  2. Unencrypt the AdminSite and TenantSiteweb.config files with the following PowerShell Commands:

    Unprotect-MgmtSvcConfiguration adminsite
Unprotect-MgmtSvcConfiguration tenantsite

  3. Enable debug mode by adding the following app setting to the <appSettings> section of both the AdminSite and TenantSiteweb.config files.

    <add key="Microsoft.Azure.Portal.Configuration.PortalConfiguration.DevelopmentMode"       value="true" />

  4. Debug the extension JavaScript using F12 Developer Tools. For more information, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ie/bg182326(v=vs.85).
