Using a "Self-signed" client certficate in Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Yggdrasil 11

Hi, for all my existing flows I'm using a client certificate (signed by a trusted root) or an API key, this works flawlessly, every single time, and I can have a fully integrated API up and running within minutes. Now to the issue: 

 

I have a data vendor which basically only issues client certificates with this certificate chain:

 

Client Certificate-->Vendor intermediate CA-->Vendor Root CA

 

is there any way to add the Vendor Root CA/Vendor Intermediate CA as a trusted CA (ie in Azure), and use the issued client certificate in a Power automate flow without issues?

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    The error message I got was:
    "Could not load the certificate private key. Please check the authentication certificate password is correct and try again."

    I was able to circumvent this by simply re-importing the p12 certificate to a windows machine while allowing to exporting the key, which I consequently did, exporting the key and certificate as a pfx file and giving a new passphrase to the exported pfx file.

    Using this newly created certificate sorted it all out.
