Accessing the Kudu service - davidni/kudu GitHub Wiki

Every Azure web site has an associated 'scm' service site, which runs both Kudu and other Site Extensions.

If your web site has URL http://mysite.azurewebsites.net/, then the root URL of the Kudu service is https://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/. Note the added scm token.

For mobile services, the site URL looks like https://myservice.scm.azure-mobile.net/, and the Kudu root URL is https://myservice.scm.azure-mobile.net/default.aspx.

Notes:

• The scm service host name is not affected by the presence of custom host names in your site. It always has the pattern above.
• The scm site uses single sign on, so if you're already logged on to the Azure portal, you will be able to go directly to it without typing additional credentials.
• If you prefer not to use Single Sign On and instead use basic auth, you can go to http://mysite.azurewebsites.net/basicauth. The scm service will prompt you for credentials. Here, you can use either the user publishing credentials (same as you use for git), or the site level credentials. See Deployment-credentials for details.

The root of the Kudu service has links to various things that can be done from there, and are discussed elsewhere in this wiki. e.g., you can:

• Get the Kudu diagnostic dump
• Launch the diagnostic console
• See info about the runtime environment
• Navigate the REST API
