Error 403 Forbidden when trying to create an Azure Storage Table from Azure Websites

Question

I am getting the error below when trying to create a new table in a new Azure storage account from Azure Websites. It works when I try to do it from my local machine. It also works when I use my old Azure storage account.

System.AggregateException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2146233088 Message=One or more errors occurred.

can you share the code that fails? also does it work locally? — Amit Apple

It seems that you are using your manage keys in a wrong way.

web.config:

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="StorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=storagesample;AccountKey=nYV0gln9fT7bvY+rxu2iWAEyzPNITGkhM88J8HUoyofpK7C8fHcZc2kIZp6cKgYRUM74lHI84L50Iau1+9hPjB==" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

c# code:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
    ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);
