Azure Wordpress Web APP unable to assign APP SSL certificate

Question

Hi Folks,

I have two custom domains (DNS within Azure) and a wordpress azure webapp I am attempting to assign a SSL certificate to.

Ive made the required changes to the DNS as per the instructions and added the CAA record.

but getting this error and ensured I have updated by plan so its eligible for the SSL certificates, I have two domains with this error and both having same problem.

Any suggestions on what I need to do?

Thanks for asking question! You may want to know that the free certificate is issued by DigiCert. For some top-level domains, you must explicitly allow DigiCert as a certificate issuer by creating a CAA domain record with the value: 0 issue digicert.com

To add to: The free App Service Managed Certificate is still in Preview and there are few limitations to it:
• Does not support wildcard certificates.
• Does not support naked domains.
• Is not exportable.
• Is not supported on App Service Environment (ASE)
• Does not support A records. For example, automatic renewal doesn't work with A records.
