I have an API running in an Azure VM. The VM has a public IP and it is hosted on IIS. HTTPs and DNS is configured and the API can be accessed using the URL (Let’s say the URL for that API is https://example.com). So it works as expected. No issues.
So I want to make the API more secured so now I deployed an Azure Firewall and created a DNAT rule and added the translated IP as the private IP of that VM. So now I can access the API through the Azure Firewall using the public IP of that Azure Firewall and now we don’t need the public access to the API VM. But my question is how to configure SSL certificates for the Azure Firewall?
If I access the public IP of the firewall it loads the API but not HTTPS configured. Can we upload SSL certificates to Azure Firewall? Or else how to configure HTTPS?
Hi i think the azure Firewall does not support SSL termination directly. itis designed to provide network-level protection, and SSL termination is handled by the application servers themselves
@MohamedAzarudeenZ If I use Azure Application Gateway, should we still need to upload the certificates?
Yes, when using Azure Application Gateway for SSL termination, you need to upload SSL certificates
