Wildcard Azure App Service certificate usage for subdomains?

I already have the Wildcard Azure App Service SSL certificate *.mydomain.com using: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-app-service-certificate?tabs=portal

it is now available under the: https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.CertificateRegistration%2FcertificateOrders

However, I have now the requirements to secure the application deployed using my subdomains:

*.Portal1.mydomain.com *.Portal2.mydomain.com ... *.PortalX.mydomain.com

Do I need to purchase any additional certificates for the Wildcard Azure App Service SSL certificate *.mydomain.com is already enough?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    You will need new wildcard certificates since they only work for one level. For example, *.mydomain.com works for portal1.mydomain.com, portal2.mydomain.com, portal3.mdomain.com hosts, but will not work for host1.portal1.mydomain.com, host2.portal1.mydomain.com since they are at another level deep.

    If you want you can obtain your wildcards for free from Let's Encrypt, but downside is you will need to script the renewals or manually upload them into app service.
