Cannot seem to assign the certificate to the app service app

The guidance for assigning the Certificate to the App Service App seems to be outdated. It states to Look on the left side of the screen for the App Service App. We have already validated the certificate with our domain, and need help performing the next step. There is no App Service App listed on the left side of the screen.

    Hi WILLIAM WEIS,

    Once the certificate is successfully uploaded or created (via App Service Managed Certificate or a third-party upload), follow these updated steps to bind it:

    1. Go to the App Service app in the Azure portal.
    2. In the left navigation pane, select TLS/SSL settings.
    3. Under Bindings, click on + Add TLS/SSL Binding.
    4. Choose domain + certificate.
    5. Choose TLS/SSL type (usually SNI SSL).
    6. Click Add Binding.

    After this, your custom domain should be securely bound to the SSL certificate. Bind an existing custom SSL certificate to Azure App Service

    If you’re navigating from the App Service Domains blade or from App Service Certificates, it won’t show the apps linked directly. Instead, navigate directly to the App Service App resource where you want to apply the certificate. You can find it from:

    • The Resource Group
    • The Search bar at the top ("App Services")
    • The Home dashboard

    Add TLS/SSL certificate to Azure App Service

    Hope this helps, if you have any further concerns or queries, please feel free to reach out to us.
