Has anyone managed to consume the Azure Service Management REST API from Android ?

What i have done :

Where i am at :

  • I am trying to make a request to get a list of hosted services but i get a 403 Forbidden response.(i believe the server failed to authenticate the request).

What i ask :

  • Can anyone please tell me the right steps to get it working?

You don't need to have that cert in the chain on the device. You need to load it and add it to the headers of the request you make.

In C#, I do that by storing the cert as an embedded resource, loading the bytes into a X509Certificate2 class and using that in thevrequest to the API.

Question: why do you need it on the device?

update: Did you add the certificate to the management certificates? :o) Just to clarify, there are two ways you can add certificates, one is in the Management certificates under the Hosted Services, Storage Accounts & CDN. Make sure you add it under the correct subscription ID, and make sure you call the HTTP with the correct parameters (most commonly the problem in my case).

  • I have tried the C# example in .net . It worked (ofc), but i did not manage to find a similar example for Android. Response to Question : Because if someone else uses this app, they should be able to upload their own certificate. – Daniel Parlapan Aug 24 '11 at 07:39
  • Try running Fiddler if possible and see if there are any differences in endpoint or details of the connections. – Anže Vodovnik Aug 25 '11 at 05:34
  • I'm not really able to use fiddler because : -When i debug in emulator, the get request gets timed out.(the emulator must be having "trouble"). -When i debug on a device, fidller can't trace the request (ofc). – Daniel Parlapan Aug 25 '11 at 15:35

    Then I suggest you take the code away from the project and get a Java App to work. Figure out if the cause is perhaps somewhere else... Eliminate everything else (emulator, OS)... – Anže Vodovnik Aug 25 '11 at 16:37
  • Thanks guys for your help. I managed to figure it out. The problem was the client certificate. The problem was the way i exported the .pfk and transforming it into a bks. I recommend using Portecle. – Daniel Parlapan Sep 01 '11 at 12:56
  • can anyone tell me how to solve this error (: 403 Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.)? This happens when i try to load my image to android device. – Nagendra Hari Karthick Dec 22 '17 at 07:55
