SQL Azure Firewall Rules on New Portal

5
votes

We've been using SQL Azure for about a year now. In order to directly access the server outside of Azure you need to add a firewall rule in SQL Azure. That's good.

The old portal had a way to do this and it was easy enough even if it was icky Silverlight.

However, as far as I can tell, the old Silverlight portal is retired. And the new portal does NOT have a way to manage firewall rules. Am I missing something?

Microsoft still says you can access the "current portal" here, but clicking it takes you to the new one: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/features/portals/

  2. In the datagrid under the SERVER column, click your server name.
  3. Click the Configure tab on the top.
