how can godaddy install a managed certificate on azure

Question

Hallo,

I bought a "managed" SSL certificate from GoDaddy, which has to be installed on my custom domain www.aipoma.com, which is hosted on Microsoft Azure. How can GoDaddy access the hosting environment to install the certificate?

Hi Andreas Fellner,
To install a managed SSL certificate from GoDaddy on your custom domain hosted on Microsoft Azure, you can follow these steps:

1. After your certificate request is approved, download the certificate from the GoDaddy SSL manager.
2. If the certificate is not already in .pfx format, you will need to convert it. You can use OpenSSL to convert the certificate files (.pem, .crt, .key) to a .pfx file. Here is a command you can use:   

openssl pkcs12 -inkey yourkey.pem -in yourcert.crt -export -out yourcert.pfx

1. Sign in to your Azure portal and navigate to your App Service. Under the "Settings" section, click on "SSL certificates" and then "Upload Certificate". Browse and select your .pfx file, enter the password you set during the conversion, and click "Submit".
2. After uploading the certificate, you need to bind it to your custom domain. In the SSL settings, click "Add binding", select your hostname and the uploaded certificate, choose "SNI SSL" for SSL Type, and click "Add Binding".
3. Use tools like SSL Labs to verify that the SSL certificate is correctly installed and your site is accessible via HTTPS.
