Kudu Rest Api Credential issue for VFS.

[kevinneufeld]

$username = "`$website"
$password = "pwd"
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))

$apiUrl = "https://{sitename}.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method GET -ContentType "application/json";

Following your PS example with a the following change:

• Endpoint: api/vfs/site/wwwroot/
• ContentType: "application/json"

I have tried 4 different sets of Credentials:

1. Deployment Credentials (my azure creds)
2. Deployment Credentials (azure AD creds)
3. PublishProfile
4. Site's own deployment creds.

It either returns a 401 or i get the contents of the redirect page to login.

Must be something simple I am missing.

Please see https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Deployment-credentials for details on the two kind of credentials that are valid to talk to the scm site.

Also, to isolate from PowerShell, please first test your credentials by going to https://{sitename}.scm.azurewebsites.net/basicauth in the browser.
