The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request

Question

 I am attempting to implement this example:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512426.aspx

here is my request:

<s:Authority xmlns:s='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sitka/2008/03/'>

<s:Id>CreateAuthorityTest01</s:Id>

</s:Authority>

And getting simply: {"The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."}

Has anyone else tried the sample listed above?

Thanks,

RogerG:

This is from page 14 of the PDF docs (CloudDBExternalSvc.pdf) I have:

Note When creating an authority, the AuthorityId must contain only lowercase letters, numbers or dashes.

In your example, using lowercase for all letters should do the trick.

Ahrrggg... busted, I did not read word for word.

Thanks!

Answer 3

Just to add further clarification, The reason for this is because when you create an Authority, we provision a DNS name. So if I were to create an Authority named ssdsrocks, the service would provision a DNS name of ssdsrocks.data.beta.mssds.com.

HTH,
