Trusted root certificate on azure app services

I have an asp.net mvc app that needs to access a backend api and several services that is using self signed certs. Have no control over forcing client to use proper certs.

On my development environment, i am installing the self signed certs on Trusted Root Certificates to have it work.

However, I am facing SSL certification error when connecting to those services after publishing the asp.net mvc app to azure app services but I am unable to find a way to overcome this.

Is there any way that I can overcome this challenge like installing self sign cert on azure app services? I would not like to ignore ssl error in code level if possible as this would require changes on multiple part in code.

Limitation:

  1. Production Backend API and other services provided by client is using self signed cert
  2. The asp.net mvc app must be hosted on azure app services provided by client

Answering based on your requirements that you only need to connect to a private endpoint that has a private cert (your app service can have a public endpoint).

Try to follow the guide outlined here to first upload the private certificate chain: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-certificate#upload-a-private-certificate (make sure to include the whole chain).

Once you upload the private cert, follow this guide to access it from your code: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-certificate-in-code

From there you should be able to use the certificate as needed within your code.
