I am following the documentation towards cloud bursting to Azure here [http://docs.opennebula.org/5.0/advanced\_components/cloud\_bursting/azg.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/5.0/advanced_components/cloud_bursting/azg.html).
Getting an Error after the host is created. I understand monitoring Azure is not supported. So went ahead creating an Azure VM Template, but the deployment fails with Error
Fri Feb 10 09:54:21 2017 [Z0][VMM][I]: /usr/local/share/gems/gems/azure-0.7.6/lib/azure/configurable.rb:184:in `rescue in management\_certificate=': Management certificate not valid. Error: PKCS12\_parse: mac verify failure (ArgumentError)
I am not linux expert or Ruby. The question is before proceeding with cloud integration should i need to have the password less (SSH login) enabled?
Can some one help me?

The error you are experiencing refers to the management certificate not being correctly formed. Are you following the openssl commands to create the certificate? Could you share your /etc/one/az\_driver.conf?
You don’t need password less SSH login working for the Azure integration.

Tinova,
Thanks for following up. Here is the config file. I am trying to deploy the host to east-us, so filled in only that section and the default.
Here is the az\_driver.conf file. I had created the openssl cert using the root account. Will that be an issue?

Under which user are you running the “oned” process?

Tinova
All the process are running under one admin. I am using the virtual box trial appliance image.

That may be the issue.
Is the “oneadmin” user able to read the /root/myCert.pem file?

Tinova,
I went ahead and recreated the VM and created the certificate again. The cluster host created still errors.
Can you provide me a sample Azure Template (full one including the context) that i could use?
The one i have deployed throws the following error message.
Error deploying virtual machine: Error creating directory /var/lib/one/datastores/0/0 at east-us: ssh: Could not resolve hostname east-us: Name or service not known

Before moving on to the creation of an Azure Template (you can find a functional sample in the [documentation](http://docs.opennebula.org/5.2/advanced_components/cloud_bursting/azg.html#azure-specific-template-attributes), you need to correctly add a configured Azure host in OpenNebula, and achieve the “on” state on it.
Let’s go step by step, please answer to the following:
- Is the myCert.pem file readable by oneadmin?
- Can you share the output of "onehost show -x ", where hid is the id of the host with name “east-us”
