Enable HTTPS for Azure cloud service (Virtual Machine running Linux Server)

Question

I'm trying to enable HTTPS on my Azure cloud service. It doesn't belong to azurewebsites. I'm using a self-signed certificate, already generated. Following this guide I encounter a problem: I'm not able to access to the .csdef file to modify WebRole section to create a proper endpoint as described in the guide.

I would like to know if there's any method to enable HTTPS using self-signed certificates through the Azure Portal.

I tried to open the 443 port naming the endpoint HTTPS, using TCP protocol; unfortunately I notice that modifying the .csdef file instead it's possible to apply the https protocol directly.

Can you help me? I'm kind of stuck at the moment.

The Service configuration file and Service package were placed in storage. With Get Package (REST API) you can retrieve cloud service package that used for deployment before.

Also here is a more detailed article: Download Microsoft Azure Cloud Service Package files , hope it do help.
