I am having trouble accessing Sharepoint apps running on Azure from the internet.
I have a simple Sharepoint 2013 farm on Microsoft Azure with one cloud service AZSQL1.cloudapp.net and 2 VMs -
AZSQL1 is for AD/SQL and AZSP1 is for Sharepoint. The domain is AZdomain and is completely separate from any on
premises networks. The Sharepoint server is set up to use AZSQL1 as its DNS server by putting 10.0.0.4 as the DNS
server address in the Ethernet properties. No subdomain was created. I have set up alternate access mapping for
AZSQL1.cloudapp.net
I have enabled Sharepoint apps and put a new CNAME record into the AZSQL1 DNS for FLZone AZdomain.com - the alias is *.app
and the target FQDN is AZSP1.AZdomain.com. I have downloaded a simple app from the Sharepoint store and added it to a demo
site.
From IE on AZSP1 I can go to site http://AZSP1/sites/mjtroot/demo1 and the app with URL http://app-
4070ed65585004.app.AZdomain.com will load and run correctly. However from the internet I access the site by
http://AZSP1.cloudapp.net/sites/mjtroot/demo1 and the app part gets a "page cannot be displayed" error since the app
URL cannnot be resolved.
Is there something I can change in AZSQL1 DNS to make this work?
