How do I add a certificate to my Azure App Service

Question

Hi all;

I need to add a SSL certificate to www.EnemyNations.com & EnemyNations.com (it is an Azure app service). How can I do that?

To create a CSR I need access to the server and I can't get that for an app service.

Is there an easier way? I don't care where the certificate comes from.

thanks - dave

Thanks for asking question! You can refer to this official article which shows you how to create, upload, or import a private certificate or a public certificate into Azure App Service: Add a TLS/SSL certificate in Azure App Service

Refer to below table lists the options you have for adding certificates in App Service:

You can opt any of the above options:

1. Free App Service Managed Certificate (A private certificate that's free of charge and easy to use if you just need to secure your custom domain in App Service) It's a fully functional TLS/SSL certificate that's managed by App Service and renewed automatically. Please note that there is limitation and you can not export free certificate.
2. You can purchase an App Service Certificate (A private certificate that's managed by Azure. It combines the simplicity of automated certificate management and the flexibility of renewal and export options.) from Azure, then Azure manages the following tasks:

• Takes care of the purchase process from GoDaddy.
• Performs domain verification of the certificate.
• Maintains the certificate in Azure Key Vault.
• Manages certificate renewal (see Renew certificate).
• Synchronize the certificate automatically with the imported copies in App Service apps.
