How test Azure timer function from portal

Giostra Stefano 1

Hi to all,
I tryed to follow the doc: Manually run a non HTTP-triggered function, to test my timer Azure function, but I got: Error 403 - Forbidden everytime!

Same error if I try to test the function from the Azure Portal.
Can someone explain to me where is my fault?

Thanks.

Is your function app setted to have authentication = Function? If so, can you try by using the function key instead of the master key?

@Giostra Stefano Thanks for reaching out.

Please make sure that you are passing the x-functions-key and Content-Type as the Header in your request and not as query parameters. The issue is reproduced if you are not passing the x-functions-key value correctly as header in your request. You need to pass _master key of your function app.

HI @MayankBargali-MSFT ,
this is the curl transformation of the my Postman request:

curl --location --request POST 'https://<myfunctionapp>.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/SaveAAMetric_NextWeekOfLastYear_5rsid_1' \  
--header 'x-functions-key: <my _master key>' \  
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \  
--data-raw '{ "input": "test" }'

And the answer is

@Giostra Stefano Can you please confirm if there is no vnet configuration on your function app. I will also suggest you test it from a different network (in case if there is any proxy server that is blocking the request/changing the request) to see if you still observe the same behavior. If needed I can connect with you offline to assist you further.
