Question

I was trying to create a fileshare in Azure using Azure CLI but it is throwing an error:

The server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed AuthenticationFailedServer failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. RequestId:42b399c2-701a-006f-4630-1d9aad000000 Time:2020-04-28T07:39:27.0899771ZThe MAC signature found in the HTTP request 'QVn0bi79ZIhaO+LS3w/VzaiI5cAMfJiVRav6RbgfbtA=' is not the same as any computed signature.

Can anyone help me with this?

To rectify this error, firstly you need to retrieve the key with a right format, and to do that use this command:

$key1 = az storage account keys list --account-name storeactjan --query "[0].value" | tr -d '"'

After that, create your file share.

az storage share create --account-name storeactjan --name filesharejan --account-key $key1

I hope this will helps.
