1. If you open the exported certificate using Notepad, you see something similar to this example. The section in blue contains the information that is uploaded to application gateway. If you open your certificate with Notepad and it doesn't look similar to this, typically this means you didn't export it using the Base-64 encoded X.509(.CER) format. Additionally, if you want to use a different text editor, understand that some editors can introduce unintended formatting in the background. This can create problems when uploaded the text from this certificate to Azure.
