AzureLetsEncrypt

Simple tool to add a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to your websites. This application is a .NET Core tool that generates an SSL certificate, validated it with LetsEncrypt.

2 minutes of a live demo: https://youtu.be/OCKpC1W4Wks

Steps to generate and to validate a certificate

Prerequisite: you must have a website accessible from your domain name (in http). Indeed, the validation of LetsEncrypt tries to check the presence of a file available in your website.

  1. Go to Azure portal, navigate to your Advanced Tools (Kudu environment). And select Debug console / CMD.

  2. Install this tool, using this command:

     dotnet tool install dvoituron.tools.azureletsencrypt --tool-path tools

  3. Run this command, using your domains and password.

     .\tools\AzureLetsEncrypt --domains=mydomain.com,www.mydomain.com --password=MyPassword

  4. You can download your validated Pfx certificate from the subfolder ./store of your website.

  5. In the Azure portal, go to SSL settings panel, to upload your Pfx.

    • Private certificate: upload your Pfx file (using your password)
    • Bindings: Add a SSL Binding using a SNI based

When to renew the certificate?

LetsEncrypt's certificates expire after 90 days. This is an obligation imposed by LetsEncrypt. So, you need to reproduce these steps, each 3 months.
