SSL cert binding using ARM templates

SSL cert binding using ARM templates

DHAVAL R PATEL 46

I am getting error while binding SSL cert to a custom domain from ARM template as part of Azure web app deployment pipeline. First time the binding works as expected but next deployment, the ARM tries to create another copy of cert in same resource group and throws following error.

Another certificate exists with same thumbprint xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at location xxxxx in the Resource Group RG-xxxx.

The similar functionality works as expected using CLI. Any idea folks?

Hi, just ran into the same issue. We have some randomly created names by importing them via the website, but we want to add all hostnames and ssl bindings to our bicep script. Now we also are facing the same issue. what is the best approach to update this without downtime?

I see in the blog post the suggestion is to delete the cert using PowerShell and run the ARM template again as part of CI/CD.

As I mentioned earlier, using script it is possible. Is there a way to override using ARM or ignore the upload if same cert exists and use it?
