Is there azure blob credentials info json file example?

Is there azure blob credentials info json file example?

What and what parameters should I put in?

Does this help?

It shows how to create the JSON file.

Does azure cli have to be used to get json files?

I don't know... That was the way the Azure expert who wrote the docs recommended. I expect there are other ways - maybe you can download the JSON from the portal? If you find you can then we can adjust the docs.

Yes, when I downloaded the json, I checked that it is downloaded in the following data format.

{
"RoleAssignmentId": "1234-1234-1234-1234-1234",
"Scope": "/subscriptions//resourceGroups//providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts//blobServices/default/containers/",
"DisplayName": "",
"SignInName": "<SignInName == Domain User Name>",
"RoleDefinitionName": "Storage Blob Data Owner",
"RoleDefinitionId": "/subscriptions//providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions/",
"ObjectId": "",
"ObjectType": "User"
}

And does that work properly with rclone?

If so we should mention that in the docs

It doesn't work.
It continues to ask for ClientID, but even if it is executed by entering a random value in the Client value, it continues to ask for ClientID. Client_ID, ClientID, clientid... etc. are also the same. Should I post it as an issue on GitHub?

Can you post the output from rclone please?

=================================

hmm.....

I opened the source and checked and modified the json value, but a 403 error occurred, and I will check this again.

I have an additional question. I want to use Azure AD, but I want to access each user. This appid is information used as a group in Azure AD. Is there any way to do it as an individual user?

I fork and edit the source directly and go build, but I don't know if the option exists. I can't test myself..

You could use 'rclone selfupdate' to get latest features.

2021/03/12 15:12:58 Fatal error: unknown command "mount" for "rclone"

I reinstalled WinFsp (full install) and installed Mingw to set the path and test. I'm getting a directory error in Azure with error 400, but I'm watching a little more. Do you have any contributors who have worked on Azure?

I just checked the code - the service principal file should have these elements

{
"appId" : "",
"password": "",
"tenant" : "",
}

This is where the client ID setting goes - it is in the advanced config

https://rclone.org/azureblob/#azureblob-msi-client-id

This support for the JSON file was put in in this PR

You could ask the author there for help if you can't get it to work.

Are you still having these issues?
