I get this error when trying to upload files to blob storage. The error is present both when I run on localhost and when I run in Azure Function.

My connection string looks like: DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=xxx;AccountKey=xxx;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

Authentication information is not given in the correct format. Check the value of the Authorization header. Time:2021-10-14T15:56:26.7659660Z Status: 400 (Authentication information is not given in the correct format. Check the value of Authorization header.) ErrorCode: InvalidAuthenticationInfo

But this used to work in the past but recently its started throwing this error for a new storage account I created. My code looks like below

    public AzureStorageService(IOptions<AzureStorageSettings> options)
    {
        _connectionString = options.Value.ConnectionString;
        _containerName = options.Value.ImageContainer;
        _sasCredential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(options.Value.AccountName, options.Value.Key);
        _blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(new BlobServiceClient(_connectionString).Uri, _sasCredential);
        _containerClient = _blobServiceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(_containerName);
    }
    public async Task<string> UploadFileAsync(IFormFile file, string location, bool publicAccess = true)
    {
        try
        {
            
            await _containerClient.CreateIfNotExistsAsync(publicAccess
                ? PublicAccessType.Blob
            : PublicAccessType.None);

            var blobClient = _containerClient.GetBlobClient(location);
            
            await using var fileStream = file.OpenReadStream();

            // throws Exception here
            await blobClient.UploadAsync(fileStream, true);

            return blobClient.Uri.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e);
            throw;
        }
    }
    // To be able to do this, I have to create the container client via the blobService client which was created along with the SharedStorageKeyCredential
    public Uri GetSasContainerUri()
    {
        if (_containerClient.CanGenerateSasUri)
        {
            // Create a SAS token that's valid for one hour.
            var sasBuilder = new BlobSasBuilder()
            {
                BlobContainerName = _containerClient.Name,
                Resource = "c"
            };

            sasBuilder.ExpiresOn = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddHours(1);
            sasBuilder.SetPermissions(BlobContainerSasPermissions.Write);

            var sasUri = _containerClient.GenerateSasUri(sasBuilder);
            Console.WriteLine("SAS URI for blob container is: {0}", sasUri);
            Console.WriteLine();

            return sasUri;
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(@"BlobContainerClient must be authorized with Shared Key 
                      credentials to create a service SAS.");
            return null;
        }
    }

CodePudding user response：

Please change the following line of code:

_blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(new BlobServiceClient(_connectionString).Uri, _sasCredential);

to

_blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(_connectionString);

Considering your connection string has all the necessary information, you don't really need to do all the things you're doing and you will be using BlobServiceClient(String) constructor which expects and accepts the connection string.

You can also delete the following line of code:

_sasCredential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(options.Value.AccountName, options.Value.Key);

and can probably get rid of AccountName and Key from your configuration settings if they are not used elsewhere.
