Server failed to authenticate the request.

Answer 1

ERROR MESSAGE

Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

SOLUTION

I was facing the same issue in my application and i resovled it by generating a shared access signature (in azure portal) for key2 instead of key1. Changing the key fixed the error. (Settings > Shared access signature) Also keep in mind that the connection string should be updated as well - if used. (Settings > Access keys)
