I'm now looking to migrate everything to a live, production environment and open it up to customers to log in securely to the Umbraco admin section, but I need to secure all logins.
I've been reading a few forum posts and Microsoft MDSN pages on how to upload an SSL Cert on Azure but they are not helpful - I think!
I've purchased a SSL Web Server Certificate with Thawte and can download the cert in X509 or PK7SC format. I used a set of powershell commands (See below) to convert a .cer to .pfx and set a password but when I come to create a new Production Deployment in Azure I receive the message:
I'm using the Umbraco on Windows Azure Step-by-Step guide PDF document but this doesn't document SSL certificates and I'm stuck here. Does anyone else have any experience here?
This has been solved. It was due to an incorrectly issued Thawte certificate, which meant that the Private Key was not being correctly picked up in the installed certificate under MMC.
Can you tell me how to get the https working when deploying umbraco through the accelrator? I have uploaded the certificate, but do i need to set any endpoints in the accelrator before uploading it or what?
I figured it out! You have to put two files next to the root of your website in your storage location.
You put in www.mysite.com.pfx and www.mysite.com.pfx.txt
.pfx is your cert. .pfx.txt is your cert password.
The umbraco accelerator will pick up the cert and installing! You don't have to do anything else!
This took like three months for me to figure out...
One thing to note is that steve marx said you might have to have your file like this "www-mysite-com.pfx" and "www-mysite-com.pfx.txt" because of teh way the umbraco accelerator worked. I tried both ways, and I think it worked with www.mysite.com, but I have both files in there just to be sure :).

I cant get it to work....
I can't get this to work either. I have the cert up, but my webrole says "waiting for node to start..." and never leaves that state.
