How to fix connection error between amazon developer console and visual studio code? - alexa

I can't download the profile code created in the Alexa Skill Toolkit, whenever I try to download it to the IDE I'm asked for a credential that didn't appear before.
The error shown below is this:
It is expected that when downloading the skill connected to the amazon developer account, the extension in visual studio code creates a remote connection between the IDE and the skill hosted on amazon.

Visual Studio SSRS data source: Windows authentication - Use this user name and password

I am using Visual Studio 2015 with SSDT to develop reports with Report Services project. I would like to create Shared Data Sources that use "Windows Authentication with a specific user name and password" in this VS SSRS project, (not "Windows Authentication with integrated security", which authenticates as my user account).
The data source is setup the desired way on the report portal already ("Windows with stored USER and PWD"). But I want it configured this way in the Visual Studio project so that all developers can open the project & develop with the data source connections, and also so that deployment of the project files to the server is more accurate. I don't want to have to deploy it with "Windows integrated" then go the portal and manually configure the Shared Datasource-- that is a more error-prone deployment method.
It looks like the "Data Source Properties" screen is very similar for Report Builder and Visual Studio-- except Visual Studio is missing the missing the "Use as Windows credentials" checkbox option.
Does anyone have an answer for this Visual Studio option on the Data Source Property for "Windows Authentication with a specific user name and password"?
****Here are some screenshots:****
VisualStudio-SharedDatasource-Properties.png --> option missing
VisualStudio-Datasource-SQLServer-AuthenticationOptions --> We are not using SQL Server User in our environment, it is Windows user.
ReportBuilder-rdl-Datasource-DatasourceProperties.png --> option is there
ReportPortal-SharedDatasource-Properties.png --> option is there
Hi #SherlockSpreadsheets,
I can bring you a workaround: Choice "Windows Authentication" and then add the required credentials at Credential Manager with the below steps:
Open Control Panel.
Open User Accounts.
Click Manage My Network Passwords on the Related Tasks panel (on the
left side of the window). You'll get a dialog box listing all of
your stored usernames and passwords. Add another username and
password, or remove the existing ones or change their properties.

Error configuring the RAD WAS Portal runtime for a new server instance

I have installed IBM Rational Application Developer version 9.1 from the installation media. The media launches and installs the IBM Installation manager and I've selected the RAD 9.1 package for install. Among the options, I've requested that the "WebSphere Application Server v8.5" be installed, as well as the "WebSphere Portal Server v8.5" and all the options underneath.
Once I launch RAD, I go to the server tab (as instructed by the IBM Portal Developer course) and attempt to create a new WebSphere Portal server. The server wizard wants to know where the installation directory of the server runtimes are located for both WAS 8.5 and Portal 8.5.
For WAS this is simple, I point to the profile "AppSrv01" at the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v85_stub\profiles\AppSrv01
For the Portal Server, I assume there would be a default profile created, but there is not. There are several directories inside the stub directory, but no profiles. The best I can do is provide the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\portal_v85_stub
Seems straightforward right? It complains of the following problem:
The Portal Server installation directory is not correct
Am I missing something here? Are there fix packs I need? Is the portal server runtime included with RAD 9.1 not enough to create and use a local portal server? DO I need to simply create a profile and if so where is the tool needed to do so? (I really really wish someone from IBM would explain this to me and how I am supposed to be indicated to the correct course of action)
IBM is, as usual, being very straightforward and easy to use/understand. Does anyone have any ideas about how I am supposed to proceed? The IBM Developer course that was bought and paid for assumes this step already and before you suggest it, yes I've already sent and am awaiting a response from the organization I am taking the course from.
Not sure I'm getting your description right. From what I can see, you installed RAD using IM from a media. Also, you selected WebSphere Application Server development tools and all underneath it as well as WebSphere Portal development tools.
These development tools options are stubs only, not the actual servers. With this I mean that they're useful for development and compiling purposes only, but not for deployment and testing because they are not the actual servers.
Here is the part that I don't understand. In the media that has IM and RAD, does it also have WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server available for installation? If not, then you need to get them and install them and then your can create the servers pointing to the install location of both servers in RAD. Once you do this, you can use RAD to create the profiles.
Hope this helps.
A few things, Install portal by itself and DO NOT install to a C:\Program Files make it something short like c:\IBM\WebSphere
it sounds like only portal stub got installed, did you have the portal media available as well.
If you install it using the same installation manager, RAD will be able to find it

SQL Server permission error after publishing website from visual studio 2015

Having all sorts of problems after publishing website from VS2015.
My Site has been working fine when run from within VS2015. However, I followed some instructions to Publish the website to my IIS and now the site Login page comes up but after entering user/password the application fails to make connection to the database and shows the error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in impersonating the client. The connection will be closed.
I am running Windows 8.1, SQL Server 2008/R2, Visual Studio 2015 and the Database connect string is:
I do NOT currently have Database User I am simply connecting using Windows Integrated authentication.
I think it's some kind of permissions error, can someone please assist ?
The website is using the AppPool identity to connect to the SQL database. By default the AppPool uses a Built-in Account.
You can change the AppPool to use a custom domain account which as rights to the database.

How to Successfully Deploy a Lightswitch 2013 HTML App to Azure with a Linked SQL Server database?

I've created a Lightswitch HTML application in VS 2013. It relies on a SQL Server database which was created locally and then uploaded to Azure. The database was then linked to the Azure web site.
I tested my database connection strings in the publish routine and they succeeded. The publish succeeded, but when I browse my azure URL, I receive the following message:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page.
What must be done to remedy this error?
I had a similar problem that would not resolve until I moved to a "Pay-As-You-Go" subscription rather than a "Free Trial".
I also had the same problem, but did NOT have to move to a "Pay-As-You-Go" subscription to get it working. Here was what I had to do.
The Azure management portal will tell you that the Site URL is something like https://mywebsite.azurewebsites.net/
but to test a Lightswitch HTML5 client application, the URL in Azure will actually be https://mywebsite.azurewebsites.net/HTMLClient/
Hope that helps.

error creating application to be deployed with ClickOnce within our network via FTP

I am trying to set up an application to be deployed with ClickOnce within our network via FTP. I am using C# in Visual Studio 2012 update 3. In the Publish tab of the properties of the Winform app, I have a file share specified as the "Publishing Folder Location". The "Installation Folder" is blank as well as the "Update Location" in the Application Updates page. I have the "The application is available offline as well" radio button checked although I've tried it both ways.
The error message I get is:
Error 1 Failed to connect to '\servername\shares\DATA...\MyProjectPublishFolder\' with the following error: Unable to create the Web site '\servername\shares\DATA...\MyProjectPublishFolder'. Unable to create the Web site location '\servername\shares\DATA...\MyProjectPublishFolder'. Access is denied.
This implies it is trying to set up a web site. I was wanting to deploy via FTP. I cannot see any setting where I can specify FTP.
I found:
Trying to deploy clickonce app to FTP site but getting FrontPage Server Extensions not installed Error
but that fix didn't help. Any other pointers are welcome.
Ok, I was confused, The developer can "Publish" the application using a Web Server, an FTP Server or a file path. The user can "Download" the application using a Web Server, a File Share, or Removable Media (i.e.: DVD).
