var apiKey = process.env['zumo-api-key'];

if (apiKey && req.get('zumo-api-key') != apiKey)
    return res.status(401).send('This operation requires a valid api key');
else
    return next();
}

6. Update your API script as,

[sampleAPI.js]

var validateApiKey = require('../validateApiKey');
module.exports = {
    "get": [validateApiKey, function(request, response, next)
    {
        response.send(
        {
            message: "post"
        });
    }],
    "post": [validateApiKey, function(request, response, next)
    {
        response.send(
        {
            message: "post"
        });
    }]
};

[sampleAPI.json]

{
  "get": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "post": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "put": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "patch": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "delete": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  }
}

Do not forget to change permissions to "Anonymous"

6. Update your Table script as,

[sampleTable.js]

var azureMobileApps = require('azure-mobile-apps'),
    validateApiKey = require('../validateApiKey');

// Create a new table definition
var table = azureMobileApps.table();

// Access should be anonymous so that unauthenticated users are not rejected
// before our custom validateApiKey middleware runs.
table.access = 'anonymous';

// validate api key header prior to execution of any table operation
    table.use(validateApiKey, table.execute);
// to require api key authentication for only one operation (in this case insert)
// instead of table.use(validateApiKey, table.execute) use:
// table.insert.use(validateApiKey, table.operation);

module.exports = table;

[sampleTable.json]

{
  "softDelete" : true,
  "autoIncrement": false,
  "insert": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "update": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "delete": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "read": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  },
  "undelete": {
    "access": "anonymous"
  }
}

Do not forget to change permissions to "Anonymous"

7. Done!

Do not forget to add header while calling Azure Mobile/Web App.
