I have an App Service Certificate in Azure that is set to auto renew. When I try to import it into the associated App Service, however, I get the error:
App Service Certificate is not issued.
How do I “issue” an App Service Certificate so that it can be assigned to an App Service via import?
App Service Certificate Configuration
To verify the status of the App Service Certificate, I did the following:
Open the “App Service Certificate” under “All Resources”
Click “Certificate Expired” warning (or, alternatively, “Certificate Configuration”)
Confirmed “Certificate successfully imported to Key Vault” (checked)
Confirmed “Domain ownership verified” (checked)
Confirmed “Certificate ready to use in App Service”
Followed instructions under “Step 3: Assign”
App Service Certificate Assignment
To assign the App Service Certificate, I followed the instructions under the Certificate Status’s “Step 3: Assign” window. This is similar to the instructions on Microsoft’s Buy SSL Cert page.
Open the “App Service” under “All Resources”
Click “TSL/SSL Settings”
Click “Private Key Certificates (.pfx)”
Click “Import App Service Certificate”
Click the App Service Certificate (it shows up as expected)
Receive error, “App Service Certificate is not issued.”
Note: The steps above are slightly different than those in the “Certificate Status” page due to changes in the Azure Portal user interface. E.g., “Custom domains and SSL” has been renamed to “TSL/SSL Settings”, and “Certificates” has been renamed to “Private Key Certificates (.pfx)”.
Other Information
As part of troubleshooting this process, I also verified the following:
The certificate is currently marked as expired
“Auto Renew App Service Certificate” is set to “On”
“Manual renewal not allowed at this time… to prevent accidental renewal”
“Rekey is not allowed” since the certificate is not in an issued state
While “Step 3: Assign” reports “Certificate ready to use in App Service”, that step is not checked—presumably because it hasn’t been assigned.
Note: I went through this process last year with this same Subscription, App Service, and App Service Certificate without a problem.
Analysis
The “Step 3: Assign” instructions state “completing all the steps will get the certificate to the Issued state”. It then goes on to say, “An issued App Service certificate may be used on any App Service Web App”. There seems to be a missing step between these, however, as while it reports that “Certificate ready to use in App Service”, the App Service states that the “App Service Certificate is not issued”. How do I get the App Service Certificate to an “Issued” state?
The certificate is currently marked as expired, “Auto Renew App Service Certificate” is set to “On”
As you have said, your certification is expired now, and though you turn on the Auto Renew setting, it does not bind the new cert to the WebApps where the cert it is replacing is currently bound to. You need to manually bind the new cert once it available. Here is an article you could refer to renew your certificate.
Also, if you are creating a new app service certificate and get this error, I suggest you delete it and recreate a new one.

I have a Azure Web App that has a SSL Certificate. This certificate is set to auto-renew.
However it has stopped working. When I log on to the Azure portal, it says "perform required domain verification" and the status of the Certificate says "Pending Issuance". The expiry date is yesterday, so I guess it has expired.
But....
Why didn't it auto-renew?
Why is it telling me to verify the domain again? (I did this when I bought it 2 years ago)
I looked at the steps in the portal to verify the domain by updating the txt record in my DNS.
Done that.
It's been like an hour and it still doesn't work.
Do I need to just wait?
Can anyone explain whats going on here?
Glad you got it working.Just to highlight on renewal of certificate.
As mentioned in this doc "Beginning September 23 2021, App Service certificates require domain verification during renew or rekey if you haven't verified domain in the last 395 days. The new certificate order remains in "pending issuance" during renew or rekey until you complete the domain verification.
Unlike App Service Managed Certificate, domain re-verification for App Service certificates is not automated, and failure to verify domain ownership will result in failed renewals. Refer to verify domain ownership for more information on how to verify your App Service certificate."
If you are going to renew/rekey your certificate, and it's been > 395 days since you last verified domain ownership, you would be required do verify domain ownership again in order to have the new certificate be issued to you. If it's been < 395 days, your certificate will be automatically issued again without additional action needed from you. Similar discussion here.
In the end what I did was delete the current Certficate and create a new one. - That got the site back up and running without waiting around.
We have an Azure app service which has an SSL cert which expires in about 30 days - I have purchased and installed a new SSL cert which is shown in the Azure portal as Healthy with the right expiry date - the about to expire SSL cert is also shown with a warning of its impending expiration.
My question is does the new SSL Cert automatically take over when the old one expires - or do I need to something else - e.g. delete the old SSL
Thanks in advance for any help with this
Firstly, Check whether you have enabled Auto Renew Option if not, find the below steps to enable auto renew .
if Auto Renew is on then it will be renewed automatically before it expires, the linked App Service Apps will be moved to the new certificate.
For Auto Renew App Service Certificate, you could check it in your App Service Certificate -> Auto Renew Settings -> Auto Renew App Service Certificate
below is the link to upload SSL certificate manually.
Or,
To upload your renewed certificate to your app service, also you can use this powershell command [New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding] (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azurerm.websites/New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding?view=azurermps-6.6.0).
When the question 'Does my app service SSL cert get renewed automatically?' is asked the common response advises the questioner to check the 'Auto Renew' option. But when the SSL cert was purchased from a 3rd party and uploaded to the app service there is no 'Auto Renew' option available. This answer is to address that scenario.
The MS doc here gives details on what to do in an 'uploaded SSL' scenario.
Renew Certificate
Upload the new certificate to the app service via the TLS/SSL option
Bind the new certificate to the same custom domain without deleting the existing, expiring certificate.
Go to your App Service app's TLS/SSL settings pane, and select
'+Add Binding'. This action replaces the binding, rather than remove the existing certificate binding.
You can now delete the existing, expiring certificate
You need to follow these steps because the app service bindings will not automatically update for any hosts when the certificate has been manually loaded in to an App Service Private PFX Certificates.
I have been able to access Service Fabric Explorer with no problem, using a client certificate generated from Azure. The client certificate is still valid.
We recently added a new server certificate with a new thumbprint and set it to primary. (The previous server cert is secondary and hasn't been removed, if that matters.)
Now when I visit https://<name>.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com:19080/Explorer I get an error that varies by browser. There's no link to click through and ignore the warning.
In Edge: The website’s security certificate is not secure. Error Code: 0
In Chrome: You cannot visit <name>.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Google Chrome cannot process.
I can connect using the new certificate thumbprint via PowerShell.
You will need to add the certificate thumbprint under the cluster's client security.
I deployed an application out to our app service in Azure, and the app needs to have SSL to run, but since it is still in development I did not want to have to purchase a cert yet, so I created a self-signed cert through openssl. The private key is 2048 bits, which should be enough, but when I go to apply the cert to the hostname, it just sits there and never applies.
Is there a special step you have to complete to get self signed certs to work, or, are you not allowed to use self signed certs in Azure App Services?
Try to use ServerCertificateValidationCallback to monitor the verification of server certificate, comparing the certificates between local and server or just returning true.
Now when you invoke the https service in your web app, the verification callback will be invoked automatically. If failed, you will see the errors. If successful, the service response will be returned.

I am developing one asp.net website and I will be hosting the site on windows azure. My requirement is when user access the site like www.xyz.com\admin then live id authentication should happen but when the user access the site www.xyz.com then no need do authentication.
After referring to an MSDN document I come to know about ACS with WIF, so I created the namespace and did so on so on.
But whenever I am accessing the federation URL (https://xyz.accesscontrol.windows.net/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml) I am getting error:
ID:1089 unable to connect the remote server.
I unfortunately deleted the certificate and keys and service identities in windows azure I don't know how to get it back, also I don't how do fulfill my requirement.
If you deleted the certificates and keys they all you need is to just create new one(s). You can either use Self Signed certificates, or use X.509 certificates issued by a trusted Certificate Authority. Once you get your X.509 certificate (it shall include a private key) you can upload it in the ACS management portal (which is locate at https://xyz.accesscontrol.windows.net/):
The FederationMedatadata.xml cannot be generated without the Token Signing certificate.
Or, the easiest for you, would be to just delete that namespace and create a new one.
