ACS : Powershell commands with Appfabriclabs / Proxy

The ACS team have just announced a set of Powershell commands for ACS.

See here.

Two small problems - they work for ACS but not for Appfabriclabs and ,secondly, they don't work for people who have to work behind a proxy.

Some quick changes to the provided VS project should have you running in no time.

For Appfabriclabs:

In Constants.cs

//public const string AcsHostName = "accesscontrol.windows.net";
public const string AcsHostName = "accesscontrol.appfabriclabs.com";

For the proxy:

In ServiceManagementWrapper.cs - just add the proxy code below.

private string GetTokenFromACS()
{
    var client = new WebClient();

    WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("1.2.3.4", 1234);
            
    proxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = true;
    proxy.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
          
    client.Proxy = proxy;

    client.BaseAddress = string.Format("https://{0}.{1}", this.serviceNamespace,
    Constants.AcsHostName);

    ...
}

Then rerun the startHere.cmd to update and install the plugin.

Enjoy!
