MANAGED BACKUP AND RETENTION DAYS FROM SQL TO AZURE STORAGE

Hi All,

I am trying to setup Managed Backup (to Azure BLOB Container) using SQL Server 2014 (Ent 64bit)and it is failing. I have the credential created with Identity as the Storage account name and Password set withprimary Access key.
When I run through the GUI to Enable managed backup, set the retention period, add the SQL credential (which updates the Storage URL) and I press OK, I get the follow error message back: SmartAdmin'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ObjectKeyBase'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Failed to access the storage URL 'https://[storageaccountname].blob.core.windows.net/' using credential 'MyCredName'. Provide a valid SQL Credential for the storage URL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 45207)

I Created the Maintenance plan for backups using the same SQL credential and it is working fine.
