PowerShell steps to create free App Service Managed Certificate

[Ayanmullick]

Is there documentation on how one could create a free App Service Managed Certificate thru PowerShell? The steps aren't included in the script on the page.

Hello @Ayanmullick, Thank you for your feedback! We will review and update as appropriate.

@Ayanmullick, You may use the workaround script to use with PowerShell.

Thanks @AjayKumar-MSFT , I was able to deploy the certificate using the workaround. How do I provide the path and the password for the cmdlet for binding?

New-AzWebAppSSLBinding -WebAppName $webappname -ResourceGroupName $webappname -Name $fqdn -CertificateFilePath $pfxPath -CertificatePassword $pfxPassword -SslState SniEnabled

@Ayanmullick I believe CertificateFilePath and CertificatePassword are for uploading a certificate, since the managed certificate is already available you will need to specify the thumbprint of it using the Thumbprint parameter instead. You will need to dynamically retrieve the thumbprint of the newly created managed certificate similar to how the workaround template does it.

"certificateThumprint": {
    "value": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Web/certificates', variables('certificateName'))).Thumbprint]"
}

[Ayanmullick]

$(Get-AzWebAppCertificate -ResourceGroupName <>).Thumbprint got the thumbprint and was able to do the binding too.

Thanks @AjayKumar-MSFT and @krispenner. It'd be great if a certificate creation cmdlet could be added to Az.Websites PowerShell module
