What am I missing that is causing my issues accessing "https://manage.windowsazure.com" or "https://portal.azure.com"
My problem is trying to access either of these sites from IE 11 on Windows 8.1. It is running as a VM in VMWare Fusion.
If I try to open IE as a normal session and go to the portal site I get the url. ../sigin/index and a white page, nothing else happens at all. If I try to access the manage site I am able to get to the "all items" view but I always am shown the message "You have signed out elsewhere. Click OK to log out from the management portal" I can get around this by hitting escape. I've tried deleting Temporary internet files and cookies to no avail.
If I try opening IE in a private session and go to portal.azure.com I am currently able to get into the portal and I can get into the manage.windowsazure.com page, however the information does not load/refresh. I.e. this morning when I logged in I could get in, and I tried to delete several of my resources. The webpage said it was doing something, but it never seemed to process. Logging in now, none of the resources load (just progress bars for all of them.
Now if I open these same sites in Safari on my host computer the management experience is much better, I can delete things, the pages load and refresh.
Yesterday I went to an Microsoft sponsored intro class on Azure. The facility was also using Windows 8 and I created a new outlook.com account for the class. I had no inexplicable issues managing Azure during the class.
Is this a hardware resource issue or the fact that we're using ADFS. Any help is appreciated.
We are using ADFS for our Office365 logins and I'm trying to access the azure account associated with my Office365 account. We have no noticeable issues getting into the Office365 sites.
My VM has 2 GB of RAM and is running on a MacBook Pro (2012) 2.6 GHz i7. Suggestions are appreciated. I really want to make Azure work for us, but it seems overly difficult. This has been across multiple days and reboots of my computer. I'm pretty sure along the way I have reset IE as well.
--edit I upped the VM to 4GB of RAM and no immediate changes yet.

We recently migrated from a SQL Server 2008 SSRS server to a new SQL Server 2016. The entire report catalog was restored and upgraded to this new server. Everything is working, except the horrible performance of the web portal.
The performance while connecting to the web portal from a domain joined computer seems decent, but connecting to the web portal over the internet is seriously frustrating. Even simply trying to browse a directory of reports is a wait of several seconds, and running any given report is similarly slow. It's slow in IE11, Edge, Chrome, Safari, you name it. Like 25+ seconds to go from login to viewing the Home directory.
We are using NETWORK SERVICE as the service account, and NTLM authentication. We aren't getting any permission errors in the UI or the logs. HOWEVER in Edge browser, using the developer tools, I notice several 401 unauthorized HTTPS GET requests for things like reports/assets/css/app-x-x-x-bundle.min.css. So perhaps there is a permissions issue somewhere? Other interesting items in the developer tools is that things like reports/api/v1.0/CatalogItemByPath(path=#path)?#path= are taking like 10 seconds. These are JSON types.
Certain reports that do things like have a parameter depend on another parameter selection will sometimes not work. The waiting icon spins and when the report returns the selection will not be kept, nor the second parameter filled. Sometimes it works, however, which is part of what makes this so maddening.
There are no explicit error messages, but something is getting bogged down in a major way. There are no resource issues on this server that we can see- it's got plenty of headroom in terms of RAM and CPU.
This is not a report optimization problem; the entire UI is slow for everything.
I really didn't wanted to ask that kind of question in this resource, but I have no choice.
I have tried ask this question to Azure Support on Twitter, but they told me to open support case in azure portal itself. However, if you want to use their direct support, you must pay money.
MSDN forums does not allow me to post screenshots until it verifies my account, so this makes posting there useless.
When I want to add new Virtual machine I press Add button on Virtual Machines tab. Then it opens new tab with loading message and hangs. It says loading and then nothing happens.
I have cleared cache of my browser, opended incognito mode, still this happens.
I have installed another browser, opened portal and Dashboard still hangs at loading tab.
I have tried to open portal on my friends computers, problem still persists.
This is screenshot of this problem:
This is Javascript console:
According to this screenshot, Azure Portals Dashboard has javascript errors.
Why this is happening? Did I encounter some kind of bug?
As David said, it is not directly related to the forum, but there was partial portal outage, according to the https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/. North America users were impacted.
Looks like that issue was mitigated.
If that is the helpful answer, please mark it as a helpful or as the answer. Thanks!
I have recently installed a website project on Azure and that was relatively easy to do thanks to great docs online. We are having a problem with the back office (admin) login though, it's a bit strange, as it didn't happen straight away, I shall elaborate....
When I go to http://www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/umbraco/ it takes me to the login page, which seems fine.
(The url at this point becomes www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/.../login.aspx)
I then login, which works and it starts to display the admin panels but then bounces back to the login and the URL becomes www.keelycattschoolofdance.co.uk/.../login.aspx
I am running this on Azure using the Accelerator, latest version of Umbraco and using SQL CE 4.0 rather than SQL Server.
has anyone seen this before?
Please let me know if you need more information, I shall respond :-)
Thanks in advance

It sounds like it may be a Session error. This is a problem for Azure and Umbraco because Azure uses round robin load balancing.
The normal way of setting up an Umbraco site using the accelerator would be to have a separate session DB where the shared session state is stored.
Make sure you are using this accelerator for Umbraco on Azure as it's the latest and best.
http://waacceleratorumbraco.codeplex.com/
We have several large production sites using this and I can confirm they all work fine (including the backend editing environment).
Things to watch out for are that you need to follow the instructions closely as they are easy to get wrong :-)
Make sure you don't have dashes in your db names as this makes things go wrong as well.
Finally if you are using more than one web role the Umbraco preview can sometimes yellow screen, as the preview XML may not be on the server that gets to the preview request. This is again because of the round robin load balancing.
hi
i have a problem at my production site, client reported that he is not seeing data in lists of sharepoint, as well drop downs which have years in pages of site appear empty with one user A on machin X having with windows 7. but data and comes up and drop downs are now populated when accessed from machine Y with same user A.
i dont knw wht really the problem is. As to development site this issue is not produced,
plz help,
thnks in advance
From your question, I gather the data does exist and the same user can see the information from one computer but not another.
A couple things spring to mind. (I am presuming usage of Internet Explorer since SharePoint 2007 has some rather weird rendering issues with other browsers. Correct me if this is an incorrect assumption.)
First, Windows 7 has later versions of IE which can refuse to send network credentials to a server it doesn't think is part of the intranet (corporate network). What makes this especially frustrating is that IE will prompt for network credentials (a result of the challenge from the website) but will not transmit those credentials. Examine the IIS logs to see if this is the case. The requests will be void of credentials using IE but will be present using Firefox (and presumably any other web browser). The fix for this is usually as simple as adding the domain into the Local Intranet zone in Internet Options.
If this is not the case, can you confirm the user is using the same credentials? Is this integrated authentication using Active Directory or forms authentication?
Are there any differences between the two computers with regards to how they reach the SharePoint site? (Such as one is VPN, the other is directly connected)? Or are they essentially equal but with different browser/OS configurations?
Are the lists standard out-of-the-box lists or have they been customized with SharePoint Designer or any other means? Are you injecting JavaScript via a Content Editor Web Part which might not be executing correctly?
It would be very helpful to know browser versions used, OS versions used, differences in connectivity to the resource from each machine, type of authentication used, and any other thing you can think to list.
I wish you luck in tracking this down!
Windows 7 or xp has nothing to do over here probably it has to do with the browser which he is using to browse the site ask him to chk the internet explorer settings and verify that he has enabled execution of javascript and other related things
A cheeseburger to the first person who can help me make sense of this. I have a page in a Sharepoint app that uses Telerik's RadUpload to upload files. This has worked for months; last week it stopped working (in Internet Explorer, this detail is important). After talking with a co-worker about the problem, I tried the upload with Firefox; it worked. Not only that, all subsequent uploads from Internet Explorer started working. Flash forward an hour, and the aforementioned coworker, on another Sharepoint site, running on different servers, was having problems downloading (using Internet Explorer). Being half serious, half smart-aleck, I said 'try it in Firefox'. Not only did that work, ALL SUBSEQUENT DOWNLOADS IN INTERNET EXPLORER WORKED! And he re-produced this behavior on another machine. My fear is that this a browser issue. All advice will be greatly appreciated.

IE will try and present credentials to a server it knows to be in its Local Intranet zone when it tries to connect (depending on the setting of "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone").
Firefox will only present credentials when prompted, and will generally ask you by popping up a box (unless you've configured a list of sites for it to always present NTLM credentials to).
I've seen a similar case with Sharepoint where you can cause IE to work by logging in with Firefox. I theorized it was due to a permission on a remote resource being for "Authenticated Users", and you're causing your user to authenticate by logging in forcefully. We eventually set the "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone" to "Prompt" and it worked. My theory there was that it wasn't detecting the site as being in the Local Intranet zone for some reason. If you're not accessing a domain with no .'s in it, try also setting your Local Intranet site policy to match the full domain of the Sharepoint server, not just *.example.com - I've read that that can help.
Was it as simple as IE not re-downloading miss-cached .js file, maybe, that firefox did download, making IE work after that?
Pretty gnarly to debug.
