Can't get private azure blob

[sdhunna21]

I have django-storages working fine with azure blob storage if I set the container access level to blob anonymous. If I change the container access level to private, I can still upload files, however when I attempt to get them, I get an XML message that says ResourceNotFound.

In the documentation the only change I think I need to make in the settings is to have a value for AZURE_URL_EXPIRATION_SECS. I've set it to 600. The URL I see in the address bar is the same as it was for public blob. I thought it would be a temporary looking url.

Here's the full error:

<Error>
<Code>ResourceNotFound</Code>
<Message>The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:bb948def-801e-0051-474f-a96d6e000000 Time:2020-10-23T15:18:33.7048784Z</Message>
</Error>

Here are my settings (with my data removed):

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.azure_storage.AzureStorage'
AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME = "<my account>"
AZURE_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = f'{AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME}.blob.core.windows.net'
AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY = "<my key>"
AZURE_CONTAINER = "<my cont>"
MEDIA_URL = f'https://{AZURE_CUSTOM_DOMAIN}/{AZURE_CONTAINER}/'
AZURE_URL_EXPIRATION_SECS = '600'

Here are the versions I'm using:

django-storages==1.10.1
Django==3.1.2
azure-common==1.1.25
azure-storage-blob==2.1.0
azure-storage-common==2.1.0

@sdhunna21
I am also trying to access private blob in my django app. It worked as intended when the access level to my blob was anonymous. Could you suggest the changes if you have made it to work?

Thank you.

Having the same issue as well. Only works with blob access anonymous.

I suspect this is because you are using a string for the expiration instead of a int.
Try replacing

AZURE_URL_EXPIRATION_SECS = '600'

by

AZURE_URL_EXPIRATION_SECS = 600

If you don't want to use the account key, you need to set the AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIAL setting (#1063), or the AZURE_SAS_TOKEN setting. This may be needed, not sure.
