Jim, this was really helpful. I've got a little addition that might be of help to anyone who wants to simulate this working but not get the warning about the certificate not matching the certificate (during testing): if you modify your hosts file to map 127.0.0.1 to the name of the self-signed certificate you won't get a certificate warning (on your local machine). Please do note that a) be careful with this - if you forget you did this you'll eventually be sorry so "handle with care"; b) this will only work if you redirect your page on launch to the new name; and c) this is obviously not going to work up in the Azure fabric - however you're going to want a real certificate for that anyway!

Regards,

Dave Remmer

Great post!

I have tried implementing this on the cloud, and I noticed there are a couple of steps before deploying the solution (deploy the certificates etc.)

are there any thoughts about deploying the certificates along with the cspkg?

Thanks DaveT, great post.

With the November release, you can no longer deploy the certificates with the cspkg.

In other words, this post is now obsolete and will be updated with the new mechanism (similar to your post in fact)

thanks jnak, I noticed that there was a way of doing it with the previous sdk, I thought I may have been missing something. Good to have confimation.
