I am working on building a remote event receiver for our SharePoint online root team site. and i am following the main approach mentioned in this link remote-event-receivers-youre-all-doing-it-wrong. where the approch worked well when i debug it using ngrok and running it from VS 2019. but when i deploy the RER inside azure web app, the RER stop working. Here are the details for the problem:-

1- Inside VS 2019 >> create a new asp.net web application >> add a .svc named rer.svc.

2- I generate the client and secret id, using this url https://****.admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx enter image description here

3- Then i access the app from the SP admin center @ https://***-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx + i add this permission:-

 <AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
 <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" />
 </AppPermissionRequests>

enter image description here

4- I updated the asp.net web.config file with the client ID + secret ID generated from step-2.

5- I create a new App service inside azure with this url https://tgrouppusrer.azurewebsites.net/rer.svc.

6- After that i deploy the asp.net web application into azure using ftp :-

enter image description here

7- I access the service https://tgrouppusrer.azurewebsites.net/rer.svc, and i got this page:- enter image description here

8- Finally i register 2 remote event receivers using this PnP script:-

Add-PnPEventReceiver -List "Project System" -Name "PUSRERupdating" -Url https://tgrouppusrer.azurewebsites.net/rer.svc -EventReceiverType ItemUpdating -Synchronization Synchronous

Add-PnPEventReceiver -List "Project System" -Name "PUSRERupdated" -Url https://tgrouppusrer.azurewebsites.net/rer.svc -EventReceiverType ItemUpdated -Synchronization Asynchronous

so on paper i should have everything working well. but when update a list item inside our "Project System" list, the RER did not have any effect. so i open the azure application server logs and once i update a list item the logs will show this error:-

The default timeout is 2 hours. Change the timeout with the App Setting SCM_LOGSTREAM_TIMEOUT (in seconds).<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>IIS Detailed Error - 404.0 - Not Found</title><style type="text/css"><!--body{margin:0;font-size:.7em;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}code{margin:0;color:#006600;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;}.config_source code{font-size:.8em;color:#000000;}pre{margin:0;font-size:1.4em;word-wrap:break-word;}ul,ol{margin:10px 0 10px 5px;}ul.first,ol.first{margin-}fieldset{padding:0 15px 10px 15px;word-break:break-all;}.summary-container fieldset{padding-bottom:5px;margin-}legend.no-expand-all{padding:2px 15px 4px 10px;margin:0 0 0 -12px;}legend{color:#333333;;margin:4px 0 8px -12px;_margin-font-weight:bold;font-size:1em;}a:link,a:visited{color:#007EFF;font-weight:bold;}a:hover{text-decoration:none;}h1{font-size:2.4em;margin:0;color:#FFF;}h2{font-size:1.7em;margin:0;color:#CC0000;}h3{font-size:1.4em;margin:10px 0 0 0;color:#CC0000;}h4{font-size:1.2em;margin:10px 0 5px 0;}#header{width:96%;margin:0 0 0 0;padding:6px 2% 6px 2%;font-family:"trebuchet MS",Verdana,sans-serif;color:#FFF;background-color:#5C87B2;}#content{margin:0 0 0 2%;;}.summary-container,.content-container{background:#FFF;width:96%;margin-padding:10px;;}.content-container p{margin:0 0 10px 0;}#details-left{width:35%;float:left;margin-right:2%;}#details-right{width:63%;float:left;}#server_version{width:96%;_height:1px;min-height:1px;margin:0 0 5px 0;padding:11px 2% 8px 2%;color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#5A7FA5;border-bottom:1px solid #C1CFDD;border-font-weight:normal;font-size:1em;color:#FFF;text-align:right;}#server_version p{margin:5px 0;}table{margin:4px 0 4px 0;width:100%;border:none;}td,th{vertical-align:top;padding:3px 0;text-align:left;font-weight:normal;border:none;}th{width:30%;text-align:right;padding-right:2%;font-weight:bold;}thead th{background-color:#ebebeb;width:25%;}#details-right th{width:20%;}table tr.alt td,table tr.alt th{}.highlight-code{color:#CC0000;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;}.clear{clear:both;}.preferred{padding:0 5px 2px 5px;font-weight:normal;background:#006633;color:#FFF;font-size:.8em;}--></style>

Generally speaking why it is trying to connect to "https://tgrouppusrer:80/rer.svc" while it should connect to "https://tgrouppusrer.azurewebsites.net/rer.svc" as specified in the PnP script to add the RER? could this be the problem?

Here is a screen shot of the above error when i save it a html:- enter image description here

also inside Kudu i can see that the rer.srv is there, as follow:-

enter image description here

Also my original web.config is as follow:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

can you share what you put on appregnew.aspx? especially App Domain and Redirect URI on that page?Chun Liu
@ChunLiu thanks for the reply. i updated the question with 2 screen shots on point 2 and point 2 which show the appregnew.aspx ..John John
@ChunLiu is the info i provided sound valid to you?John John
It's hard to see what is wrong without debugging. Maybe you can try to follow some other online tutorials from scratch, like this one or this one.Chun Liu
Did you follow the directions provided in step 7?kpie

In step #6 you show the Destination URL starting with 'http'

Instead, it should start with 'https' to reflect the other settings you are using.

Honestly, I can't even really consider this an answer, but it might be that simple.

Also, in step #3 you have a trailing slash in your Redirect URL, yet the example does not include a trailing slash, so I'd remove that as well.
