Azure-Storage-Blob Python SDK Linux

AIsignQA 0

I am trying to use the Azure-Storage-Blob Python SDK to upload documents to Azure from a website. If I run the script from Windows everything works as expected. If I run the script from Linux (Ubuntu) the script fails with AutenticationError.

Hi AIsignQA,

It could be due to differences in the authentication mechanisms or configurations in Linux environments and how your authentication credentials are set up when running the script on Linux compared to Windows.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Ensure that the authentication credentials (such as account name and account key or SAS token) used in the script are correct and valid for the Azure Storage account.

Make sure that all necessary dependencies and libraries required by the Azure-Storage-Blob SDK are installed on the Linux machine. Check for any missing packages that could be causing authentication errors.

Verify that the credentials are being passed correctly in the Linux environment and there are no typos or formatting issues. Ensure that the necessary environment variables are set on your Linux machine.

Check if there are any proxy settings or network configurations on the Linux machine that might be affecting the authentication process. Ensure that the Linux environment has access to the Azure services and endpoints.

Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Azure-Storage-Blob Python SDK that is compatible with both Linux environments. Update the SDK if needed to address any compatibility issues.

Add debug statements or logging to your Python script to capture more details about the authentication process and any errors that occur.

Reference:

Authorize access and connect to Blob Storage.

Access Azure Storage using the Azure libraries for Python.

Kindly let me know if these steps help you to resolve the AuthenticationError when running script on Ubuntu. Should you continue to experience any issues, please don't hesitate to provide additional details so that we may assist you further.

Hello,

One thing to check is whether the Azure credentials (like the connection string or EntraID authentication) are correctly configured on your Linux system. Ensure that any environment variables or credentials files needed for authentication are properly set up on Ubuntu. Sometimes, differences in how the OS handles environment variables or permissions can cause this issue.

hope it helps!
