x-ms-request-id |
A value that uniquely identifies a request made against the Management service. For an asynchronous operation, you can call Get Operation Status with the value of this header to determine whether the operation is complete, has failed, or is still in progress.

Remarks
Management certificates, also known as subscription certificates, are associated with a subscription rather than a service and are used to authenticate clients attempting to access resources in your Windows Azure Subscription. For more information on certificates, see Overview of Certificates in Windows Azure.
If you use Remove Management Certificate to remove the last management certificate associated with your subscription, you must use the management portal to access that subscription’s settings and services.
