I have been using the new Windows Azure Websites preview to build a site for a customer. I recently deployed this site, and moved it to a reserved instance so that I could configure a custom domain for the site as required by the customer. So far so good.
My next step is to secure the site using an SSL certificate. I have searched long and hard on the azure website (as well as stackoverflow) but have not been able to locate any information on how to configure an SSL cert for a reserved website instance.
I have seen many examples of doing this with a web role (cloud service) but not for a reserved website.
Does anyone know if this is currently possible? Or is this perhaps one of the reasons why azure websites are still in a preview mode?
Update: Found a post on the Azure Forum indicating that this is not possible in the current release, but is coming soon in a future release. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazurewebsitespreview/thread/4bf975e7-56c0-4a4d-bb6a-b9b82f0da469
In the Azure portal, from the left menu, select App Services > <app-name>. From your app's navigation menu, select TLS/SSL settings > Private Key Certificates (. pfx) > Import App Service Certificate. Select the certificate that you just purchased, and then select OK.
These TLS/SSL certificates can be stored in Azure Key Vault, and allow secure deployments of certificates to Linux virtual machines (VMs) in Azure.
Azure portal To renew a listener certificate from the portal, navigate to your application gateway listeners. Select the listener that has a certificate that needs to be renewed, and then select Renew or edit selected certificate. Upload your new PFX certificate, give it a name, type the password, and then select Save.
I did a quick google and found this link. It has some useful information.
Thanks to @twomm here is a TLDR of the situation:
just to keep everybody from clicking through, this is the current state there: "We are shooting for April or May for this feature"
