Hi,

I'm looking for a little help with this issue. I'm relatively new to Packer, not sure where to start looking.

I'm using a fairly standard build file, cribbed directly from the msft doc and adjusted for my env.

it doesnt get far, it creates the keyvault and then fails with

==> azure-arm: ...failed to get certificate URL, retry(4)

==> azure-arm: Get https://pkrkv01dxbtfes7.vault.azure.net/secrets/packerKeyVaultSecret?api-version=2016-10-01: Proxy Authentication Required

So I've tried while the process is running 4 retries to look at the certificate and its not there. it doesnt look to have created a cert.

Bearing in mind this is all part of the internal workings of packer, I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot this.

any guidance is appreciated, even if its along the lines of documentation i've missed reading which would explain this.

thanks

annoyingly this looked to be exactly what it said in the error message, a change on the corporate network which blocked me from using packer via the proxy.
