I have an API published to Azure App Services, using ef core, connect to Azure SQL database. below are the steps and the problem:
The Azure SQL database is up and running OK, I setup two firewall rules, one for my local dev ip, one for Azure App. I can connect to Azure SQL from local without any issue, and I have done the migrations.
I copied the connection string from Azure SQL and put in the appsettings.json, running the API from my local and connect to Azure SQL without any issue.
I published my API to Azure App services without any issues, I can see my app running OK since it has static file.
Then I went to Azure App Services => Settings/Configuration => Connection strings, create one new connect string with the same key/value as I used in the appsettings.json, based on the document from Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/containers/configure-language-dotnetcore#access-environment-variables
But the problem is after I done these, my API still not working, the api call to SQL return error 500.
Anything I missed or did wrong?
Thanks!
Thanks for the comments CSharpRocks, I did by adding the client ip, but I figured that's not the right way, so resolved by set the "Allow Azure services and resources to access this server" to True, that works.
For Others looking for the answer I had followed the steps above and it still did not work for me. But when I went to Visual Studios --> Publish --> Service Dependency's --> Add Azure SQL Database That fixed it for me.

I have a requirement where in I need to parameterize my Azure SQL/Azure Synapse linked service using 2 parameters 'DBServer' and 'DBName'. I configured my collaboration branch as below and everything works as expected in my Synapse workspace.
Even the linked service ARM template shows the connection string values as expected.
However when I publish the code (using the publish button in Synapse workspace), the code in the Synapse Live mode does not contain these parameters defined. Please see the snippet below.
Even the code in the TemplateParameter file of the publish branch is blank.
I tried removing the parameters and put in the actual values for Server and DBName, it still shows no values in the publish branch/Live mode. While I understand that the git mode does not store secrets, this case of mine does not have any secrets and I am authenticating via Managed Identity.
Is there a solution to deal with this scenario? I would not prefer to store the connection string in KeyVault and refer it back in the linked service as it does not make the solution completely dynamic.
I created Azure sql database and created synapse pool in Azure portal. I created SQL linked service in synapse pool with managed identity authentication.
to authenticate with managed identity, I created user in SQL database with synapse pool name using below query
create user [SynapsePoolName] from external provider;
ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER [SynapsePoolName];

Linked service:
I published the Linked Service with publish button.
Image for reference:
It published successfully.
When I open the linked service after publish, I am getting the parameters.
Image for reference:
I got the parameters in template also.

It worked in my machine kindly check from your side.
I am trying to implement a solution to automate the deployment of an api to multiple hosts. The api is a private one which links a mobile app to a on-prem DB.
Right now i have to connect to the said host with VPN, create a backup of the API, paste the new one, change the DB connectionString and then move to the next one.
The question is how can i simplify this process? I want to be able to deploy said API to all hosts using specific Server and Database variables to connect to their databases.
I am looking more for guidance, not a complete in-depth implementation but explaining the process a bit sure is welcomed :)
The API runs on ASP Core 6.0 using Azure Devops as a TFVC repo
Below is the steps i have took to publish my Website to Azure. I have two data connections the "defaultconnection" for users tables log in register etc. The other is a connection to an Azure Sql Database.
On Azure i created a new app service.
In Visual Studio i click on project and select publish.
In the publish Web window that pops up i select Microsoft Azure Web Apps.
In the following window i select the app service i created in Azure.
In the settings window it shows the two connection database connections.
They both have the same connection string which is the Azure hosted Database. I am not sure what to change the connection string to for the users table. I created a SQL database in azure and connected that to the app service then used that connection string for the "defaultconnection". The string is below
Server=tcp:userauthen.database.windows.net,1433;Data Source=userauthen.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=USERAUTH;Persist Security Info=False;User ID={your_username};Password={your_password};MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
I published to azure and am able to go through the pages but as soon as i try to interact with the database i get an internal server error 500.
I tried publishing the website without userlogin so i could see if it connected to the Azure sql database but i still get the internal server error 500. I am really stuck at this point and any assistance would be helpful.
So i changed the firewall settings to allow certain IP address and it worked. I can access both my databases.
I have created an ASP.NET MVC 3 application locally and now I'm wanting to publish it to windows azure server (which is all set up fine within my account) so that it is accessible by anyone.
However I'm having issues as the database used in the application and the connection strings in web.config are localdb.
How do I go about changing localdb to SQL database so that I can host the website live properly?
Do I just need to change the connection strings or is there further configuration required on the server or in the application?
Just change the connection string from localdb to SQL Server.
So I am new to working on web projects in general. I am working on an MVC application in Visual Studio 2008. I have generated an SQL database within VS, and I have deployed my application on IIS. However when I try to do anything in the application which will spark an SQL query, I get the following error:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."
I have hit google on this problem, and people have suggested a number of solutions but I am unsure how many of them are relevant to me doing this when I'm doing this in VS2008,. I have tried a few simple things suggested like setting the trust level to full, and setting the Load User Profile to true in IIS, but no luck yet.
What edition of SQL are you running where you deployed the application to? If it is not SQL Express, you will need to remove "User Instance=True" from the connection string.
