HTTPS on a custom port using ingress (AGIC)

Question

I am trying to create a listener on a custom port. The minute I start using custom port my listener in application gateway is created on http protocol and if i am not specifying the custom port it is coming on https on port 443. Below are the annotations i am using.

	kubernetes.io/ingress.class: azure/application-gateway
    appgw.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"  
    appgw.ingress.kubernetes.io/appgw-ssl-certificate: "

Hello @Firoj Siddique

It sounds like you're on the right track with your annotations!
To create a listener on a custom port and ensure it uses HTTPS, you'll need to specify the protocol, custom port and the SSL certificate in your annotations.
Here are the required annotations, please feel free to refer to the document links shared at the end for precise and updated versions of these annotations.

kubernetes.io/ingress.class: azure/application-gateway

appgw.ingress.kubernetes.io/appgw-ssl-certificate: "your-ssl-certificate-name"

appgw.ingress.kubernetes.io/frontend-port: "your-custom-port"

appgw.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"

Replace "your-ssl-certificate-name" with the name of your SSL certificate and "your-custom-port" with the custom port number you want to use.
