unable to upload a self-signed certificate to our azure app registration

Question

I have this script to generate a self-signed certificate:-

PS C:\Users\Administrator> New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation cert:\localmachine\my -DnsName "SPGPIntegration-Test"                                                                               



PS C:\Users\Administrator> Export-PfxCertificate -cert Cert:\LocalMachine\my\99CE213D84E71DFFE4D34E970162C6D4D6201D25 -FilePath "C:\certificates\SPGPIntegration-Test.pfx" -Password $pwd


                                                                                                                                 



PS C:\Users\Administrator> Export-PfxCertificate -cert Cert:\LocalMachine\my\99CE213D84E71DFFE4D34E970162C6D4D6201D25 -FilePath "C:\certificates\SPGPIntegration-Test.crt" -Password $pwd

Then i tried to upload the generated .crt file inside the >> inside our azure app registration >> but got this error:-

so the error is saying to upload the crt file and i am doing so... any advice?

Thanks

Hi @john john Pter

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Microsoft strongly recommends using a "real" certificate rather than a self-signed one, but you should be fine using it for testing purposes.

The documentation below has the details about creating the certificate, let me know if you can create and upload it after checking it:
