When creating an Azure Front Door Secret from Key Vault, the operation fails with the following error:

    Did you add the full chain PFX to keyvault? You need to generate a PFX file from the godaddy crt files, SSL example:

    openssl pkcs12 -export \
      -out output.pfx \
      -inkey private-key.key \
      -in your-domain.crt \
      -certfile gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
