Creating and Binding Custom Domains Containing Special Unicode Characters in App Services Using Azure CLI
Introduction
Do you ever come across a requirement where you need to use special Unicode characters in your custom domain names? For example, a domain name containing Chinese characters, such as “你好.com”. There are a few steps that need to be taken to get the custom domain to work with App Services in Azure. In this blog article, we will discuss the process of creating and binding custom domains containing special Unicode characters in App Services using the Azure CLI.Prerequisites
Before you can create and bind a custom domain containing special Unicode characters in App Services, you will need the following prerequisites: * An existing App Service in Azure
* A custom domain name containing special Unicode characters (e.g. 你好.com)
* Access to the Azure CLI
Step 1: Create the App Service
The first step is to create the App Service in Azure. You can do this using the Azure Portal, PowerShell, or the Azure CLI. Here, we will use the Azure CLI to create the App Service. To do this, you can use the following command:az appservice plan create –name MyAppServicePlan –resource-group MyResourceGroup –sku B1 –is-linux
The above command will create an App Service plan in the resource group specified, with the desired SKU.
Step 2: Create the DNS Zone
The next step is to create a DNS Zone in Azure. This can be done using the Azure CLI, with the following command:az network dns zone create –name MyDNSZone –resource-group MyResourceGroup
This will create a DNS Zone in the specified resource group.
Step 3: Add the Custom Domain to the DNS Zone
Once the DNS Zone has been created, you can add the custom domain containing special Unicode characters to the zone. You can do this using the Azure CLI, with the following command:az network dns record-set a add-record –record-set-name mydomain –ipv4-address 123.123.123.123 –zone-name MyDNSZone –resource-group MyResourceGroup
This will add the custom domain to the DNS Zone, and point it to the desired IP address.
Step 4: Enable SSL
The next step is to enable SSL on the custom domain. This can be done using the Azure CLI, with the following command:az webapp config ssl bind –certificate-thumbprint certificate-thumbprint –name MyAppService –resource-group MyResourceGroup –ssl-type SNI
This will enable SSL for the custom domain in the App Service.
Step 5: Bind the Custom Domain
The final step is to bind the custom domain to the App Service. This can be done using the Azure CLI, with the following command:az webapp config hostname add –hostname 你好.com –name MyAppService –resource-group MyResourceGroup
This will bind the custom domain containing special Unicode characters to the App Service.
Conclusion
In this blog article, we discussed the process of creating and binding custom domains containing special Unicode characters in App Services using the Azure CLI. We discussed the prerequisites for doing this, as well as the steps required to complete the process. Hopefully, this article has helped you understand the process of creating and binding custom domains containing special Unicode characters in App Services using the Azure CLI.Popular Questions
