Generate Keys For Auto-renewable Subscriptions Average ratng: 3,7/5 9506 reviews
-->I had a question about auto-renewable subscriptions - can the same subscription be shared across iOS and Mac apps? I have an app in both iOS and Mac app stores, and they share the same functionality. Wifi Password Generator - WEP Key app helps you generate secure password for your wireless network. It generates 64 bit and 128 bit secure WEP key. All you need to do is enter a simple passphrase that you can easily remember. The app will automatically generate secure WEP keys for your Wi-Fi route.
When you create a storage account, Azure generates two 512-bit storage account access keys. These keys can be used to authorize access to data in your storage account via Shared Key authorization.
Microsoft recommends that you use Azure Key Vault to manage your access keys, and that you regularly rotate and regenerate your keys. Using Azure Key Vault makes it easy to rotate your keys without interruption to your applications. You can also manually rotate your keys.
Protect your access keys
Your storage account access keys are similar to a root password for your storage account. Always be careful to protect your access keys. Use Azure Key Vault to manage and rotate your keys securely. Avoid distributing access keys to other users, hard-coding them, or saving them anywhere in plain text that is accessible to others. Rotate your keys if you believe they may have been compromised.
If possible, use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to authorize requests to Blob and Queue storage instead of Shared Key. Azure AD provides superior security and ease of use over Shared Key. For more information about authorizing access to data with Azure AD, see Authorize access to Azure blobs and queues using Azure Active Directory.
View access keys and connection string
To view and copy your storage account access keys or connection string from the Azure portal:
Navigate to the Azure portal.
Locate your storage account.
Under Settings, select Access keys. Your account access keys appear, as well as the complete connection string for each key.
Find the Key value under key1, and click the Copy button to copy the account key.
Alternately, you can copy the entire connection string. Find the Connection string value under key1, and click the Copy button to copy the connection string.
You can use either key to access Azure Storage, but in general it's a good practice to use the first key, and reserve the use of the second key for when you are rotating keys.
To view or read an account's access keys, the user must either be a Service Administrator, or must be assigned an RBAC role that includes the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listkeys/action. Some built-in RBAC roles that include this action are the Owner, Contributor, and Storage Account Key Operator Service Role roles. For more information about the Service Administrator role, see Classic subscription administrator roles, Azure RBAC roles, and Azure AD roles. For detailed information about built-in roles for Azure Storage, see the Storage section in Azure built-in roles for Azure RBAC.
Use Azure Key Vault to manage your access keys
Microsoft recommends using Azure Key Vault to manage and rotate your access keys. Your application can securely access your keys in Key Vault, so that you can avoid storing them with your application code. For more information about using Key Vault for key management, see the following articles:
Manually rotate access keys
Microsoft recommends that you rotate your access keys periodically to help keep your storage account secure. If possible, use Azure Key Vault to manage your access keys. If you are not using Key Vault, you will need to rotate your keys manually.
Generate random key. Two access keys are assigned so that you can rotate your keys. Having two keys ensures that your application maintains access to Azure Storage throughout the process.
Warning
Regenerating your access keys can affect any applications or Azure services that are dependent on the storage account key. Any clients that use the account key to access the storage account must be updated to use the new key, including media services, cloud, desktop and mobile applications, and graphical user interface applications for Azure Storage, such as Azure Storage Explorer.
Follow this process to rotate your storage account keys:
- Update the connection strings in your application code to use the secondary key.
- Regenerate the primary access key for your storage account. On the Access Keys blade in the Azure portal, click Regenerate Key1, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to generate a new key.
- Update the connection strings in your code to reference the new primary access key.
- Regenerate the secondary access key in the same manner.
Note
Microsoft recommends using only one of the keys in all of your applications at the same time. If you use Key 1 in some places and Key 2 in others, you will not be able to rotate your keys without some application losing access.
To rotate an account's access keys, the user must either be a Service Administrator, or must be assigned an RBAC role that includes the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/regeneratekey/action. Some built-in RBAC roles that include this action are the Owner, Contributor, and Storage Account Key Operator Service Role roles. For more information about the Service Administrator role, see Classic subscription administrator roles, Azure RBAC roles, and Azure AD roles. For detailed information about built-in RBAC roles for Azure Storage, see the Storage section in Azure built-in roles for Azure RBAC.
