I registered my domain on Azure and purchased a certificate through Azure.
I successfully stored the certificate in a vault.
I cannot get past the verification It is supposed to verify automatically since both the domain registration and the SSL purchase were done through Azure.
I tried getting it to send me an verification email, but that errored out.
This may cause by Azure could not identify your domain owner information. I will suggest that you could partially disclose your domain owner information so Azure could find the domain owner and verify this domain for you. You also could select the manual domain verification method.
Additionally, If you don’t see your domain validated within an hour, you could open a support ticket. Feel free to let me know if you still have a question.

I purchased a standard SSL certificate through Azure, and it forced me to remove the www. prefix. I couldn't do DNS-type domain verification at the time, and imported the certificate got it verified on another means, and got the non-www url working with the new certificate.
However, when trying to bind the www version of the url, the imported certificate does not come up in the list, and the documentation indicates that this is only possible when the domain has been verified using DNS or email verification methods.
I subsequently inserted the required TXT record on the DNS for verification. However, the certificate still does not come up in the list for binding. Is there a way for me to get the verification done again and add www support, or is my only option to lose the money spent on a certificate and buy a new one?
I got hold of Azure support, and they introduced me to App Service Managed Certificates, which are free for Azure Web App use. So I created a new certificate for the www version of the domain and resolved the issue. I wonder if this covers all my web app needs and if I'll ever need to purchase a certificate again for Azure?
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.
I have just bought an SSL Certificate for my website from azure. when setting up a certificate under "Naked domain hostname" i entered the domain name WITHOUT "www".
Currently if i were to view my website with https://xyz.ca, it works just fine and it says it is secure, but if enter www.xyz.ca i do not see anything.
To atleast view the website with www.xyz.ca, i have removed HTTPS:// only request. However now this makes website un-secure.
Question
1. what will be the best way to make www.xyz.ca secure using the same certificate that i have bought?
2. if there is any other solution available, that will be fine too.
I am attaching some screenshots to understand better:
In fact a cert CAN support MANY domains. Now, whether this is something that you can add for free with the SSL provider you have chose is a different question. Certificate Subject Alternate Name(s) are what is used for this. For example the cert for this site allows stackexchange.com AND stackoverflow.com and a number of others and sub-domains too.
A valid SSL certificate must match the access FQDN domain name.
One Standard certificate only could be used for one FQDN domain name, such as www.xyz.ca while one WildCard certificate could be used for all like *.xyz.ca FQDN domain name, so usually we use the same WildCard certificate for all different services. More information about SSL Certificate Names
As the comment point it out, instead of buying one via the Azure Portal, you can get a free one via letsencrypt.org
Update
When you purchase an app service certificate in Azure for a root domain, by default, Azure supports hostname as a root domain name and www subdomain. You do not need to purchase another certificate. In this case, you already have two hostnames assigned to the site. You just bind the certificate for each. If you don't see the domain name(s) in the Hostname dropdown, try refreshing the browser page or change another browser.
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.
I just bought a SSL Certificate for an parked domain that im going to use for redricting users to my azure web service. The problem is that when i redrict the user to the azure webservice the certificate isn't valid for that page, i guess it's becuase it was issued to my parked domain. But the only reason why i issued it for my parked domain was because it isn't possible to register a SSL certificate for an azure webservice because when you are registering your certificate you have to validate your domain and therefor need access too email adresses that are presented by the SSL manifactor. And the email that the manifactors present are those emails that only Microsoft have acess too.
So, this what i want it to be like (not real adresses):
User visit www.helloworld.net ---> User are connected to www.helloworld.net using a valid SSL Certificate ---> User gets immediately redricted to helloworld.cloudapp.net ---> User are connected to helloworld.cloudapp.net using the same SSL Certificate
Is this possible?
To make this work you shouldn't use redirect, but use CNAME instead.
