A Step-by-Step Guide to Adding TLS/SSL in Azure App Service
In today’s digital age, security is of utmost importance. Websites and applications must be secured with a Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate to ensure that data transmitted between the server and the client is encrypted and secure. If you’re hosting your web application on Azure App Service, adding TLS/SSL is easy and straightforward.
Step 1: Obtain a TLS/SSL Certificate
The first step in adding TLS/SSL to your Azure App Service is to obtain a TLS/SSL certificate. You can either purchase a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) or use a self-signed certificate. While self-signed certificates are free, they are not recommended for production environments as they are not verified by a trusted third-party CA.
Step 2: Upload the TLS/SSL Certificate to Azure App Service
Once you have obtained a TLS/SSL certificate, the next step is to upload it to Azure App Service. To upload the certificate, navigate to your Azure App Service and select “TLS/SSL settings” under the “Settings” menu. From there, click on “Private Key Certificates (.pfx)” and then select “Upload Certificate.” Here, you’ll be prompted to upload the certificate and provide a password.
