Azure CLI on Linux and Mac: certificate trouble

Question

I'm trying to follow this official tutorial on Kubernetes with Azure. I tried it both on Mac and Linux.

I can successfully login from CLI with my corporate account, but when I run ./create-kubernetes-cluster.js in the end of the output I see

info:    Executing command network vnet create
info:    Using default address space cidr: 12
info:    Using default subnet start IP: 172.16.0.0
info:    Using default subnet cidr: 15
+ Looking up network configuration
error:   The server failed to authenticate the request. Verify that the certificate is valid and is associated with this subscription.
info:    Error information has been recorded to /home/dds/.azure/azure.err
error:   network vnet create command failed

What certificate this is about? Where it come from?

Here is azure.err :

[Error: The server failed to authenticate the request. Verify that the certificate is valid and is associated with this subscription.]

Could you tell me how can I fix this?

Update

I created a ticket for Azure support and they told me:

I see most of the Resource Providers are not registered for your subscription. Deployments (first time) done via portal register resource providers automatically, however if its via PowerShell or CLI we have these have to be registered (one time activity)
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/azure-cli-arm-commands/

Please run these cmdlets to register the providers & then retry the deployment

azure provider register –namespace Microsoft.Network
azure provider register –namespace Microsoft.Compute 
azure provider register –namespace Microsoft.ContainerService 
azure provider register –namespace Microsoft.ResourceHealth 
azure provider register –namespace Microsoft.Storage

I executed these commands successfully, but the result is still the same.

Answer 1

The solution is that you need to add the azure account as co admin in the azure subscription.

Here are some useful links how to do it:
