How to use memcache virtual machine

Question

I've created a memcache virtual machine on my subscription using the memcached image

Now in the details I see an IP address, but can't find a username or password. I've scoured the net in search of what to do now but come up blank. Can I please get some help on what to do next? For reference we are currently using memcachier with enyimcache client on appharbor. I'm hoping we can migrate without having to change clients.

Answer 1

Hello @Brent Mills ,
Hope you have chosen Authentication Type as Password instead of SSH Public key at the time of VM creation ?
You can find the username by using the below command:
(Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName <resourcegroupname> -Name <VMname>).OsProfile.AdminUserName

Once you have the username , you can reset the password of that user using the Reset Password option from Azure Portal VM options.
(or)
You can use the same view to create a new user and new password

Shiva.

I then try and connect to that VM with the Enyim cache client but predictably I don't get any key value pairs being return. My connection code looks like this:

where the parameters are specified in web.config here:

Can you please advise what server name and port I should be using to connect like this? I'm feeling a bit lost currently, perhaps there's some tutorials out there on how to use memcache in azure?
