SSL Cert error on non-www domain for Static Web App

We've got a static web app with a custom domain. When accessed over www., as we intend, this works just fine.
However when users hit the non-www domain, i.e. https://mysite.com, we get a "your connection is not private" error.
If users accept the risk and continue, they're then forwarded to the www. subdomain and things continue as normal.

How can I configure my static web app to handle this without the cert issues?

    Hello @Sandeep Shah
    mysite.com is the root domain, this is also known as an "APEX" domain.

    Unfortunately root domain support is not available during preview.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/custom-domain#configure-a-root-domain

    You can make a workaround for your mysite.com domain, create a CNAME at your domain provider, that will point your mysite.com to www.mysite.com
