What is sb protocol and how is works internally?


I have configured a notification hub using Azure portal for implementation of push notifications for mobile apps. On navigating to the Access Policies section, I see couple of policies with names: DefaultListenSharedAccessSignature and DefaultFullSharedAccessSignature as shown in the below diagram. Both the policy names contain connection string. One of the connection string is as follows:

Endpoint=sb://expedia.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=DefaultFullSharedAccessSignature;SharedAccessKey=JnVgQvxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy1HgWUfUo=

I want to understand what is sb protocol here and want to how it works internally and does it depends on HTTPS.

I have to access the above endpoint from a remote server. How to consider the above while white listing the proxy rules to allow access to the above endpoint.

Solution

  • sb is just an endpoint schema that we understand, and it's not an actual protocol. The actual protocol is https.
