Adding a custom domain name for a table storage in Azure

Question

Hi, 

We would like to configure a custom domain name to access a particular Table Storage in windows Azure. I have seen how to perform this for a blob access but I cannot find something similar to access table storage. 

http://azure.microsoft.com/es-es/documentation/articles/storage-custom-domain-name/

The idea would be to have something like this:

https://<mycustomname>.<mydomain>.com pointing at https://<storagename> .table.core.windows.net

Is this possible?

Best Regards,

Alfonso.

Answer 1

hi，

As far as I know, Windows Azure storage does support HTTPs endpoint so blob can be accessed over HTTPS however you can not add your own or 3rd party SSL certificate to your Windows Azure Storage endpoint.

I suggest you could submit a feature request on this page:http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/forums/34192-windows-azure-feature-voting

Hi Will,

Thanks a lot for your response. I was wondering if it would be possible to have this custom domain name only for HTTP. This will also work for us, we could remove the HTTPS requierement if we are able to access directly a table from our custom domain name via HTTP. Do You think this is possible?

Alfonso.

Answer 3

Hi Alfonso,

Sorry for the misleading information from my first post. We only could custom azure blob storage domain name. But for azure table storage, we don't map it and custom the domain name.

You could use a custom CNAME within your DNS setup that points to your storage account, so long as it only uses HTTP.

For example, I add a table CNAME to my DNS, and now I can use table.Mydomain.com to access account mytablestoragename.table.core.windows.net

C:\Users\Account>nslookup
Default Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

> table.mydomain.com
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    table.ch5prdstr01b.store.core.windows.net
Address:  168.62.96.144
Aliases:  table.mydomain.com
          mytablestoragename.table.core.windows.net

It should work...  I haven't tried accessing the tables with every possible operation....  give it a try!
