''authority' should be in Uri format Parameter name: authority'

Question

_{Monday, August 13, 2018 4:41 AM}

Hi,

    While I am creating Azure VM based on this blog, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/csharp.

I have an error - ''authority' should be in Uri format Parameter name: authority' in Visual Studio and the debug mode points out resource group step.

Kindly, Help me to resolve this issue.

With Regards,

Vijayaprabakaran S.

Hi,

Can you please take a look at - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/3238

Or can try with token base auth - /en-us/dotnet/azure/dotnet-sdk-azure-authenticate?view=azure-dotnet#authenticate-with-token-credentials

Thanks,
