Import-Certificate

[Fareroo7]

I want to use self-signed certificates, like described here: HOWTO

When I try to run this command:

Import-Certificate -FilePath C:\Run\my\certs\tls.crt -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My\

the following error occurs:

Import-Certificate : Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Using BcContainerHelper and the -useSSL switch on New-BcContainer will give you a self-signed certificate.

@freddydk OP's link doesn't point to an actual "self-signed" certificate despite their description.
Instead it points to using something like a "domain signed" certificate or some other private CA.

@Fareroo7 We'd need more information than just that command.

But if you're following that HowTO I had to include -useSSL in addition to the script; it's needed to call the script after all.
And you need to load a PFX into \My because the service tier needs access to the private key (which is likely protected by a password).
