Azure Application gateway cannot upload pfx certificate

Question

For Application gateway all documentation says to upload pfx certificate but when I go to http settings for backend pool it only allows ".cer" certificate and it wont allow ".pfx" file to be uploaded, error displayed says wrong format ? mi doing something wrong or somehow Azure has changed functionality but documentation is still not uploaded . Strangely through this command I am able to upload PFX

az network application-gateway ssl-cert create

Screenshot attached

Update : I am trying to do this for an existing Application Gateway Update 2 : Strangely when I am creating a gateway Azure shows me option for PFX but I dont know why it become cer if I am trying to do this for an existing one.

Is this one of Microsoft's easter eggs??

Answer 1

It seems you select wrong entrance on Portal.

If you configure Add HTTP setting , you really need a .cer certificate.

More information please refer to this link .

The command az network application-gateway ssl-cert create is used for configure SSL. You could find it on Portal Settings--Listener .
