Question

We have Azure Front Door Premium SKU domains with AFD Managed certificates, but he AFD certificate shows expiring in 44 days. the autorotation hasn't taken place. Same situation for another azure front door domain in another subscription. We need to renew theses certificates as soon as possible.

Thanks

Hi @Najwa Chakir - Admin

The domain is not an Apex domain (subdomain),

• It is just a CNAME record under the domain
• So the process is straight forward : Configure a custom domain on Azure Front Door
• The subdomains certificates are rotated automatically as long as the CNAME record is still pointing to "FDEndPoint"
• See : managed TLS certificates

You have a Apex domain or Root domain

• Please follow: Onboard a root or apex domain to Azure Front Door to add ALIAS record pointing Apex domain to "FDEndPoint" on how to configure custom domains
• For Apex domains, Azure managed certificates are not automatically rotated.
• See : managed TLS certificates

• Also see: AFD-managed TLS certificate rotation - How to rotate/renew
• This is nothing but regenerating the TXT value and adding it to the DNS Zone
• Also, please share your domain in a private message.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
