Azure Service Error - The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme Anonymous/ System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: SOAP Server Application Faulted

-
When I was working on WCF services consumption through one of azure web/worker role I was getting the below service errors -

1) System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with internal server errors:{"message":"The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'"

2) System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: SOAP Server Application Faulted

In both scenarios, I had service authentication through Certs auth and I have certs installed on azure management portal.

After bit investigation I have realized the certs are not uploaded by their .pfx files, instead .cer certs uploaded into portal. When you deploy your azure web/worker roles, it won't complain about missing cert since cert store has .cer file.

But when you role calls WCF service, service expects to send .pfx file instead of .cer and you see above service errors.

To resolve the issue, you need to remove cert from management portal and upload cert with .pfx file. You may need to redeploy your package to get new certs installed into respective role instances.

I often see when packaging Windows Azure project getting "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters." error. To fix this issue I had to change Cloud Project User options file add add ServiceOutputDirectory entry to the file. 1) Open your Cloud Project file in Windows Explorer from Visual Studio. 2) Find Cloud Project file in opened directory (*.ccproj file) 3) Open file in Notepad 4) Add c:\azure entry Now your cloud visual studio project user options file looks similar to below: 5) Save file and open your solution again. 6) Package Solution and it should package without above error.

How to find root cause for SQL Azure DB error - " Resource ID : 1. The request limit for the database is 180 and has been reached." I have ran the following two queries to find long running queries that causing connection limit issue. When you run below queries the result set 1 shows all current running query on DB with active session ids. If result set1 has non-zero values in “blocking_session_id” column, you can find same session id in 2 nd result set and see the query text. Based on query text, you can guess which job is running this query & kill/suspend the job/query to release the server resources. select r . session_id , r . blocking_session_id , r . wait_type , r . wait_time , r . wait_resource , r . total_elapsed_time , r . cpu_time , r . reads , r . writes , s . nt_user_name , s . program_name , s . total_elapsed_time from sys . dm_exec_requests r join sys . dm_exec_sessions s on s . session_id = r . session_id SELECT
