How to add an SSL certificate to an azure website using powershell?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23066463

Question

I am working on automatic deployment + azure. I'm at the point where i'm adding an ssl cert to the website. Does anyone know how to use PowerShell to upload an SSL certificate to a website using the PowerShell command (Add - Get - Set based commands)? I'm able to add a certificate to a cloud service using ...

New-AzureService $Program -Location 'East US'
Add-AzureCertificate -Password Cert123! -ServiceName $Program -CertToDeploy $CertLocation

but I have no idea how to add it to an azure website.

Thanks

edit: I've found a way using the following command, but i'm not wanting to install additional libraries on my production deployment machine.

azure site cert add -k Cert123! $CertLocation $Program

As far as I know the Azure PowerShell cmdlets do not offer this capability at the moment that I could find. As you point out the Cross Platform Command Line tool does. Since you don't want to add the XPlat-CLI tool to your deployment machines you can use what the XPlat-CLI tool does under the hood: a direct call against the REST api for web site management.

Note you'll need to figure out what webspace the site resides in, etc. You can use the Invoke-WebRequest to make this call so that you can verify you get that 200 response back. Or you could use the Invoke-RESTMethod as well, but that would only return an XML document (the contents of the response). The Invoke-WebRequest provides you a little more control and access to the full response object.

The Microsoft Azure Management Libraries (which the PowerShell cmdlets sit on top of) has a Web Site Management piece to it. One of the operations is an update to a site and that includes a WebSiteUpdateParameters object with a SSLCertificates property. You may check into that as well, though I've not done this myself.

OTHER TIPS

Using the newly released Azure PowerShell v. 1.1.0, you can use the following command to upload a certificate to your website

New-AzureRmWebAppSSLBinding -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup -WebAppName mytestapp -CertificateFilePath PathToPfxFile -CertificatePassword PlainTextPwd -Name www.contoso.com
