When I attempt to invoke an Azure Function in an Azure Function App using a system assigned managed identity to fetch a blob from an Azure Storage container, I’m encountering:
System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function:<FunctionName>. Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage: Unauthorized.
I’m adapting the approach outlined here.
Here’s the code:
[FunctionName("TestFetchTileViaSvcPrinId")]
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> RunAsync(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req,
ILogger log) {
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
const string blobName = "https://<storageaccount>.blob.core.windows.net/...path.../<file>.jpg";
// Get the initial access token and the interval at which to refresh it.
var azureServiceTokenProvider = new AzureServiceTokenProvider();
NewTokenAndFrequency tokenAndFrequency = TokenRenewerAsync(azureServiceTokenProvider, CancellationToken.None).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
// Create storage credentials using the initial token, and connect the callback function to renew the token just before it expires
var tokenCredential = new TokenCredential(tokenAndFrequency.Token, TokenRenewerAsync, azureServiceTokenProvider, tokenAndFrequency.Frequency.Value);
var storageCredentials = new StorageCredentials(tokenCredential);
var cloudBlockBlob = new CloudBlockBlob(new Uri(blobName), storageCredentials);
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream()) {
await cloudBlockBlob.DownloadToStreamAsync(memoryStream); // Unauthorized exception is thrown here
var httpResponseMessage = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK) {
Content = new ByteArrayContent(memoryStream.ToArray())
};
httpResponseMessage.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "max-age=31536000"); //31536000 seconds ~ 1 year
httpResponseMessage.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("image/jpeg");
return httpResponseMessage;
}
}
The Azure Function App has a system assigned managed identity which has Storage Blob Data Contributor role for the target blob’s entire storage account.
