Certificate error in fromtdoor

Question

We have bought our own SSL ceetificate. And uploaded the pfx file in the key vault. Now we need to apply that certificate to our configurered front door. The front door allows us to select the certificate but instead of applying it gives following error.

Failed to create the secret

Failed to create the secret 'PFXCERTIFICATE1-PFxcertificatenew-latest'. Error: We don't have permission to access this secret. Go to "Access policies" in your Key Vault account to give Microsoft.AzureFrontDoor-Cdn or managed identities (if you enabled managed identities in profile) permission to get secrets.

can you please help?

Hi,

Please make sure you enabled managed identity in your Azure Front Door and then add role assignment for Key Vault Secret User role to the managed identity on your key vault. Once you have done this please re-try selecting your certificate.

Detailed instructions for enabling Managed Identity to your Azure Front Door and adding role assignment to your Key Vault are in below article:
