I have attempted this via many different methods and I do not see any issues with non-usgov related SoftLayer accounts. I have come to the conclusion after discussing this with a SoftLayer support person that the usgov SoftLayer accounts use a different domain when connecting. This support person recommended I create this ticket.
Typical Domain: api.softlayer.com
Usgov Domain: api.usgov.softlayer.com
I can only assume this is correct, as I can resolve the usgov domain via ping.
However I cannot reach it via typical means, example:
curl -X GET -u <USER>:<APIKEY> https://api.usgov.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getUsers
This instance returns:
curl: (35) SSL connect error
How can I resolve this issue?
try:
https://api.service.usgov.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getUsers
instead
https://api.usgov.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getUsers
Also keep om mind that in order to reach the server you need to use VPN, otherwise you never be able to reach it.

I'm simply trying to use Serverless and Lambda to make get and post requests to my Atlas cluster. I've followed all the tutorials below which are very similar:

Using Insomnia or Postman I can make get and post requests to a locally hosted database but not to an Atlas cluster. The requests always result in 502 Bad Gateway with JSON message of "internal server error". I've tried switch up the cluster host from AWS to Azure and that didn't help. In regard to the various drivers I've tried every variety of connection string. I've whitelisted all ips so access is not an issue. Please help.
I deleted the cluster, project, organization, and users in my Atlas account and started over. I didn't manually create a new user through the Network Access tab but rather created a user with the prompt you get when creating a Cluster. I noticed there was a note regarding special characters when making a connection:
When entering your password, make sure that any special characters are URL encoded.
My previous password used an # symbol which may have been causing problems. So be careful when using email addresses as user names. I assigned 0.0.0.0/0 to the user as usual. I don't think it matters but I only have one user and I added a comment to that user as well. Now I can make a connection using the 2.2.12 or later Node.js driver connection string. I hope this helps someone.
I have an issue with appears to occur randomly (however i suspect it occurs when starting up the application or changing the application settings). The error I'm getting is as follows:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 127.0.0.1:80
The particular error in my case occurs when trying to generate a authentication token using Identity Framework by making requests to the following url:
https://domainname/api/token
Note that the api/token url is specified within the owin pipeline > OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions > TokenEndpointPath. This get set on startup of the application.
From my understanding 127.0.0.1:80 is azures localhost and is forbidden for us to access, i'm not sure why its defaulting to localhost as a domain, my educated guess is something is happening during the startup that's first setting the host to localhost.
My question is does anyone else get this on startup (while the site is warming up) for azure web apps?
Have i configured something incorrectly for me to be getting this behavior?
I know this is a little open ended but is there anything i can do to resolve this issue?
That is the well-known issue described in the official documentation. You may not to access not just a 127.0.0.1, but i suspect that the problem is even a little different - it looks like something is wrong with the :80 port usage. IIS use that port, and i would try to change the port used by your app.
However, from your description is not clear who is that guy who tries to do that - your app tries to do something with the 80 port, or the Azure WebApp functionality.
Please try to start from the eliminating the possibility of some renewing events by enabling Always On in the Azure Web App setting. It will make your web app always on, and will help to understand if that is caused by the service.
Good evening, just saw that Facebook released his messenger bot toolkit and i immediately jumped right into it to learn more about it and maybe try to do my own.
My problem is that i don't have a https website running and it requires a https valid url. I tried to use my local web-server that has a certificate but it doesn't work.
My question is if this is possible to be done using a localhost url at all.
Thank you in advance
Actually this is possible with localhost. Use ngrok. It allows you to open localhost to the public web, over http or https. This should only be used for testing however.
If you want to test webhooks on your local environment, I would try ultrahook.com, you can get an API Key for free and the tool creates a tunnel from a public URL to your computer. This is from their FAQs page:
You download and run the UltraHook client on your computer. It
connects to UltraHook servers in the cloud and creates a tunnel from a
public endpoint on our servers to your computer. Any HTTP POST
requests sent to the public end point will be sent through the tunnel
an delivered to a private endpoint accessible from your computer.
I have used it to test webhooks from different providers (like payment gateways). In your computer, you can run something like:
ultrahook <subdomain> http://localhost:8000/webhook/
and then configure the webhook URL in your external service to something like <subdomain>.ultrahook.com
My question is if this is possible to be done using a localhost url at all.
No, of course it isn’t – because what such a “callback” actually means, is that Facebook makes a request to your server – and that is hardly possible with localhost.
A valid SSL certificate for your website is easy to get for free these days, via LetsEncrypt. And even if that is not available on your server, there’s still StartSSL, that provide basic certificates for free. All you need is a server you can install them on, or upload them to, or whatever mechanism your hoster provides for it. (And if they don’t provide any, then it might be time to switch.)
I have setup serverend points they work for the web interface fine but the api endpoint for my for app do not even give a error and does not time out.
I have tried turn the app to production mode in the web interfaces no joy.
I look at the doc for server setup but can find any thing to help.
So I would think their is configure issue where should I look?
On localhost ever thing works.
On remote host where using 168.192.0.15:8530 only web interface works not my api form either curl or may app
Without further information I can only guess what the problem is, but I'll try:
The default --server.endpoint configuration value for an ArangoDB server is tcp://127.0.0.1:8529. That means you will be able to access it from the local machine but not from other hosts.
To make the server respond to HTTP requests originated from other hosts, you will need to use an endpoint that includes the server's IP address as used in your network, e.g. tcp://192.168.173.13:8529 and restart it with the adjusted configuration.
If that's not working either, can you trying calling the target URL from another server via curl and check the server's HTTP response code. This might reveal the source of the problem, too. Note that you should invoke curl with the option --dump - to see the HTTP response code. For example:
curl -X GET --dump - http://192.168.173.13:8529/your/app
If that is not producing any results (i.e. no response at all), you might have a firewall in between that blocks requests. Probably you need to allow access on the port ArangoDB uses (8529 by default and used in my example).
So I have learn the issue is the api endpoint url is not the same on localhost at their are from outside. Example:
curl -X GET --dump - http://localhost:8529/broad/broad/login
curl -X GET --dump - http://192.168.0.15:8530/_db/_system/broad/broad/login

I've followed the guide:
Getting Started with Authentication with Mobile Services .NET for Windows Store
I'm able to run the service locally as long as I don't need to authenticate the user. I can also authenticate the user if I publish the service to Azure. But I want to be able to test and authenticate the user locally. How can this be done?
I'm using Live ID and I have the correct ClientID and ClientSecret set in the Web.config. When I attempt to call LoginAsync from the client the call fails with The request could not be completed. (Method Not Allowed)
** Update 2014-03-20 **
Based on the comments of Carlos and Henrik, I've updated my local service to look exactly like my server instance. I followed Scot Hanselmans excellent guide and now I have my service running locally on port 80 and port 443 with a completely valid SSL certificate. It's even running on the exact same https://xxxx.azure-mabile.net hostname.
With these changes, there is now no configuration difference whatsoever between running the app against my local machine or running it against Azure. I can go to https://xxxx.azure-mabile.net in the browser, get redirected to Live login, sign in, and get redirected back to the service successfully. In the browser it all works. However it still doesn't work in the app.
I attached the debugger, set CLR errors to "break when thrown" and I managed to trap the exception in the service. Here's what I see in the immediate window:
The Response property is not helpful. It does not provide any additional information about the problem.
The only thing that stands out to me is that the app is trying to do a POST to /login/microsoftaccount while the browser would normally be doing a GET at this address (then getting redirected).
** Update #2 2014-03-20 **
After following Henriks guide for remote debugging I was able to load symbols and get a tiny bit more information:
"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
The error code is 10054 (WSAECONNRESET) Connection reset by peer.
It appears the Live Authentication server may be forcibly terminating the connection, but only when I'm authenticating with the app. Again, authentication within the browser is fine. This, combined with the fact that /login/microsoftaccount is a POST from the app seems to suggest there is a problem with the authentication token I'm getting back from LiveClient.LoginAsync. I'll do some more digging...
At the moment, it is set up so that you don't need authentication when running locally and access the service from localhost. In this case, anonymous access is let through (this is of course disabled while running in the cloud).
We don't really have a way for your to authenticate locally as redirect URIs won't work (they can't point to localhost as there is not way that Facebook, say, can resolve "localhost").
One option is that we somehow can mock the authentication locally and give you a token without connecting with the various identity providers. I am not sure exactly what that would look like but it is something we can consider.

Did you perhaps set Mobile client app: Yes in your Live Connect project? I think that setting is meant to be used with the Live Connect SDK (client) flow, not the browser-based (server) flow. The client flow isn't supported yet with a .NET backend.
You also want to make sure you are using LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.MicrosoftAccount) on the client to trigger the server flow.
