Set up deployment to app service using personal access token - azure-web-app-service

I've been given a personal access token (full access) which allows me to connect to a private Azure git repo within an Azure devops account from another subscription. Connecting to that repo locally using git is working fine.
I would like to set this up as a CI/CD deployment source for my app service but have been unable to find out how to do this. I tried Azure CLI:
az webapp deployment source config ... --repo-url https://anything:{pat}#dev.azure.com/Company/Project/_git/Reponame
This fails with a 500 error.
So I tried calling the Rest API directly but that also fails with the 500 error so not an Azure CLI issue.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction,
Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Use DefaultAzureCredentials to authenticate Service bus in Docker Container

I'm trying to use DefaultAzureCredentials to authenticate my Azure function against Azure Service Bus. In my azure function azure-func-service-bus, I call to Azure Service Bus
servicebus_client = ServiceBusClient(
fully_qualified_namespace=MY_SERVICE_BUS_NAMESPACE_NAME+".servicebus.windows.net",
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(additionally_allowed_tenants=['*'])
)
I created and pushed Docker container to ACR. When I run the container locally for testing outside of Azure, it does not know what permissions to use.
az acr login --name acr01
docker push acr01.azurecr.io/azure-func-service-bus:v1
docker pull acr01.azurecr.io/azure-func-service-bus:v1
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:80 acr01.azurecr.io/azure-func-service-bus:v1
but got the following error.
DefaultAzureCredential failed to retrieve a token from the included credentials.

Handler shutting down.
I'm missing a key piece of the puzzle. How can I handle this?
When the Azure Function runs in Azure, it's configured to support ManagedIdentityCredential. For your case I'd recommend trying to configure EnvironmentCredential to test locally.
You can find the details in the link, but the short version is:
Create a service principle (Docs) and give it the needed access
Run the container with extra Environment Variables:
AZURE_TENANT_ID: service principal's Tenant ID
AZURE_CLIENT_ID: service principal's AppId
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: service principle's password
I'd recommend using a .env file to make this easier, but be sure it doesn't get checked in anywhere.
FYI If your account doesn't use MFA, you can instead use the variables AZURE_USERNAME and AZURE_PASSWORD. But then you've put your username and password in a file or your terminal history which is concerning. Admittedly the service principal has the same problem, but you can more easily mitigate that with minimizing it's access and regularly rolling the secret.
P.S. If you're using Visual Studio for making your Azure Function you should be able to use something like: EnvironmentCredentialExample to automate setting up and using the needed .env file.

AZURE WEB APP: Problem: fatal: Authentication failed for 'webapp url'

Good day I am new on web developing and want to ask on how to fix this error in the terminal of Azure webapp service, git push azure main this is the command I keep inserting inside the terminal but the response is always this Password for <webapp url> and I don't know what password I should enter
therefore I browse the internet and still stuck on this, the fixes I tried is removing some credentials on windows credential, changing the HTTPS to SSHS, configuring global password, and lastly installing the GCM from github thank you very much
In Azure Portal, first we need to create Azure App service with the required run time stack.
You will get this option, if we deploy our App using Local Git.
We need to provide Credentials while pushing the code from local GitHub.
You will get the Credentials from Azure Portal => App Service.
Navigate to Azure Portal => Your App Service (which you have created in first step) => Deployment Center => Local Git/ FTPS credentials.
We can use the existing Application scope Username and Password or can create new User scope and use them.

Azure Devops Unable to Deploy the Azure Web App throws error

I am trying to deploy the Azure Web App in the Qa instance. I have created 3 different appsettings.json files with environment specific Client ID's in it
On the release pipeline for QA branch I am trying to use the test app service and set the settings like below
Release pipeline is all getting executed without any issues but when I try to access the application URL I get error like
Application ID is still pointing to the DEV one even though the appsettings.QA.json has different client ID of the Test App Registration where I set the reply URl and all correcctly.
I am not sure why my QA release pipeline is not using the ID's from the appsettings.QA.json. Can anyone please suggest me what is that I am missing here. Any help is greatly appreciated
Check how the application picks correct appsettings.json -file into use. As it picks Appsettings.Development.json in QA-environment, check how the environment is set in QA-environment App Service. Perhaps there is an environment-variable with the value "Development" in App Service configuration and that should be set to "QA"?

How to fix the Error "Error Code: ERROR_DESTINATION_INVALID" in Azure DevOps release pipelines

I have created the app service in existing internal app service environment. And then I’m trying to deploy the source code into above app service using Azure DevOps CI & CD pipelines. But, in the release pipeline I’m getting the below error message in Azure DevOps:
Error: Error Code: ERROR_DESTINATION_INVALID
More Information: Could not connect to the remote computer ("xx-xxxx-v1-api-dev.scm.xxx-int-nonp.xxxcloudapps.com"). Make sure that the remote computer name is correct and that you are able to connect to that computer. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_INVALID.
Error: The remote name could not be resolved: 'xx-xxxx-v1-api-dev.scm.xxx-int-nonp.xxxxcloudapps.com'
Error count: 1.
Note: I’m using self-hosted agent in the release pipeline. I have tried to access Kudu environment for the above service in the private virtual machine. But, the kudu not opening.
So, please suggest me how to fix the above issue.
Kindly set/add the following to the Application setting and see if it helps.
Name: WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM
Value: false
If I have understood your issue correctly (using private link).
For accessing the Kudu console, or Kudu REST API (deployment with Azure DevOps self-hosted agents for example), you must create two records in your Azure DNS private zone or your custom DNS server. Kindly check this document for more details. If you haven't added the records, kindly see if that works.
Name Type Value
mywebapp.privatelink.azurewebsites.net A PrivateEndpointIP
mywebapp.scm.privatelink.azurewebsites.net A PrivateEndpointIP
https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/app-service/networking/private-endpoint#dns
Ensure that the release pipeline is running in the right host. Because the endpoint is private for the SCM too, the DevOps Agent must be in a network with access with the endpoint, so mandatory to use self-hosted Devops Agent.
Kindly see this doc for more details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/app-service/networking/private-endpoint#dns
If the issue still persists, kindly capture a network trace/HAR or client-side HTTP log/review the logs.
P.S. Kindly do not share any PII data on the public forum for your privacy.

Can't find app with name error while publish the azure function

I tried to create an azure function using following link in Ubuntu system(16.04).
[azure function][2]
Deployment using arm template and create a local azure function using vs code.
Folder contains following files
LocalFunctionProj.csproj, HttpExample.cs, host.json, local.settings.json
azure function is created successfully in portal after deployment.But when i tried to publish the local azure function ,it shows an error Can't find app with name "HttpExample" while using following command
func azure functionapp publish HttpExample
Is anything wrong in my step.
Also i tried this command after 30 mnt when function created in portal
screen shot
I had a similar issue when I followed a tutorial about Azure Functions Core Tools from Microsoft Learning.
In my case, I had the error Can't find app with name X, because I had a wrong subscription set in my local Azure CLI. The command from below changes subscription for the one that is created with "Microsoft Learning Sandbox". Note that, in your case, the name of the subscription can be different.
az account set --subscription "Concierge Subscription"
If it's not the issue, your question suggests that your function app name should be HttpExample. You need to ensure beforehand that there's a function app with such a name in the subscription you are logged into with Azure CLI.
Moreover, there is a ProvisioningState: Failed in the screenshot, which could also be an issue.
If you want to publish the local app into azure ,you must create the functional app before in azure portal.Also the name of the azure function is portal should be same as the local azure app.otherwise you can't publish the app.
