Ssl – Can’t use (self-signed wildcard) SSL Certificate in Windows Azure Website (WAWS)

azuresslssl-certificate

I want to secure an azure website with a custom domain via SSL.
The website is in the "Standard" Tier, as required.

I've been able to upload my self-signed wildcard certificate, but when I want to bind it to the custom domain name, it is not appearing in the "choose a certificate" dropdown.

enter image description here

Does anybody know why this is?

EDIT

For completeness sake, here's how I generated the self-signed certificate:

  1. Generate a root-certificate
    makecert -pe -n "CN=Mydomain Root" -ss my -a sha1 -sky exchange -r -len 2048 root.mydomain.com.cer
  2. I imported the root-certificate (right-click -> Install Certificate) after which it ended up in the "Personal" certificate store
  3. Generate a wildcard certificate from the root certificate:
    makecert -pe -n "CN=*.mydomain.com" -a sha1 -sky exchange -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -is my -in "Mydomain Root" -sp
    "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12 -ss Personal wildcard.mydomain.com.cer
  4. I exported the pfx file of this wildcard certificate with these settings
  5. I uploaded the exported pfx to azure and tried to bind that to my website's custom domain name.

Best Answer

I haven't found a current link for that, but this post on SO suggests that wildcard certificates are not possible (yet) with Azure Websites.

According to this post on Azure Feedback, it should be available on end of april 2014.

Wildcard domain support is live. You can assign a wildcard certificate to your wildcard domain with an SNI SSL binding. Look for IP SSL support at the end of April.
