Install root and intermediate certificates in Azure Web App?

Question

I have an Azure web application that communicates with a third-party API that uses OAuth 1.0a or similar, and this requires an SSL certificate. The provided SSL certificate that I need to use comes with its own certificate chain (root, intermediate, and SSL certificate).

I exported the certificate chain to a .pfx file and uploaded it to the SSL certificate section in the Azure preview portal and use WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES * in the application settings.

The problem is that root and intermediate certificates are not imported. Is this the expected behavior and how to fix it? Or is it not supported by Azure Web Apps?

Edit:

The certificate chain export method is used using PowerShell:

 Export-PfxCertificate -Force -ChainOption BuildChain –Cert cert:\localmachine\my\#mythumbprint# –FilePath c:\temp\myexport.pfx -Password $(ConvertTo-SecureString -String "password" -Force –AsPlainText)

This is not the expected behavior. According to this blog post, intermediate and chain certificates should be automatically imported and configured, assuming your certificate has been downloaded after a certain date: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2015/06/01/intermediate-tls-certificates -for-azure-app-service-web-apps /

(If it still does not work, it may indicate a problem with the underlying platform, in which case the best approach is to post on the official MSDN Azure App Service forum.)
