Azure Cognitive Search requires an encrypted channel for all indexer requests over a public internet connection. This section lists the steps to make this work.

1. Check the properties of the certificate to verify the subject name is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Azure VM. You can use a tool like CertUtils or the Certificates snap-in to view the properties. You can get the FQDN from the VM service blade's Essentials section, in the **Public IP address/DNS name label** field, in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/).

1. Configure SQL Server to use the certificate using the Registry Editor (regedit).

Although SQL Server Configuration Manager is often used for this task, you can't use it for this scenario. It won't find the imported certificate because the FQDN of the VM on Azure doesn't match the FQDN as determined by the VM (it identifies the domain as either the local computer or the network domain to which it's joined). When names don't match, use regedit to specify the certificate.

There are several ways to get the thumbprint, some better than others. If you copy it from the **Certificates** snap-in in MMC, you'll probably pick up an invisible leading character [as described in this support article](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2023869/), which results in an error when you attempt a connection. Several workarounds exist for correcting this problem. The easiest is to backspace over and then retype the first character of the thumbprint to remove the leading character in the key value field in regedit. Alternatively, you can use a different tool to copy the thumbprint.
