How to create a certificate for use with Windows Azure Services

Uploading an image to Windows Azure requires that you create the certificate, and after you create the certificate, you must add it to your subscription in Windows Azure.

One approach is to use IIS Manager and then establish a self-signed certificate in it.

After you establish the certificate, you need to export the certificate two times-once with the private key. pfx format, and the other time without the. cer format. The reason you have to do this two times is because you need to upload a certificate that does not contain a private key to Azure. A certificate with a private key needs to be imported to the personal certificate store on the current user. When you establish credentials in IIS Manager, it places the credentials in the personal storage area of the local computer, which is why you need to guide it and add it to the current user's personal storage area.

Exporting a certificate is fairly straightforward, simply click the certificate in IIS Manager, then click the Details tab of the certificate properties and click the Copy to File ... button. I'm sure you can use the wizard to find out how to export a certificate with and without a private key. After you export a certificate with a private key (. pfx file), open the Certificates MMC snap-in and import the certificate into the personal store of your user account. For an export certificate without a private key, simply navigate to and upload the certificate in the Azure portal.

When you are in the Manage Certificates section in the Azure Management portal, you can upload the exported certificate (. cer file).

Of course, creating a certificate can also use the MakeCert command

such as: Makecert-sky exchange-r-N "cn=sasservice.cloudapp.net"-pe-a sha1-len 2048-ss "Slhdemoazure.cer", then you can install the certificate, MakeCert Certificate Creation Tool http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/bfsktky3.aspx
