Configure the Web Service

You need to configure the newly created Web Service with several application settings that enable the Web Service to communicate with the Azure tenant and storage account.

To configure the Web Service, follow these steps:

  1. Once the deployment is complete, under Next steps, click on Go to resource.

    Go to resource button is the Overview window, Next steps section

  2. Now you need to define several different application settings. From the left-side navigation menu, go to Settings > Configuration and then, from the right-side pane, under Application settings, click on New application setting.

    New application setting is in Configuration window, Application settings tab toolbar.

  3. Configure the application settings with the following parameters, and then click OK every time.

  4. In multi-tenant Azure environments, create new application settings for storage entities for each tenant ID and storage account connection string pair. You must increment by one the integer (0) used in the Name field for each subsequent pair.

    As such, the application settings for the second tenant ID - connection string pair must be:

    • Storage:Entities:1:TenantId

    • Storage:Entities:1:StorageConnectionString

  5. Once all required application settings are configured, click on Save and then Continue to save the Web Service configuration.

    • HTTPS only: On

    • Minimum TLS Version: 1.2
