I'm trying to move some tables from SQL to Azure Table Storage. I created an MVC Website with the default authentication. I successfully connected it to my Azure SQL database. Now I want to use the table storage for authentication too, instead of the SQL database. The problem is, I cannot find my storage account's unique namespace. What, where is that namespace?

Thanks!

What do you mean by the 'storage account's unique namespace'? Could you give an example?Emily Gerner
On this link (link) writes: "Your storage account provides the unique namespace for your storage resources", under "Introducing the Azure Storage Services" section. I think an unique namespace it is something like this: "ElCamino.AspNet.Identity.AzureTable; ". The site: linkGSeriousB

Looking at a table URL, for example 'http://myaccountname.blob.core.windows.net/mytable', the 'myaccountname' will be the name of your account. Storage account names must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and may contain numbers and lowercase letters only. The storage account name must be unique on the Azure service. A list of storage accounts your own and more information about them can be found in the Azure Portal.

More information on authentication for tables can be found here and here. Manipulating and authenticating access to your tables are features built into the storage client libraries which are available in a variety of languages. Since you mention MVC, you might want to check out the .Net storage library.
