Selected Content Provider Details – Azure Storage

This section allows you to configure details of the Azure Storage external content provider selected currently in the grid.

It contains the following updateable fields:

      Access key: this mandatory property can be a maximum length of 4096 characters and represents a unique access key that is used to connect to the provider.

      Storage account: this mandatory property can be a maximum length of 50 characters and represents the account name used to connect to the provider.

      Enable CDN: this checkbox is unchecked by default.  When checked, the Blob service endpoint and CDN endpoint fields are enabled.  It allows you to specify that the provider should make use of the Azure CDN (content delivery network). Note that any previously-embedded content is unaffected by the setting of this property.

      Blob service endpoint: this text property is enabled when Enable CDN is checked.  It is mandatory when enabled.  It accepts a maximum of 1000 characters.  It represents the storage account's primary blob service endpoint, from which the CDN will pull content.

      CDN endpoint: this text property is enabled when Enable CDN is checked.  It is mandatory when enabled.  It accepts a maximum of 1000 characters.  It represents the hostname of the CDN profile endpoint to be used by the provider.

Should you wish to switch on CDN support at an existing Azure storage provider, you should make sure to refresh its root folder at the File System Dialog before using any external content persisted at the provider to build RPI content.
