I have the following code which was working when I was using 
**System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt, Version=4.0.20622.1351**

    private static void ConfigureAzureAD(IAppBuilder appBuilder)
    {
        appBuilder.UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication(
            new WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
            {
                Tenant = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[&quot;ida:Tenant&quot;],
                TokenValidationParameters = new System.IdentityModel.Tokens.TokenValidationParameters
                {
                    ValidAudience = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[&quot;ida:Audience&quot;]
                }
            });
    }


However as soon as I upgraded this package to the latest one which is [version 5][1] it no longer compiles complaining 
Reference to type &#39;TokenValidationParameters&#39; claims it is defined in System.IdentityModel.Token.Jwt but it could not be found. 

Also if you try the following compiler will warn you that **Audience is obsolete**:

   

     private static void ConfigureAzureAD(IAppBuilder appBuilder)
        {
            appBuilder.UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication(
                new WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
                {
                    Tenant = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[&quot;ida:Tenant&quot;],
                    Audience = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[&quot;ida:Audience&quot;]
                });
        }

I downgraded this DLL again and used  the version 4.0.20622.1351, it started compiling. 

Has there been a syntax change for Configuring the Azure Active Directory? 

On Github I could not find a single project using the latest package 5.0.0 and all of them are using the previous package 4.0.20622.1351. Can anyone shed some light on this using the latest **System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt 5.0.0** or direct me to some project on Github using the latest package?

I&#39;m attempting to move an App Service from one service plan to another.  When I use the portal to do so, the other App Service plan is not displaying. 

Both App Services are in the same Location and Resource Group.
The two App Services Plans are in the same location and have the same pricing tier.

I use the &quot;Change App Service Plan&quot; option for the web app.  The only App Service Plan that is displayed is the current one. There is also a &quot;Create New&quot; option.

So, in summary:
1) Why is the other App Service Plan not able to be selected.
2) How can I move the App Service (Web App) to the other App Service Plan.

For numerous time it has happened that our DevOps guys have created a Azure WebApp with incorrect URL. 

Which forced us the delete the resource group (as group contains web app, sql azure etc.) And re-create.


Is there a way to re-name /update the Web App URL via powershell Azure API or some hidden azure portal feature?

How to rename the Azure WebApp URL

Does anyone know if it is possible to add the SVG mime type to a Windows Azure Website?
I tried with a web.config file but that only broke my website.

Is this a limitation of the current preview or am I missing something?

thanks for your help!

Use SVG in Windows Azure Websites

In my ASP.NET 5 (RC1) code I have an appsetting.json that looks something like this:

    {
        &quot;SomeSettings&quot;: {
            &quot;PropA&quot;: &quot;ValueA&quot;,
            &quot;PropB&quot;: [
                &quot;ValueB1&quot;,
                &quot;ValueB2&quot;
            ]
        }
    }

These value are used when a run the code on my dev machine (ie. localhost). If I want to overwrite the &quot;SomeSettings&quot; in Azure&#39;s Application settings for the wep app, how would I specify the &quot;PropB&quot; array?

The SomeSettings.cs class that I want to store the information in looks like this:

    public class SomeSettings
    {
        public string PropA { get; set; }
        public List&lt;string&gt; PropB { get; set; }
    }

The problem is &quot;PropB&quot; - how to I specify an array or List as a string in Azure - is this even possible?

In my Startup class&#39;s constructor I have:

    var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
        .AddJsonFile(&quot;appsettings.json&quot;)
        .AddEnvironmentVariables();

And in my Startup class&#39;s Configure methods I have:

    var someSettings = configuration.GetSection(&quot;SomeSettings&quot;).Get&lt;SomeSettings&gt;();

What are the material differences between the new [Azure Web Sites][1] and the traditional Azure Web Roles for an ASP.NET MVC application?  What reason would I choose a &quot;web site&quot; over a &quot;web role&quot; or vice versa?

Let&#39;s assume that I would need equal capacity in either case (e.g. 2 small instances).  The prices seem comparable other than the fact that there is a 33% temporary discount for web sites while they are in their preview period.

Are there things that I can do with a &quot;web site&quot; that are difficulty or impossible with a web role?  For example, does it become easy to put multiple web sites in a single set of VMs using &quot;web sites&quot;?  Do I lose anything with a &quot;web site&quot; vs a &quot;web role&quot;?  Ability to fine tune IIS?  Ability to use the Cache service locally?

Is there a file &quot;view&quot; available in Azure?  

When I log in to Azure to look at a website I&#39;ve deployed there is no obvious see exactly what files Azure is hosting.

---
I can see there&#39;s the Visual Studio Online option which allows you to live edit your server code but that is more than I need.  I just want to be able to check that certain files are deployed and others are not.

I&#39;ve been reading a few tutorials now on deploying Web Apps and API Apps to Azure. However, I am still a little unsure as to why you would use one over another. 

I can create a new .NET solution with API controllers and deploy this as a Web App, so why would I specifically require an API App? Are these optimized specifically for ASP.NET Web API, where as Web Apps are for delivering HTML?

After the new model was implemented, all of my websites now belong to individual Resource Groups called &quot;Default-Web-East&quot; and all of my SQL databases belong to individual Resource Groups called &quot;Default-SQL-East&quot;.

This is confusing to say the least.

I would like to rename the groups to have some semantic meaning.  I would also like to group the associated SQL database and Web Site in the same Resource Group. 

However, I do not see anyway to do either.  Is this possible?

1) Rename the Resource Group?
2) Combine an existing SQL DB and Website together into one Resource Group?

Suddenly Web Deployment started failing. 
    
    Could not find file &#39;D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Offline.htm&#39;.

I stopped the service, but deployment still fails.

When I tried to delete any file from wwwroot in Kudu PowerShell UI I get error &quot;404 file not find&quot;, but that file is still displayed after refresh.
When I tried to delete file directly in powershell I get error

What is going wrong with web deployment from Visual Studio and App service?

The Azure error is:

&gt; .Net Core: Application startup exception:
&gt; System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The configuration file
&gt; &#39;appsettings.json&#39; was not found and is not optional.


So this is a bit vague. I can&#39;t seem to nail this down. I&#39;m trying to deploy a .Net Core Web API project to Azure, and I&#39;m getting this error:

&gt; :(  Oops. 500 Internal Server Error 
&gt; An error occurred while starting the application.

I&#39;ve deployed plain old .Net WebAPI&#39;s and they have worked. I&#39;ve followed online tutorials and they have worked. But somehow my project is broke. Enabling stdoutLogEnabled on Web.config and looking at the Azure Streaming Logs gives me this:

This works fine locally. But once we publish to Azure, this fails. I&#39;m at a loss. I&#39;ve created new .Net core project that deploy to Azure just find. But this one project, that I put all my time into to, seems to fail. I&#39;m about ready to copy and paste code out of the project that fails to run and into a new project, but i&#39;m really curious on what&#39;s breaking this.

Any ideas?


EDIT:
So my Program.cs was:

&lt;!-- language: c# --&gt;

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
    
    namespace Quanta.API
    {
        public class Program
        {
            public static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                var host = new WebHostBuilder()
                    .UseKestrel()
                    .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                    .UseIISIntegration()
                    .UseStartup&lt;Startup&gt;()
                    .Build();
    
                host.Run();
            }
        }
    }


Edit2:
Per Frans, I checked the publishOptions. It was:

    &quot;publishOptions&quot;: {
    &quot;include&quot;: [
      &quot;wwwroot&quot;,
      &quot;web.config&quot;
    ]

I took a publishOptions from a working project and changed it to:

     &quot;publishOptions&quot;: {
      &quot;include&quot;: [
        &quot;wwwroot&quot;,
        &quot;Views&quot;,
        &quot;Areas/**/Views&quot;,
        &quot;appsettings.json&quot;,
        &quot;web.config&quot;
      ]
      },

It still gave a 500 error, but it didn&#39;t give a stack trace saying it coulding load appsettings.json. Now it was complaining about a connection to SQL. I noticed that my SQL connection string code is mentioned in a lot of RC1 blog posts. RC2 of .Net Core changed it. So I updated it to:

      &quot;Data&quot;: {
        &quot;ConnectionStrings&quot;: {
          &quot;DefaultConnection&quot;: &quot;Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=QuantaDb;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true&quot;
        }
      },

And changed my startup to:

&lt;!-- language: c# --&gt;

     services.AddDbContext&lt;QuantaContext&gt;(options =&gt;
            options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString(&quot;DefaultConnection&quot;),
            b =&gt; b.MigrationsAssembly(&quot;Quanta.API&quot;)));

Finally, it worked. 

I must have followed an older RC1 example and not realized it.



The configuration file &#39;appsettings.json&#39; was not found and is not optional

I&#39;m getting this error after I sign into my Azure website:

&gt; AADSTS50194: Application &#39;xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&#39; is not configured as a multi-tenant application. Usage of the /common endpoint is not supported for such applications created after &#39;10/15/2018&#39;. Use a tenant-specific endpoint or configure the application to be multi-tenant.
