I have a question about Azure-hosted websites and wildcard certificates.
I’m able to install my wildcard certificate to a website and then add multiple SSL bindings without issue.
But when I try to add that same certificate to another website, I get an error message about the certificate thumbprint.
Is there a centralized location where I can add the SSL certificate so that I can use the wildcard cert for multiple, individual websites?
I would like to report that this appears to just be a propagation issue on the side of Azure, and the issue has resolved itself.
Some more information in case others would run into this issue-
After I added the certificate using the new Azure interface (portal.azure.com) to a Website, the SSL certificate did not appear in the "Certificates" list, though it did successfully accept the SSL bindings that were added. Navigating to a different Website, I attempted to add the certificate again, which failed.
After 10 minutes, I now see that the "Certificates" list is populated on all Websites on the account. When you upload a certificate to one Website, it does become global for the account and is accessible on other parts of the Azure portal.
I am attributing this solely to a propagation delay... otherwise, all appears to work normally.
Hope this helps someone.

I want to create certification by App Service Managed Certificate.
I set these records
and it works correctly but when I want to create App Service Managed Certificates by Azure
I got a strange error
Failed to create App Service Managed Certificate for hostname. Click here for more details.
I try different CAA records and none of them works.
what should I do?
and if I want to use terraform it is stuck at creating the certificate
I use this template
Azure does not support the .ir domain.
Good news on App service managed certificate.
Yes, you heard correctly it became GA now and supports apex domain with a country code top-level domain (ccTLD).
Key Features:
Supports Apex domain.
Auto renewed.
Expired in 6 month.
Auto renew 45 days before expiration.
Automate using ARM template.
App Service Managed Certificate for apex domain will take a bit longer to create than for sub-domain because it uses a different validation method.
Not exportable.
I hope this will help you in securing your environment.
Maybe the tutorial you need is this:
map-a-cname-record
Create a free certificate
I had seen this error before, and solve it by the steps below:
Check the CNAME records. Map a subdomain to the app's default domain name needs two records: CNAME record and TXT record.
Make sure you enabled the CNAME record mapping in Azure .
Clear the records you don't need, like the CAA records, because wildcard certificatesis not support for creating a free certificate. Take care of the limitations.
It may takes a while for this configuration to take effect.
App Service Managed Certificate is still in Preview, there are some limitations with this (as of today), kindly check them below.
It's a private certificate to use if you just need to secure your www custom domain or any non-naked domain in App Service.
The free certificate is issued by DigiCert. For some top-level domains, you must explicitly allow DigiCert as a certificate issuer by creating a CAA domain record with the value: 0 issue digicert.com.
The free certificate comes with the following limitations:
Does not support wildcard certificates.
Does not support naked domains.
Is not exportable.
Is not supported on App Service Environment (ASE)
Does not support A records. For example, automatic renewal doesn't work with A records.
Kindly see the different between App Service Certificate and App Service Managed Certificate.

I have a web app that is hosted on three app services within a single subscription. All of them are hosted with different subdomains:
mystie.com
dev.mystie.com
demo.mystie.com
I bought Azure Wildcard certificate to provide ssl connection and I'm able to bind it to mystie.com and to dev.mystie.com, but not to demo.mystie.com.
It is listed in the Private Key Certificates table
But not in Private Certificate Thumbprint list on the TLS/SSL binding window
What I'm doing wrong?
P.S. Do I need to provide some additional information for you guys to help you figure out this issue?
After couple of hours, the certificate appeared on the list... can't explain this...
ANSWERED MYSELF:
This function would not work in Azure Portal, but did work in Azure management console. I posted a note about this on MSDN.
====
I need SSL for many subdomains of mydomain.com that will point to many corresponding azurewebsites.net web sites (as App Services in one account)
I purchased a GoDaddy wildcard SSL Certificate for *.mydomain.net, then followed all the steps here, which is how to get the certificate from GoDaddy and then upload it to Azure,
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-configure-ssl-certificate/#bkmk_configuressl
and here, which has a little more detail on the upload to Azure.
http://azure.codegrains.com/2013/07/step-by-step-guide-for-implementing.html
Everything was working fine, however in the latter link, in Azure, in the Upload Certificate step, when I get to the step SSL bindings, I get this messsage:
Invalid SSL Binding
The following host names do not match the certificates:
Hostname: mydomain.net -> Certificate Hosts: *.mydomain.net;mydomain.net
Since the certificate is a wildcard certificate
What might be causing that and how might it be fixed?
See answer at top of post. Net: worked in azure management console, did not work in azure portal.
This is also work for portal.azure.com. I did for my web application.
You custom domain and wildcard domain name must me same then bind you ssl with custom domain.
This will work for you.
I am trying to consume the certificate uploaded in azure website(not webrole) in my web app using following config
<microsoft.identityModel>
<!-- Service Configuration -->
<service>
<serviceCertificate>
<certificateReference findValue="2696C50B72CB368AEB11DE3B23CD226252A1BFD" storeLocation="CurrentUser" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindByThumbprint"/>
</serviceCertificate>
<certificateValidation certificateValidationMode="None"/>
</service>
Code works fine on local system. But I am recieving error when deployed to azure website.
ID1024 The configuration property value is not valid
ID1025 Cannot find a unique certificate that matches the criteria
I then tried to browse all the certificates in my azure website(using code). But the certificate list does not contain my uploaded certificate.
Certificate is uploaded and can be seen in azure portal.
Custom domain is mapped and the uploaded certficiate is used against the domain.
But somehow my web app is unable to find the certificate. I tried all possible combination of StoreName and StoreLocation but in vain.
I think there may be some confusion on what the certificates you upload via the Configure tab for Websites are used for. Currently the certificates loaded there are ONLY used for SSL.
When looking at the little help icon next to the certificates section on the configure tab the tooltip states the following:
"This section lets you manage SSL certificates that you can bind to your custom domain names. Binding an SSL certificate to your custom domain name will allow your end users to access your site over HTTPS."
Windows Azure Web Sites exist at a process level, meaning that they can be started up on one machine but move around as the processes go up and down. If you aren't familiar with this I'd suggest reading up on how the hosting model works for Web Sites. Here is an article that covers it: Windows Azure Web Sites - A New Hosting Model for Windows Azure (full disclosure: I wrote the article).
Loading the certificate here I do not believe adds the certificate to any of the stores on the machines your web site runs on. Windows Azure would need to ensure that the cert is always on the machine the site is deployed to and since this is only at a process level and can change frequently (unless you are using standard) it doesn't make sense. The SSL certs are handled differently and as far as I know aren't really deployed to each machine.
As far as I know in order for you to load a certificate and use it you'll either need to look at a web role where loaded certs from the portal ARE placed into the store on the VM or look to see if you can load the certificate manually in code and ship the cert as content on your site (which seems a little less secure to me). I could just be overlooking an option though.
This question will be easy for those who work in cloud services or for those who having some good knowledge about windows azure.
I have a ssl certificate specified its thumbprint and other details in configuration file. When my package is deployed in the cloud service, the certificate doesn't get grouped under trusted certificate group.Insted it gets grouped under intermediate certificate group in all the instances. Because of this I am getting some certificate issue while accessing a site.
On googling I could find from the microsoft blog, that all the certificates from trusted sources will be grouped under trusted certificates in the azure cloud service virtual machines. But here it is not doing so..
Any ideas on this?
Any comments would be really appreciated..
When deploying certificates to an Azure cloud instance, you may have to include more than jus the SSL certificate to secure the domain. You may also have to list any intermediate certificates, as well as the root certificate. Have a look at this article that describes how to confiugre chained certificates for Azure and let me know if it helps at all.

This was due to an os upgrade from Microsoft. It was fixed by them and now this seems to be working perfect..
