Answer 1

Hi Don Bowden

In addition to Alex's response, you can also refer to the following points and guide.

I understand that you're trying to set up Azure Front Door for your Power Pages website with a custom domain. Let's go through the essential steps to get this configuration sorted.

Firstly, set up Azure Front Door by creating an Azure Front Door resource in the Azure portal. You’ll want to be sure to select either the Standard or Premium tier, which allows you access to more features, including WAF. Here’s a quickstart guide on creating Azure Front Door.

After creating your Front Door instance, set the origin to your Power Pages site's host name, which will look something like yoursitename.powerappsportals.com.

Now, you will need to add your custom domain in the Azure Front Door's frontend endpoint or host's section. Make sure you also update your DNS records to point to the Front Door endpoint. Typically, you'll be creating a CNAME record but refer to your DNS provider's documentation for specifics. Microsoft has a good resource on configuring custom domains in Azure Front Door.

Once everything is configured, test the setup by visiting your custom domain. You should see your Power Pages website being served correctly through Azure Front Door.

To make you understand easier, I have replicated your setup and able to access the PowerApps via Azure Front door custom domain.

Added custom domain "powerapps.azureonline.xyz" on Azure Front door with TXT validation.**

Hi Don,

Thank you for posting your question on the Q&A portal! I’m happy to help you configure Azure Front Door with your Power Pages website using a custom domain. Let’s break this down into simple steps so it’s easy to follow, even if you’re new to this.

First, you’ll need to set up Azure Front Door to route traffic to your Power Pages site. Azure Front Door is a global, scalable entry point that uses the Microsoft global network to deliver fast and secure applications. You can find more details in the official Microsoft documentation on Azure Front Door.

Next, make sure your Power Pages website is properly published and accessible. Power Pages allows you to create low-code, business-focused websites, and you can learn more about it in the Microsoft Power Pages documentation.

To connect a custom domain, you’ll need to add it in Azure Front Door’s frontend hosts section. Then, you’ll have to update the DNS records for your domain to point to the Front Door endpoint. This usually involves creating a CNAME record, but sometimes an A or AAAA record is needed. The exact steps depend on your DNS provider, but Microsoft has a guide on configuring custom domains in Azure Front Door that explains it well.

Also, don’t forget to configure SSL/TLS for your custom domain to ensure secure connections. Azure Front Door provides managed certificates, which you can enable easily. Check out the Microsoft guide on enabling HTTPS for custom domains for step-by-step instructions.

Once everything is set up, test your configuration to make sure traffic flows correctly from your custom domain through Front Door to your Power Pages site.
