Adding an SSL to Azure Web Apps

29 Jan 2018 • 1 min read

In setting up this blog, I wanted to go all the way and put a fully signed SSL certificate on it, to protect both readers and blog post producers.

I have to say compared to the past with setting up SSL certs, Microsoft have made this very very easy.

Using the new azure portal what you need:

A web app (to host your content)
A DNS hostname and a sub domain (like www or blog)
Use Azure App Service Certificates(to create your certificate via http://www.goDaddy.com)
Use Azure Key Value (to hold your certificate)
A few minutes of waiting around
Finally assigning the cert to your web app via the Azure Web App Portal
