 When you purchase GoDaddy certificates, you should get 3 files: *.crt file *.pem file *-key.txt file 1. Change the key file's name to the key extension so any future tools can find it by its extension. 2. If you download and/or open the key file on a Windows computer, your key file may now have the wrong encoding. Use a bash terminal and the  iconv CLI tool to convert to the correct encoding in a new file with a " 2 " added at the end of the filename to indicate the different file: iconv -c -f UTF-8 -t ASCII your-domain-name.key > your-domain-name. 2 .key 3. Convert to the PFX format with the openssl CLI tool: openssl pkcs12 -export -out your-domain-name.pfx -inkey your-domain-name. 2 .key -in your-domain-name.crt 4. You need to enter a new password when creating the PFX. Remember the password, you will need it when you add your certificate to Azure App Service.   5. In the Azure portal, for your App Service, select TLS/SSL settings.  6. Add a new TLS/SSL ...

If you need to change the TLS setting for you Azure web apps, including Bot Framework apps, go to the Azure portal. In the left navigation, select All Resources , sort the table by the type column. Any row with the type of app service may need the TLS setting updated based on on the service announcement here . On each service, select the SSL section , and change the Minimum TLS Version .

Prototyping in MongoDB with the Aggregation Pipeline stage operator $sample The World Map as a visual example In order to show how the random sampling works in the mongoDB query, this NodeJS Express website will show the world map and display random latitude/longitude points on the map. Each refresh of the page will produce new random points. Below the map, the docs will display. Once the website is up and working with data points, we will play with the query to see how the data points change in response. The demonstration video is available on YouTube . Setup steps for the website Setup This article assumes you have no mongoDB, no website, and no data. It does assume you have an account on Compose . Each step is broken out and explained. If there is a step you already have, such as the mongoDB with latitude/longitude data or a website that displays it, skip to the next. get website running, display map with no data setup the mongoDB+ ssl database get mock d...

Introduction In all development processes, you need to perform a security review in order to responsibly handle your user’s data . With my Windows Phone 7 application, the process turned into a huge decision and many incremental steps to handle. This blog post will enumerate how I took my unsecured WP7 app and corresponding Windows Azure website and secured them. This blog includes a detailed step-by-step of deploying a SSL certificate on Windows Azure. Process Summary DNS Name Change : Mapped my subdomain (wazup.berryintl.com) to my Windows Azure subdomain (*.cloudapp.net) via a CName change to my DNS on Network Solutions. Cert Provider : Found an SSL Cert provider. Dev Box/IIS : Created the certificate request in the IIS Manager. Cert Provider : Since I was requesting a wildcard certificate to handle all subdomains as well, I received two files: one for the domain and one to handle the wildcard subdomains. Dev Box/Certificate Manager : The next part of the pr...
