I\u2019m doing to test work in the lab with Microsoft Azure at the moment, trying to tell which part of Microsoft is telling the truth about certain aspects of pricing. A necessary step in my tests was to upload an administrative certificate. I used MAKECERT to create the cert. The private cert is in Personal on the server that I\u2019m working with. The public cert was on my PC. I opened the Azure portal and attempted to Manage Certificate to upload the .CER file but this failed after about 5 seconds. Recreate the cert, try again, fail again. No joy.<\/p>\n
Then after I taught some of my Eastern European colleagues some new ways to swear in English, I had a realization that some dev in Microsoft probably did something dumb.<\/p>\n
\nI bet they expect the private cert to be installed on the machine that you\u2019re uploading the cert from \u2026 because we all browse from our servers, right? (WRONG, I hope).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
So I exported the PFX to my PC, imported the cert, and attempted the upload again. And it finally worked. <\/p>\n
Dumb. I can imagine \u201cprivate\u201d certs flying all around the network, and admins browsing from servers if this isn\u2019t fixed by Microsoft.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, my colleagues now are equipped with the verbiage to accompany flipping off your PC with the double bird.<\/p>\n
