This blog post is a quick walk-through and will show how to use let’s encrypt certificates with Azure WebApps. As prerequisites I assume that the following things are done:
- App Service and WebApp is already up and running
- App Service is at least B1 (pricing tier Basic 1)
- A custom domain is already configured
There are 3 main steps that I will describe in this post:
- Add service account and application to Active Directory
- Add the let’s encrypt site extension
- Force https (optional)
