Azure Connection Testing

To connect to an Azure blob container you can either use:

• Container name, account name, account key
• Connection string
• Shared Access Signature (SAS) URL

Connecting with Account name and Account key

In order to test connection to an Azure blob container using account name and account key you need to execute connect test az followed by:

• --az-container then the blob container name
• --az-account-name then the AZ account name
• --az-account-key then the AZ account key

For example:

$ connect test az --az-container myblob --az-account-name myaccount --az-account-key 1O8MbYTgY8Z/KD7Ip181dar7zvWfpTyzGIVdX1WsCmBSRj+XL1oXTkcMWri2ejhfmcA7/ZAFO6YL+ASt/GRBow==
2025/05/22 09:51:05 INFO Testing connection to az://myblob/
2025/05/22 09:51:05 INFO Connection successful

Connecting with connection string

In order to test connection to an Azure blob container using connection string you need to execute connect test az followed by:

• --az-connection-string then the connection string

For example:

$ connect test az --az-connection-string "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;BlobEndpoint=https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mybob;AccountName=myaccount;AccountKey=1O8MbYTgY8Z/KD7Ip181dar7zvWfpTyzGIVdX1WsCmBSRj+XL1oXTkcMWri2ejhfmcA7/ZAFO6YL+ASt/GRBow=="
2025/05/22 09:51:59 INFO Testing connection to az://myblob/
2025/05/22 09:51:59 INFO Connection successful

Connecting with SAS URL

In order to test connection to an Azure blob container using Shared Access Signature (SAS) URL you need to execute connect test az followed by:

• --az-sas-url then the SAS URL

For example:

$ connect test az --az-sas-url "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/myblob?sp=racwdli&st=2024-09-11T14:53:45Z&se=2024-09-25T22:53:45Z&spr=https&sv=2022-11-02&sr=c&sig=WZl3RWGl6pPHKUVyGlWB0ZxYjcmIK%2FbCkdjglw2wku0%3D"
2025/05/22 09:54:01 INFO Testing connection to az://myblob/
