So there is no way to upload .cer file using powershell or az cli?

So only possible way of uploading that using Bicep.

I don't see a cmdlet to process a public certificate with .cer extension. However, it's available through portal as below:

Your pfx file can be uploaded and attached to the webapp through Azure CLI. Details are given in the below link:

@Hariprasad Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

You can create public certificate to your web app either through portal or ARM /Bicep Template or through Rest API and below are the respective resources:

Upload Public certificate through portal.

ARM template/Bicep Template.

Web Apps - Create Or Update Public Certificate

Currently we don't have a specific cmdlet in Power Shell( Az.Websites module) or AzCLI to create a public certificate.

Alternatively, if you want to create a public certificate through PowerShell/Az CLI I would suggest you call the above Rest API through either of these az rest/ Inovke-RestMethod methods.

If you still looking for a specific cmdlet to create a public certificate to webapp using PowerShell/ Az CLI I would suggest you raise a feature request in Azure/Azure-cli github repro here.

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
