    In most cases, Bot Framework Apps use Client ID + Client Secret Key to implement Bot Auth against on the registered Azure AD App. If any direct line request sent to this Bot but cannot provide correct Client ID + Client Secret Key (matched, or another correct pair), the Bot app will return unauthorized failure as well. A typical Javascript Bot Framework project, if you set MicrosoftAppPassword and MicrosoftAppId in the .env file, run this bot app, and then use Bot Framework Emulator to access the bot. If Emulator cannot provide the correct secure info, the request will fail with unauthorized errors: message:"The bot's Microsoft App ID or Microsoft App Passwo…

    At Ignite 2022 we announced general availability of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) as a part of Microsoft’s commitment to Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity.

To tell you more about the support for Azure AD CBA on mobile, I’ve invited Vimala Rangan…

    Large business scale often requires scaling Bot Framework App Instance from one to many. To make this work, the bot application needs to serialize memory info to storage, otherwise users may hit conversation state lost issues intermittently, for example, the next request doesn’t affinity on the same instance and then user feels bot doesn’t smartly follow previous conversation, or Skills Bot calling back with the same conversation ID but different instance, and root bot returns 404, etc. A typical root + skills bot infrastructure is like this: To solve this problem in Bot Framework Composer, developers can configure Bot Framework Composer project setting…

    As the IPv4 addresses are already exhausted, more and more service providers and website hosts start using the IPv6 address on their server. Although the IPv6 is a new version of IPv4, their packet headers and address format are completely different. Due to this reason, users can consider IPv6 as a different protocol from IPv4. In order to be able to communicate with a server with IPv6 protocol only, we’ll need to enable the IPv6 protocol on Service Fabric cluster and its related resources. This blog will mainly talk about how to enable this feature on Service Fabric cluster by ARM template. Prerequisite: We should be familiar with how to deploy a Servi…

    When it comes to connection pooling in the PostgreSQL, PgBouncer is probably the most popular option. It’s a very simple utility that does exactly one thing – it sits between the database and the clients and speaks the PostgreSQL protocol, emulating a PostgreSQL server. A client connects to PgBouncer with the exact same syntax it would use when connecting directly to PostgreSQL – PgBouncer is essentially invisible. Azure Database for Postgres has supported PgBouncer integration with Single Server. While this helped customers manage applications with short duration connections, the overwhelming feedback we received was to integrate PgBouncer with the managed service.…

Bacteria, viruses, or fungi may cause pneumonia. signs vary from mild to severe, depending on the type of germ, age, and overall health. Mild signs and symptoms often are similar to those of a cold or flu, but they last longer which includes chest pain, cough, fatigue, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. A traditional approach to diagnosing pneumonia includes a review of the patient’s medical history, a physical exam, and ordering diagnostic tests such as a chest X-ray. This information can help determine the type of pneumo…

    I had a customer recently ask about how to leverage the Azure Update Management Center (UMC) preview offering to update their own in-house software deployments on running Linux VMs. There’s a few different discussions that can come out of that question, including questions around whether or not they actually should be doing that long-term vs. using a CD pipeline in a modern DevOps fashion, but I thought it was an interesting to show a bit of what’s happening with the UMC under the covers a bit. This article shows an end-to-end demo of using UMC with a custom software package. Basic Infrastructure Setup This post is focusing on the details of the update side,…
