Question

User-967720686 posted

Hi,

I've a vm role hosting my web application which call's rest management api's. I have generated a management certificate (.cer) in the vm and uploaded it to my subscription. The problem I have is when I call rest api's like "Create Virtual Machine Deployment" i get 403 (Forbidden) from the server.

This is not happening when I am call the api's using windows forms application (Test app) on the vm role or when I m using my development enviroment (for dev i've generated and uploaded the certificate freom my machine).

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Farhan

Couple of questions:

1. The api's that you are calling, are they hosted as a service? If so, is it WCF/asmx Service?
2. On the server you are hosting it, are you using IIS? If so, what version?

Not sure why exactly that is happening. Run 

aspnet_regiis -i

in command prompt on the server and try again perhaps?
