Azure App Service Managed Certificates

Introduction

In this post, I’ll be sharing information about Microsoft’s newest offering for App Services, Managed Certificates!

In the past, getting a free certificate in Azure would require you to use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) because they provide free custom domain certificates.

However, for App Services, there are certain requirements for using custom domain and certificates (SSL and/or SNI (Server Name Indication).

Certificates are also offered for purhcase through Azure already under App Service Certificates.

Managed Certificates

After choosing a supported App Service Plan (Basic B1 or higher) for Custom Domains and SSL, choose TLS/SSL Settings from your App Service overview blade. Next, select Private Key Certificate from the top menu and finally “+Create App Service Managed Certificate”.

*Note that you’ll need to setup custom domain prior to creating the managed certificate.
