How to authenticate Azure storage emulator?

Question

I'm working locally, and when I navigate to 127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/ I get this error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Error>
<Code>InvalidQueryParameterValue</Code>
<Message>Value for one of the query parameters specified in the request URI is invalid. RequestId:22a76cf4-07e7-4440-90e5-cfe15909a6a1 Time:2018-10-31T21:31:18.5708147Z</Message>
<QueryParameterName>comp</QueryParameterName>
<QueryParameterValue/>
<Reason/>
</Error>

I'm able to start the storage emulator with no problem, here's the status of my storage emulator;

Windows Azure Storage Emulator 5.8.0.0 command line tool
IsRunning: True
BlobEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10000/
QueueEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10001/
TableEndpoint: http://127.0.0.1:10002/

Answer 1

After executing the emulator, in the storage explorer, click the option in the screenshot-> Attach to a local emulator->Next->Next->Connect.

This is your local account.
