Problem:
When I do a dnf makecache or dnf update (on a machine that points to my pulp repo server) I sometimes get a 403 from the pulp repos as result:
$ sudo dnf makecache
AlmaLinux 9 - Extras 22 kB/s | 3.8 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 7.5 kB/s | 993 B 00:00
Microsoft Production 3.6 kB/s | 481 B 00:00
AlmaAppstream 9 - Pulp 3.1 kB/s | 489 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘AlmaAppstream’:
- Status code: 403 for pulp-contain/artifact/d8/02e917248346ab6f9bea1568105e2e90b50e9e7d75d759c83acc2116c49f4f?se=2025-06-13T16%3A47%3A13Z&sp=r&sv=2025-05-05&sr=b&rscc=no-cache&rscd=attachment%3Bfilename%3Drepomd.xml&rsct=text/xml&sig
Note: I removed the signature and the initial part of the address so it won’t link in the post
Expected outcome:
The dnf command completes without error.

Other relevant data:
This command will eventually work if I give it a few minutes. The azure network security is setup correctly to allow it to access (it eventually works if the security wasn’t setup correctly it would never work)
I don’t have any issues when I sync my repos.
Here is my config for azure storage:
MEDIA_ROOT = “”
STORAGES = {
“default”: {
“BACKEND”: “storages.backends.azure_storage.AzureStorage”,
“OPTIONS”: {
“account_name”: ‘reskitscoreccpulpstore’,
“azure_container”: ‘pulp-contain’,
“account_key”: {{{ removed }}},
“expiration_secs”: 60,
“overwrite_files”: ‘True’,
“location”: ‘’
},
},
“staticfiles”: {
“BACKEND”: “storages.backends.azure_storage.AzureStorage”,
“OPTIONS”: {
“account_name”: ‘reskitscoreccpulpstore’,
“azure_container”: ‘pulp-contain-static’,
“account_key”: {{{ removed }}},
“expiration_secs”: 60,
“overwrite_files”: ‘True’,
“location”: ‘’
},
},
}
If someone has any experience here some advice would greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
