At development time you have to add the Application Insights SDK to your project. Right-click the project and select Configure Application Insights. Next question is, how to find the ApplicationInsights resource connected to the Web App. Go to the Web App. Open setting Application Insights. Click Turn On Site Extension. You will see the Application…
In this post, I want to describe a hybrid integration scenario where a BizTalk 2016 service is exposed to Azure using a service bus relay. Note that the relay is not found under Service Bus, but under resource named Relays. This may be a point of confusion. First you will have to create a relay…
First let’s take a look at how tokens work in Azure AD. A client wants to call a service with validation taking place via Azure AD. The server redirects me to Azure AD. Here I log in with my username and password. Azure AD returns an access token(AT1) and a refresh token(RT) to the client…
Most often, people think Azure AD is just another copy of Active Directory in the cloud. Despite the similarity in names, this is actually not the case. Active Directory is a true directory service with a hierarchical structure. hierarchical structure is created using organizational units (OUs) and Group Policy Objects (GPOs). on-premises you can connect…
Trying to get your head around Azure B2B versus Azure B2C. I found an excellent YouTube video by John Savill. Check it out: Azure B2B Is used in conjunction with Azure AD, no separate product. Is used to give business partners access to all resources that are linked to Azure Active Directory. This can be…
When you define a service in API Management, you have to associate it with a specific subscription (= product). Now let’s say you can’t change the client. That means you can’t add a header with the ocp-apim-subscriptionkey. Question: Can you expose a service via API Management without the subscription key being sent as a part…
In the example below, I will show how easy it is to call a REST service hosted in API Management from a Web API. The API Management services encloses a logic app, which first enriches an input message with customer data and then calls a SaaS service. A better solution is not to require a…
Another quick gotcha. If you want to migrate a Logic App from Development to Accept and you don’t want to use Powershell/ARM or Visual Studio Team Services (DevOps), you can perform the following steps in the Azure Portal: Clone the Dev version of your Logic App and name it Acc_LogicApp (follow the correct naming convention).…
In a previous post, I explained how you can use Logic App parameters in ARM templates. This solution is quite complicated. You will have to parameterize your Logic Apps. At deployment, the parameters are substituted by actual values. But, If you lookup the logic app in the Azure Portal, you will notice that the value…
Azure API Connections have a name and a display name. When you create a new API Connection via the Azure Portal, you are not able to specify the name of the API Connection. This name is actually used in Logic Apps however. Example: @parameters(‘$connections’)[‘sftp_1’][‘connectionId’] In this case sftp_1 is the name, not the display name.…
