Storage Gen2 API in Postman

Hi ,

I am new to Azure Portal and would like to use the Azure Gen2 API to create the files on storage.

I have been able to generate the access token in Postman -

https://login.microsoftonline.com/\<tenant id>/oauth2/v2.0/token

I now have access token to be used.

Now I call -

https://storageaccountshiv.dfs.core.windows.net/blue?resource=filesystem

Headers passed are -

Authorization : Bearer {access token}
x-ms-version : 2020-12-23
Content-Length : 0

But complains
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidHeaderValue",
"message": "The value for one of the HTTP headers is not in the correct format.\nRequestId:34111c9a-d01f-0004-1787-d9cf50000000\nTime:2020-12-23T23:55:50.5175280Z"
}
}

I went through some posts and it says this is what we need to pass. Any idea what could be missing here.

This should create a folder under "Blob Containers".. Correct?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Shiv

    Hi Sumarigo,

    Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.

    So, I followed the links you shared and generated the SAS (Shared access signature) token.

    I used connection string URL from there and appended to my URL in Postman like -

    https://storageaccountshiv.dfs.core.windows.net/shiv?resource=filesystem&BlobEndpoint=https://storageaccountshiv.blob.core.windows.net/;QueueEndpoint=https://storageaccountshiv.queue.core.windows.net/;FileEndpoint=https://storageaccountshiv.file.core.windows.net/;TableEndpoint=https://storageaccountshiv.table.core.windows.net/;SharedAccessSignature=sv=2019-12-12&ss=bfqt&srt=sco&sp=rwdlacupx&se=2020-12-26T01:52:21Z&st=2020-12-25T17:52:21Z&spr=https,http&sig=hNmiAsVfOKl5WUbgZCX00hFGCLtEOuafjuO2DDHsud%2Fg%3D

    Also changed x-ms-version to 2020-04-08

    I still get the error as -

    {
    "error": {
    "code": "InvalidAuthenticationInfo",
    "message": "Authentication information is not given in the correct format. Check the value of Authorization header.\nRequestId:5f03dfc0-001f-012b-54e8-da083f000000\nTime:2020-12-25T18:06:02.8681067Z"
    }
    }

    Can we have a call for you to show me how this works.. This is little critical for us to get this going.
