Dear Azure Support,

How to add cname record into a subdomain at DNS zone in Azure ?

Here is my issue

1) My client have a domain ("mydomain.com") registered at godaddy.com.
2) I want to deploy app0 under "app0.mydomain.com" subdomain.
3) So i created a public DNS zone for "app0.mydomain.com" at DNS zone in Azure.
4) i have added the 4 NS records from Azure DNS store into Godaddy apex ".mydomain.com".
everything was working fine. i was happy.

But when i want to enable https , i saw a big problem.

My backend is App Service (app0)
My Frontend is FrontDoor.
because FrontDoor is offering free ssl certificate.

but when i set the ssl at front door ,
it asking me to set "app0.azurefd.net" as CNAME record at "app0.mydomain.com"

So i went into DNS zone try to add CNAME record .
but i dont' know how ?
so i went into Godaddy panel , tried to add CNAME "app0.mydomain.com" point to "app0.azurefd.net".
but godaddy is not allowing.

now Azure also not allowing (may be i dont know)
godaddy also not llowing

how can i do that ?

    Hi,

    In your godaddy, just add CNAME to app0 then point it to app0.azurefd.net.

    It is not allowing because, your Godaddy will append the domain to the value which you provide.
