Service fabric, AD and client certificate security - azure-service-fabric

Question

service fabric cluster communication fail when using my domainname.com certificate. I'm getting this error using the portal and/or using ARM template:
Failed to communicate with the cluster (get cluster health: Client certificate required).

hint?

Answer 1

It might be as simple as the client certificate is not imported (installed) in the machine from where you are trying to access the explorer. When you open the Service Fabric explorer, it might pop up to select one of the certificates installed in your machine. You have to choose the client certificate at this point.
I compared the ARM template with my (working) template and it looks OK. No obvious issues.

Answer 2

Your ARM template shows you are missing the client certificate within the VMSS OS Profile, which means it will not be installed to each of the nodes during deployment then it is missing when Service Fabric attempts to use it.
Here is an example from one of my ARM templates
"osProfile": {
"adminUsername": "[parameters('adminUsername')]",
"adminPassword": "[parameters('adminPassword')]",
"computernamePrefix": "[parameters('vmNodeType0Name')]",
"secrets": [
{
"sourceVault": {
"id": "[parameters('sourceVault')]"
},
"vaultCertificates": [
{
"certificateStore": "My",
"certificateUrl": "[parameters('clusterCertificateUrl')]"
},
{
"certificateStore": "My",
"certificateUrl": "[parameters('adminCertificateUrl')]"
}
]
}
]
},
EDIT:
Where you have two client certificates, I would expect your OS Profile to have three vault certificates for installation on deployment
