<sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="AppFabricCacheSessionStoreProvider" compressionEnabled="false">
      <providers>
        <add name="AppFabricCacheSessionStoreProvider"
             type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheSessionStateStoreProvider, Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
             cacheName="default"
             useBlobMode="true"
             dataCacheClientName="default"/>
      </providers>
    </sessionState>

<dataCacheClients>
    <dataCacheClient name="default">
      <hosts>
        <host name="http://dummyPart-cache.accesscontrol.windows.net" cachePort="22233" />
      </hosts>
      <securityProperties mode="Message">
        <messageSecurity authorizationInfo="dummykey"></messageSecurity>
      </securityProperties>
    </dataCacheClient>
    <dataCacheClient name="SslEndpoint">
      <hosts>
        <host name="https://dummyPart-cache.accesscontrol.windows.net" cachePort="22243" />
      </hosts>
      <securityProperties mode="Message" sslEnabled="true">
        <messageSecurity authorizationInfo="dummykey"></messageSecurity>
      </securityProperties>
    </dataCacheClient>
  </dataCacheClients>

Got it, was using http:// in host name.

<host name="https://dummyPart-cache.accesscontrol.windows.net" cachePort="22243" />

it should be

<host name="dummyPart-cache.accesscontrol.windows.net" cachePort="22243" />
