NAV 7 Cloud Tools

agentnik

Has anyone else got anywhere with these?

I've think I've managed to do quite well but am falling at the last (possibly not last) hurdle. This is what I've done:
- set up my Azure account and storage account on there
- used the cloud tools (NAV powershell) to copy the deployment files to my storage account
- worked out how to create the certificate
- used the cloud tools (NAV powershell) to copy deploy the NAV Server - which successfully creates a database server, database and NAV Server services on Azure
- connected to the database with SQL Server Mgmnt Studio
- connected to the database with the Dev environment
- I'm getting to the login screen for RTC and webclient (i.e. establishing that my connection is valid, if I could only log in)

The problem I have is I cannot log into the RTC (or the webclient) as the user is not the same as the user to log into the Dev environment or the SQL database. I have found out how I can create new users through the RTC but that's a bit of a catch-22 as I can't connect to the RTC in the first place... ](*,)

The documentation just doesn't seem to exist yet so I'm not sure what I'm meant to do...

Oh - have just found this (which is a session I definitely will be going to =D> but my boss wants a demo of NAV on Azure in the next couple of weeks ](*,) )
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=54313

which implies I need to set up users in ACS... still not sure how that will get them back into NAV...

Did you see the description of the NAV TechDays 2012 Sessions group?

Here it is

Use this forum to post questions and suggestions for content with regard to the NAV TechDays 2012 sessions.
For each conference session, one topic is created. The speakers who host the session will visit this forum regularly, review the questions and comments, and use this info to prepare their sessions. This way, you can have some influence on the content of the NAV TechDays 2012 conference.
After the conference, this forum will also be used to post any follow up questions and comments. All conference attendees will be invited to attend one or more NAV TechDays 2012 Aftercare online meetings (organized by Microsoft), where people from MDCC will respond to your feedback. These sessions will be recorded and made available for download on mibuso.com.

So please shoot your question on the above post.. :thumbsup:

I've managed to log in!! \:D/ \:D/

Turns out that ACS is not necessary to get the Demo running - obviously it will become important for real implementations but I can wait for the session above (and hopefully MS to update their documentation) to get that working.

All I needed to know was the password that was set for the NAVDEMO user that came in the SQL backup... I tried many things but could not guess it, but then managed to set up a user in my local NAV2013 Beta and copy it over using SQL scripts. The tables to look at are [User], [User Property] and [Access Control] if you are interested.

So now RTC and webclient are both working. The machine that runs the RTC needs the certificate in its private store, but the webclient just works. Awesome sauce!!

Showed it to my boss -
Him: "So how does this look different to the NAV2013 RTC for local server?"
Me: "Um, well, obviously it doesn't...".
Him: "Ok..." and wanders off ](*,)
