Overview
Before using eXtendFiles with Microsoft Azure, you need to configure settings in both NetSuite and Microsoft Azure. The configuration must be carried out by a user with an Administrator role in NetSuite and a user with Administrator access to Microsoft Azure
Configuration
Microsoft Azure Configuration
The information below will guide you through important steps when creating a storage account and container, as well as finding the access key of your Azure storage account:
- Create a storage account
- Create a container
- After creating your storage account and container, find your Azure access keys:
- In Microsoft Azure, navigate to Home → Storage accounts → your storage account name → Access keys.
In this example above, the Storage account is "your storage account name". You can use either of the two keys shown in the "Access keys" section for configuring the eXtendFiles Setup page.
NetSuite Configuration
The steps below will be
performed from within your NetSuite
account.
1. Go to eXtendTech → eXtendFiles → Setup.
2. Select Azure as the Storage Type.
3. Select the Azure sublist under the Storage Information subtab.
4. Define the
fields below with the information
from your Azure account and Save the eXtendFiles Setup page.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME | Specify the storage account
name. |
| AZURE ACCESS KEY | Specify the access key of your
storage account. |
| AZURE CONTAINER | Specify the Azure container name
which will be used for storing
uploaded files. |
| AZURE ADDITIONAL CONTAINERS | Specify any additional Azure container names
which will be used for storing

Troubleshooting
If you encounter an error message saying "Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature." while trying to upload a file after connecting to Microsoft Azure, ensure that the correct access key from Azure has been entered into the AZURE ACCESS KEY field on the eXtendFiles Setup page.
