[hashibot[bot]]

_This issue was originally opened by @Quisl as hashicorp/terraform#18683. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below._

---

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.7
+ provider.azurerm v1.7.0

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "azurerm" {
    subscription_id = "CENSORED"
    client_id       = "CENSORED"
    client_secret   = "CENSORED"
    tenant_id       = "CENSORED"
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "storage-rg"
{
  name     = "storage-prd-rg"
  location = "West Europe"

  tags
  {
    description = "contains azure resources concerning storage"
  }
}

Debug Output

https://gist.github.com/Quisl/c4275d4559e53bc5d982aff1fc733169

Expected Behavior

I expected Terraform to create a resource group in my Azure Environment.

Actual Behavior

Terraform stops executing because of a unknown certificate. Error:

• provider.azurerm: Unable to list provider registration status, it is possible that this is due to invalid credentials or the service principal does not have permission to use the Resource Manager API, Azure error: azure.BearerAuthorizer#WithAuthorization: Failed to refresh the Token for request to https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/99b15bc4-130e-432e-8b6f-3a6ccb5a52ae/providers?api-version=2017-05-10: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: adal: Failed to execute the refresh request. Error = 'Post https://login.microsoftonline.com/b9f7bf6b-2511-4987-9cf9-6e979ade93d3/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority'

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
2. terraform plan

Additional Context

I am using Debian 9 (stretch) and I sit behind a proxy server which requires me to use the companies CA Certificate for outgoing traffic. However I have added the certificate to my operating system using the

update-ca-certificates

command (curl works).

hey @Quisl

Thanks for opening this issue :)

I've taken a look into this issue and believe there's two parts to fixing this:

• making the Azure SDK client configuration consistent (which has been done in #1845)
• using the Proxy from the Environment when it's set (which is done in this branch: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/compare/proxy-support)

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Proxy to verify this patch works as expected behind a proxy with custom authentication - however I can see these requests going through the proxy as expected using Charles Proxy on macOS. Would you be able to pull and build the branch proxy-support and confirm if this fixes your issue? If so there's build instructions in the README

Thanks!

Hi @tombuildsstuff

I had to test it on a different machine as the other one was just a testing VM.

However, it appears to work now!

Thank you 👍

hi @Quisl

Just to let you know that this has been released as a part of v1.18 of the AzureRM Provider (the full changelog is available here). You can upgrade to this by specifying the version in the provider block (as shown below) and then running terraform init -upgrade

provider "azurerm" {
  version = "=1.18.0"
}

Thanks!
