I see Microsoft have released Application Initialization as part of IIS 8.0. Unfortunately it isn't enabled in the Web Role by default. (by that I mean, "Application Initialization" as a feature of the web server role is not enabled. I know the Web Role has IIS 8.) Does anyone know how I can enable this from a start-up script? I've already a number of start-up scripts, but I'm not sure how to add a server role feature. The module itself appears inside Server Manager under "Server Roles" -> "Web Server (IIS)" -> "Web Server" -> "Application Development" -> "Application Initialization". It's a

I want to move my website to Windows Azure, but need to make sure that I'm using PFS on all my instances and roles. (regular web roles and Websites as well) How do I configure this so that each deployment is automatically configured this way? Simon Opelt This excellent article by André N. Klingsheim explains detailed options for hardening the SSL/TLS configuration on Windows Server and Windows Azure. This includes Disabling SSL Enabling TLS Changing Cipher Suite Priorities The author additionally provides a NuGet package as well as related source code for handling these updates during Azure

I have an Azure web role and I want to store some settings in web.config under <appSettings> tag. Yes, I'm aware of service configuration files, yet I have reasons to prefer web.config. When I execute (from here ): System.Configuration.Configuration rootWebConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(null); if (rootWebConfig1.AppSettings.Settings.Count > 0) { } settings count is always zero although I've added a key-value pair under <appSettings> . What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to read settings from web.config from inside web role entry point? The

I have a web application that is hosted on Microsoft Azure Web-Role. How can I disable RC4 cipher? Alex S The problem I encountered using a Powershell script was that the keys that require modifying contain a forward slash and Powershell treats this as a path separator and the script fails. The solution was to create a console application and set that to run at start up: class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string[] subKeys = new string[] { "RC4 40/128", "RC4 56/128", "RC4 64/128", "RC4 128/128", }; RegistryKey parentKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey( @"SYSTEM

Using http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Deploying-Orchard-to-Windows-Azure I've successfully deployed Orchard into Azure. After every 20mins or so without activity (app pool recycle?) it takes minutes to render a page. I'm running on an Extra Small instance in Azure. Webinstance, Storage and SQL Database are all in the same datacentre - SE Asia. There is a module called keepalive, which does a regular ping. or http://blog.smarx.com/posts/controlling-application-pool-idle-timeouts-in-windows-azure Also turned off Debug(!) and put in full trust as described here http://docs

We have 3 public facing web applications which we are migrating to Azure. All sites use port 80. OPTIONS As far as I understand, there are three different options when using Web Roles: 1. All 3 sites hosted in ONE web role in a single cloud service : HTTP access can be configured by hostHeader in ServiceDefinition.csdef This is the cheapest Requires that all projects need to be published at the same time The sites cannot be scaled separately, only as a whole 1 Cloud Service project in Visual Studio 2. Each site hosted on a SEPARATE web role in a single cloud service : HTTP access can be

I understand that I can debug an Azure Web Role using the methods outlined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee405479.aspx What's the process for debugging a Windows Azure Website? I'd like to be able to step through code, set breakpoints, ect. UPDATE: The Azure portal has changed and the Application Settings blade is being retired. I think this deserves an updated answer for recent versions of the Azure Management Portal and VS. This is how I achieved remote debugging for an ASP.Net Core 2.0 API using Visual Studio 2017 Preview 7.1: Open the Azure Management Portal ,
