When configuring or running an Azure connector on a Beacon, the inventory gathering process may fail with the following error:
The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
An error occurred while sending the request.
This occurs when the Beacon server cannot validate the certificate presented by Azure because it cannot reach the required Microsoft Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) endpoints.
Ensure the Beacon can access the required CRL/OCSP URLs
The Beacon must reach Microsoft’s certificate validation services.
Verify outbound access by allowlisting the following URLs:
- http://www.microsoft.com/pki/mscorp/crl
- http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products
- http://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/
- http://ocsp.msocsp.com
- http://ocsp.globalsign.com
Once these URLs are accessible, Azure certificate validation succeeds and inventory gathering completes successfully.
NOTE: These URLs may change when Microsoft updates Azure certificates. Ensure your environment allows access to certificate authorities used by Azure.
Optional temporary workaround
If network changes cannot be made immediately, you can disable certificate revocation checks on the Beacon:
- Set the Beacon registry value:
CheckCertificateRevocation = False
This bypasses CRL/OCSP checks but should only be used short-term until proper access is restored.
