***Note from Migration:***
Original Title was: Alternative URL field for Azure Blob Storage (and perhaps some more cloud-services)
At the moment, the Azure Storage Connector is permanently fixed to the default url suffix 'blob.core.windows.net'. So is the Microsoft Azure Storage Webconnector-template.
To me the usability would greatly improve when I would be able to enter an alternative URL.
Please add a URL-override field to these functionalities.
I currently work for a client which uses their own ip-adresses/subnet to access their Azure services, as part of security measures. So from the standpoint of FME Server, there is nothing interesting at blob.core.windows.net, but at some company-wide DNS-entry.
There is nothing I can do about it, but override the Microsoft-URL to the IP-address locally in the hosts-file. Overriding Microsoft URL's is tricky and from a management perspective it does not feel the way to go.
I can imagine more services / cloud infrastructure will have the same local subnet-treatment at companies, so perhaps the same can be true at companies for e.g. ArcGIS Online or the like.
Kind Regards,
Martin
