My Az SQL Server accesses csv files present in Storage Account by creating external table. The storage account is firewall protected with access to only some IPs. How do I whitelist my SQL Server IP to ensure access to the Storage Account? Please help
Go to Storage account --> Networking
Select Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses as Public network access.
Then go to Firewall section. Here you can add sql server IP.

We have a .Net application, running in a docker container, connecting to Azure Storage, running on Azure AKS. We use the connectionString to connect to the Azure Storage, for both temporary file storage, as well as logging purposes. Our AKS sits within a vNet, with it's own subnet, and it happily connects to the storage, which also sits in its own subnet, with the two subnets linked via a service endpoint. The storage is not open to all networks, it's been set to only be enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses.
Now, if we try and move / run the container on the AKS virtual node, it's starts up amd runs without any issues, but if we try and hit the storage from within the container, we now have authorization issues:
Status: 403 (This request is not authorized to perform this
operation.) ErrorCode: AuthorizationFailure
Content: AuthorizationFailureThis
request is not authorized to perform this operation.
RequestId:131fd452-901e-001a-4329-f3010f000000

If I enable the storage to have public network access, it works, but we don't want this. So what our options to fix this seeing as we can't add a service endpoint to the underlying subnet / vNet on which the virtual node is running. We're also concerned, because this will probably affect any db connections as well, which will be an issue if we want to run our db backed containers on the virtual node.
Status: 403 (This request is not authorized to perform this operation.) ErrorCode: AuthorizationFailure
Content: AuthorizationFailureThis request is not authorized to perform this operation.
The above 403 errors occur you may not give proper permission and also you may not assign roles in storage account.
For principal authentication purpose you need to assign roles in your storage account.
Storage blob data owner
Storage blob data contributor.
Portal:
In portal go to your storage account -> Access Control (IAM) -> Add ->Add role assignments-> Storage blob data owner or Storage blob data contributor with your service principal.
After assigning it you can view the access through portal by referring below snap:
Make sure with Networking and Firewalls and virtual networks in the public access is set to Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses.
Make sure you were adding correct virtual network and subnets in the portal and also virtual node client IP address in your environment issue may client IP was not added to the firewall rules for the storage account and also check the Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account. in Checked state, Then, these trusted providers will establish a secure connection to your storage account using strong authentication.
Go to Azure Portal -> Storage Accounts -> Networking-> Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses.

I am connecting to a client FTP Storage blob via FTP in Azure from a managed Azure VM. I want to force the VM's public IP to be used but it is forcing the Private IP connect, this can be seen from the client logs. What do i need to configure to force the use of the public IP?
Basically the vm from where you are trying to connect to and your
storage account need to be part of same Virtual Network and Subnet.
Check if the firewall is blocking and disable the firewall on the blob
storage .
Also check in your case if both vm and azure storage are in same region:
Services deployed in the same region as the storage account use private Azure IP addresses for communication.i.e; your VM uses the
internal network (over ipv6 and not the VMs published IP addresses
)to attempt to access the Storage so adding the public IP won't work
as IP network rules have no effect on requests originating from the
same Azure region as the storage account
Thus, you cannot restrict access to specific Azure services based on
their public outbound IP address range.Reference: Configure Azure
Storage firewalls and virtual networks | Microsoft Docs.
To allow same-region requests try to use Virtual network rules .
One way to try is by adding the Virtual Network subnet of the VM to
the firewall rules and adding Azure.Storage as service endpoint to
the subnet. If added through Azure Portal the service
endpoint will be automatically added .

I have an Azure Storage account and need to enable the storage firewall.
I have added the outbound IP addresses of my App Service, but the firewall still prevents access. (I know that these addresses can change, but they change predictably, so I can live with that.)
Is there a solution to grant an App Service access to the Storage account other than disabling the firewall (and other than using an ASE, which isn't an option)?
So it turns out that in a new Azure Storage account with a new App Service, setting the storage firewall to the outbound IPs of the App Service does work as expected. Unless the client browser is actually doing the download, adding the client's IP is not required.
Edit
This only works reliably when the storage account is in a different data centre to the App Service. When they are both in the same data centre, an internal outbound address (e.g. 10.x.x.x) is presented from the App Service to the Storage account. Internal addresses cannot be added to the Storage firewall.
If you access your web app service from on-premises networks, you need to grant access from your on-premise networks to your storage account with a public Internet-facing IP address used by your network. You can get more details from Grant access from an internet IP range
If you have VNet Integration with your apps. You should first enable service endpoints for storage in the VNet. You can refer to Grant access from a virtual network.
Because of my machine IP gets changed dynamically (get ip using website whatismyip.com ) I could not able to access and set Server-Level Firewall Rules to sql azure database.
I tried to add range also 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 but it is not working.
Is there any work around to access SQL Azure?
getting error:
I wrote a post a while ago on how to access the SQL Azure instance using point-to-site VPN provided by Azure Virtual Network. It does not require anything to be open on the SQL Azure side. Here is a link to it: http://rtumaykin-it.blogspot.com/2015/01/using-linux-iptables-port-forwarding.html
Here is how to create a Virtual network and VPN: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/vpn-gateway-point-to-site-create/
Hope this solution can help.
SQL Azure requires you to add your public IP address to be added to restriction so that you can access it. Go to whatismyip.com , fetch the address you get there and paste it in the Azure Management portal to the allowed IP List.
