terraform azurerm : Error waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1

Question

When trying to run terraform locally with azurerm provider on my machine, I receive this error :

Error: Error building account: Error getting authenticated object ID: Error parsing json result from the Azure CLI: Error waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1

I followed this link : https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/3686#issuecomment-523983734

but the az account get-access-token works.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Since my organization is using a self-signed certificate to control internet traffic, the az cli is not working as usual. To diagnose, you should run this command :

az ad signed-in-user show

It will show you a very clear message to workaround this issue.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/dev/doc/use_cli_effectively.md#working-behind-a-proxy

I exported the CA certificate from any website from Chrome in Base64 and copied the string in the pem file as indicated in the previous link. It worked!

On Windows : Append the certificate in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\Lib\site-packages\certifi\cacert.pem

Hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

Run az login again, it's worked for me!
