I have been using the new Windows Azure Websites preview to build a site for a customer. I recently deployed this site, and moved it to a reserved instance so that I could configure a custom domain for the site as required by the customer. So far so good.
My next step is to secure the site using an SSL certificate. I have searched long and hard on the azure website (as well as stackoverflow) but have not been able to locate any information on how to configure an SSL cert for a reserved website instance.
I have seen many examples of doing this with a web role (cloud service) but not for a reserved website.
Does anyone know if this is currently possible? Or is this perhaps one of the reasons why azure websites are still in a preview mode?
Update: Found a post on the Azure Forum indicating that this is not possible in the current release, but is coming soon in a future release. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazurewebsitespreview/thread/4bf975e7-56c0-4a4d-bb6a-b9b82f0da469
I did a quick google and found this link. It has some useful information.
Thanks to @twomm here is a TLDR of the situation:
just to keep everybody from clicking through, this is the current state there: "We are shooting for April or May for this feature"
