Azure Input Error

Question

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a file in my Azure storage utilizing the Azure Data Lake File Input tool and I keep getting the error: (BadResponseError('Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.') has type BadResponseError, but expected one of: bytes, unicode

This is interesting because I am the owner of this storage account that my file is in and have all access to the storage account and the container.

Anyone got any ideas what could be happening?

How are you connecting and providng your authentication to Alteryx? I understand that in Azure you have access to this - but perhaps you are not authenticating to Azure correctly - that message looks pretty clear. Can you check the Azure logs to see why this is being denied on the Azure end?

I am authenticated as myself. It asks me to authenticate every time I put the tool into a workflow to utilize my credentials.

hmmm - I do see this:https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/Error-BadResponseError-Request-forbidden--authorization-will-not-help-has-type-BadResponseError-but-expected-one-of-bytesUnicode

so the question would be - are you authenticated to Azure as yourself/the owner - or another account (ie a service account) - and if the later - does the service account have those permissions?
