SSL/TLS for Azure Virtual Machine with Key Vault, DNS and Application Gateway
V6.0.10
This workload allows for the automatic creation, installation and renewal of a SSL/TLS certificate for Azure Virtual Machines using :
STEPS
Step 1 : Create the SSL/TLS Certificate
- Create the SSL/TLS certificate in the RCL Portal by using either the :
- Azure DNS + Key Vault option
- Azure DNS + Key Vault SAN option
- The SAN option allow for two domains (wild card + naked domain, eg: *.contoso.com, contoso.com) on the certificate, whereas, the other option only allows one domain on the certificate.
Step 2 : Certificate Automatically Imported to Key Vault
- After creation, the certificate is automatically imported to Azure Key Vault
- Check for the certificate name and version in Azure Key Vault
Step 3 : TLS Termination with Azure Application Gateway
Application Gateway supports TLS termination at the gateway, after which traffic typically flows unencrypted to the backend servers or virtual machines.
- Learn about : TLS Termination with Application Gateway
- Learn about : Virtual Machines with Application Gateway
-
After creating and installing the SSL/TLS certificate in Azure Key Vault using the RCL portal, follow the instructions in the link below to configure TLS termination with the Key Vault certificate and Application Gateway V2 :
- Configure TLS termination with Key Vault certificates and Application Gateway V2
Step 4 : Automatically Renewing a SSL/TLS Certificate
SSL/TLS Certificates will expire within 90 days. Follow these instructions to automatically renew the certificate.
- Use the RCL AutoRenew Function to automatically renew certificates
- The certificates will be automatically renewed , imported to Key Vault and the TLS termination with Application gateway will be updated without any user interaction being required
