I am getting 403 forbidden error message while connecting to azure storage from application server. I am using below code snippet to check connectivity with azure storage.
I am not sure it could be our firewall/proxy not allowing connectivity or related to SSL certificate (cert revocation). I am checking with our network team on this; any suggestion would be helpful.
string storageConnString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=azstoragel692;AccountKey=asdfas234234sdfsdf234234;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net";
var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(storageConnString);
var blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference("myContainer");
var blobsCount = container.ListBlobs().Count();
Console.WriteLine(blobsCount);
Exception:
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException: The remote server returned an e rror: (403) Forbidden. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Finally I was able to resolve this issue. It was with our enterprise proxy which was blocking the connection to Azure storage account. As I was trying to connect Azure blob storage so we had to whitelist URL *.blob.core.windows.net on the proxy.
