AzureDeploy template fails because SAS is a secure string

[jimoneil]

I'd been getting 404 errors when the WebAppWebDeploy/AzureDeploy template tried to access the packageUri. After some trial-and-error, I discovered that it works fine as long as the following line in Deploy-AzureResourceGroup.ps1 is commented/removed:

$ArtifactsLocationSasToken = ConvertTo-SecureString $ArtifactsLocationSasToken -AsPlainText -Force

I tried using the template function string() to wrap the _parameters('artifactsLocationSasToken') reference, but that didn't seem to work.

Lastly, since the -Permission Container switch is used on New-AzureStorageContainer, why generate a SAS token at all. FWIW, I just changed the switch value to Off.

This was a cut-and-paste issue on my part, I had set the type of _artifactsLocationSasToken' to string versus securestring

Still curious on the container permissions though
