For example, consider a multi-tenant web app that gives each user his own subdomain for a personal content stream or dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many users felt that the process for this was complicated, as the user would need to add each subdomain individually through the portal, PowerShell cmdlets, or (more realistically) direct API calls. In case SSL is needed, it adds yet another layer of complication as each subdomain would require an individual SSL binding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address this, we have recently introduced the use of wildcard domains. With this, you can add a wildcard domain such as *.contoso.com, which would allow users to access the site using any subdomain (, admin.contoso.com, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of adding a wildcard domain to a site is almost exactly the same as for adding regular domains. To illustrate this, we will walk through adding the wildcard domain <strong>*.lovelyazuresky.com<\/strong>&nbsp;to the site&nbsp;<strong>myazureblog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. The first step is to create a CNAME record with your domain provider, which will resolve the URL a user types in to Azure Websites, and will also be used by Azure Websites for verification of the domain ownership(***). To do so, edit your DNS zone with your DNS provider, and create a * record for your domain (lovelyazuresky.com) that resolves to your Azure Websites URL of <strong>myazureblog.azurewebsites.net<\/strong>. The management interface used by various domain providers differs, but this is how it would look like on GoDaddy\u2019s domain management system:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62-854x1024.webp\" alt=\"graphical user interface, text, application, email\" class=\"wp-image-35688 webp-format\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62-854x1024.webp 854w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62-250x300.webp 250w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62-768x921.webp 768w, https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62.webp 877w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-62-854x1024.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-63.webp\" alt=\"picture of a security disclosure\" class=\"wp-image-35690 webp-format\" style=\"width:898px;height:auto\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-63.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Before proceeding to the next step, use the NSLOOKUP utility or PING to confirm that your wildcard domain resolves to Azure correctly (as in, any subdomain under lovelyazuresky.com would resolve to an Azure URL similar to the below). If it doesn\u2019t, wait a while and try again. Until the record resolves correctly, you will not be able to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-64.webp\" alt=\"text\" class=\"wp-image-35691 webp-format\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-64.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. The next step is adding the domain to the site configuration in Azure, as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-65.webp\" alt=\"graphical user interface, text, application\" class=\"wp-image-35693 webp-format\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-65.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since you already configured the CNAME record, the verification should succeed and the checkmark on the right would appear to confirm it. If you receive an error, give it a little time \u2013 it could take up to a few hours for the DNS record to be created with some domain providers. If after a few hours you still cannot add the domain, contact Microsoft support for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the configuration is saved, the domain is ready for action, and all first-level subdomains of&nbsp;<strong>lovelyazuresky.com<\/strong>&nbsp;will point to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-ssl\">Adding SSL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you also want to add an SSL binding to the wildcard domain, the certificate must be a&nbsp;<strong>wildcard<\/strong>&nbsp;certificate to cover the full breadth of the wildcard domain.&nbsp;Both&nbsp;<strong>SNI SSL<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>IP SSL<\/strong>&nbsp;bindings are supported. When everything is done, the SSL configuration will look like the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-66.webp\" alt=\"graphical user interface, text, application, email\" class=\"wp-image-35694 webp-format\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-66.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if we want to use a different binding and certificate on one or more of the subdomains? This can be done in a natural way by adding (for example)&nbsp;<strong>payments.lovelyazuresky.com<\/strong>&nbsp;to the site and creating an SSL binding on it, which for this subdomain will override the wildcard binding on&nbsp;<strong>*.lovelyazuresky.com<\/strong>.&nbsp;You can even do this across&nbsp;multiple sites, allowing specific subdomains to go to a totally different site with a different SSL binding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post was written by Michael Candido, Software Development Engineer on the Azure Web Sites Team<\/p>\n<p>Some web
