Error: The Specified Resource Name Contains Invalid Characters

Issue

The connector setup fails with the following error:

The specified resource name contains invalid characters.

Environment

Connector: Azure Blob Storage

Resolution

To resolve this issue, copy the container name directly from the Azure environment.

A container name must adhere to the following naming rules:

• All letters in the name must be lowercase
• Container names must be from 3 to 63 characters long
• Names must start or end with a letter or number
• Names can contain only letters, numbers, and the dash (-) character
• Every dash character must have a letter or number immediately before and after it. The container name must not have consecutive dashes.

Cause

This error occurs when the container name contains characters that don't follow the Azure Storage container naming convention.
