Hide IIS version in azure when ip address entered

Question

I have a site hosted with an azure webapp but cannot hide the iis version on 404 web site not found pages. For example a user can simply ping the website and get the ip, then using that ip address will now give the iis version.

Is there anyway in azure to prevent this showing? i have not found any where that allows you to adjust iis settings within azure.

Thanks for any help

*Update: It appears you can generate a static ip address by adding an ssl certificate and binding it by IP. Before i buy the ssl certificate has anyone else used this method? and will the ip resolve to the site?

Answer 1

You can now hide the Server and X-Powered-By headers by adding an entry to your web.config in system.webServer node:

<security>
  <requestFiltering removeServerHeader ="true" />
</security>
