Azure RM provider error - error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Terraform Providers Azure
1

Hey,

I know it’s not the Azure RM specific space, but unfortunately, I’m not able to find what’s going on with my issue.

I’m using terraform to deploy virtual machine in 5 or 6 differents Azure Subscription.

I can deploy in all of them, instead one particular subscription, and I couldn’t find why.

Terraform version: v1.4.6

Azure rm version: 3.54.0 and 3.58.0

Here is the version.tf

##################################################################################
# VERSIONS
##################################################################################

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
  }
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "3.54.0"
    }
    /*
    netbox = {
      source  = "e-breuninger/netbox"
      version = "1.5.1"
    }*/
    awx = {
      source  = "nolte/awx"
      version = "0.2.2"
    }

    }
}

and here is the main.tf

provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

provider "azurerm" {
  skip_provider_registration = "true"
  features {}

  alias           = "common-services"
  subscription_id = var.common_services_id
}

resource "random_password" "admin_pwd" {
  length           = 16
  special          = true
  override_special = "!#$%&*()-_=+[]{}<>:?"
}


data "azurerm_resource_group" "XXXX" {
  name = var.resource_group
}


## Import Key vault informations ##
data "azurerm_key_vault" "compute_lab" {
  provider            = azurerm.common-services
  name                = var.key_vault_name
  resource_group_name = var.resource_group_keyvault
}

Here is the error code

I’m using a service principal. The permission are well setup on the subscription and the same as the others.

The code is working in all the other subscription.

The resource providers on the problematic subscription are the same as the others as well.

Thank you for your help
