During development of provider hosted app, while deployment I was greeted with error : Web deployment task failed. (Connected to the remote computer ("waws-prod-hk1-001.publish.azurewebsites.windows.net") using the Web Management Service, but could not authorize. Make sure that you are using the correct user name and password, that the site you are connecting to exists, and that the credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the site.  Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED.)

The parameter 'token' cannot be a null or empty string - Provider Hosted App SharePoint 2013

Hi, Today while my research on SharePoint Provider hosted app with Azure, after deployment I was greeted with "The parameter 'token' cannot be a null or empty string ". I was almost crazy behind finding the cause. However finally I found some points which leads me to resolve this error. The ClientID in your AppManifest.xml and in your Web.Config should be same. In AppManifest.xml file domain reference to Azure should be HTTPS rather than HTTP. Should have proper permission on web,list,site collection according to your app.    Happy coding!
