SAS Keys
- Create SAS Token on BLOB
az storage blob generate-sas \ --account-name Storage-Account-Name \ --account-key xyz...== \ --container-name Container-Name \ --name file-Name \ --permissions acdrw \ --expiry 2021-01-18
- Test
https://<StorageAccount-Name>.blob.core.windows.net/<Container-Name>/<FileName>?xyz...==
- Create SAS Token on Container
Important: You need to add yourself to the role Storage Blob Data Contributor, it will
'''NOT WORK'''
if you skip this step, for mor informattion see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-auth-aad-rbac-portal
az storage container generate-sas --account-name Storage-Account-Name --name Container-Name --permissions acdlrw --expiry 2021-01-20 --auth-mode login --as-user
- Valid return looks like:
"se=2021-01-20&sp=racwdl&sv=2018-11-09&sr=c&skoid=139be1d7-4d53-4d8a-90e2-cc7ace745ad1&sktid=71d4c841-93b3-47b4-ab47-88c7d11f56d2&skt=2021-01-16T19%3A37%3A54Z&ske=2021-01-20T00%3A00%3A00Z&sks=b&skv=2018-11-09&sig=LMhhiOrZoEQPxgaemkKOZ2eY8W6Ee4ZE5zEWZu2y4Js%3D"
Note that the key MUST contain ske and sig , otherwise the key is INVALID
az storage container generate-sas \ --account-name Storage-Account-Name \ --name Container-Name \ --permissions acdlrw \ --expiry 2021-01-20 \ --auth-mode login \ --as-user
