Cloudguard mount Cloud file system

[H4ppyM3]

Dear All,

is it possible to mount a cloud file system ( Azure ) into Managment station ? 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-linux?tabs=smb311

After creating a file share I recieved an bash script to execute however it does not work:

==========start script============
#!/bin/bash

sudo mkdir /mnt/checkpointbackup
if [ ! -d "/etc/smbcredentials" ]; then
sudo mkdir /etc/smbcredentials
fi
if [ ! -f "/etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred" ]; then
sudo bash -c 'echo "username=fflfddfdfdlfdfdlldfldfldfldd" >> /etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred'
sudo bash -c 'echo "password=blblablalalabbalalbkalalbalala==" >> /etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred'
fi
sudo chmod 600 /etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred

sudo bash -c 'echo "//checkpointrulebasebackup.file.core.windows.net/checkpointbackup /mnt/checkpointbackup cifs nofail,credentials=/etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,serverino,nosharesock,actimeo=30" >> /etc/fstab'
sudo mount -t cifs //checkpointrulebasebackup.file.core.windows.net/checkpointbackup /mnt/checkpointbackup -o credentials=/etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,serverino,nosharesock,actimeo=30

==========end script=============

[Expert@SMS:0]# mount -t cifs //checkpointrulebasebackup.file.core.windows.net/checkpointbackup /mnt/checkpointbackup -o credentials=/etc/smbcredentials/checkpointrulebasebackup.cred,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,serverino,nosharesock,actimeo=30
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Any suggestions ?

thank you !!

Not sure if you can use a "credentials" file like that.
Having said that, mount should work for CIFS filesystems, not precisely sure exactly how it works in Azure, of course.

Tried sudo already ? Permission denied is mostly resolved by it.

[H4ppyM3]

yes, tried with sudo as well. same result.

GAiA has SMB 2.1, but neither SMB 3.1.1 nor SMB 3.0 is supported. So better ask Microsoft !

I was able to mount a share from a R81.10 Mng Server. Make sure the Firewall settings for the Storage account allow public IPs  (or at least the public IP you are connecting from) or change the routing for the subnet, the Management Server is located in (Service Endpoints -> Add Microsoft.Storage)

Thank you Matthias_Haas - this was the blocking point as also changing in Azure to SMB to 2.1/

Thanks.
