Hi,
I'm working on migrating our VM management scripts (locally) from our current server (Win2012) to a new one (Win2016).
To manage company's subscriptions & resources, PowerShell needs to establish a connection to Azure, we use a certificate based authentication / SPN, this is where the issue lies.
PowerShell fails to connect using Connect-AZaccount cmdlet:
Debug:
The self-signed certificate I've created for the new server was installed & tested on current one, it works fine. The new server is behind a firewall & a proxy, so no access to standard internet, only a few ports are open , AZ modules were copied manually from current one to it. PowerShell v5.1 | Az.accounts v2.2.5 | Ping login.microsoftonline.com -> success Could you please share any ideas that might help solve this issue? I'm open to any suggestion and/or further testing. Feel free to let me know should more details be provided. Thanks in advance! Mounir
Hello Mounir
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.
Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
This issue needs deeper investigation. Support team will be able to check and help on this. I would recommend you to open a azure support case.
Update: The traffic was not opened to Azure, it was getting dropped at firewall level. The issue was solved after hooking up the server with the correct proxy configuration. Regards
Hello Mounir Thanks for sharing the resolution for the benefit of community.
