Problem

If you are using Session state provider (Windows Azure AppFabric) and configure useBlobMode=false, you might run into below error

Cause

In this case, below configuration is being used

 

       <sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="AppFabricCacheSessionStoreProvider">

      <providers>

        <add name="AppFabricCacheSessionStoreProvider"

             type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheSessionStateStoreProvider, Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"

             cacheName="default"

             useBlobMode="false"

             dataCacheClientName="default" />

      </providers>

    </sessionState>

 

useBlobMode=false is not supported scenario for cloud. The reason this mode is not supported is because, as of today, there is no control over eviction policy when cache is hosted in Windows Azure platform.

Resolution

Consider using  useBlobMode=true if you are using session state provider with Windows Azure Appfabric cache.

More Info

Current MSDN documentation does not explicitly call out this scenario and will be updated shortly.

Applies To

  • Windows Azure AppFabric Cache
  • Session State Provider (Azure)
