What my end goal was to have http deployments to one region and https deployments to another region which were configured via the IIS site and app pool setup step. How I accomplished this was by adding 3 variables that changed between regions:
binding-type -> Protocol Field
binding-port -> Port Field
ssl-thumbprint -> SSL Thumbprint Field
I then scoped these variables for the different regions so that I could deploy too both http and https from variables. When I deployed to the http region it worked and the variables were:
binding-type -> “http”
binding-port -> “8086”
ssl-thumbprint -> “”
But when I tried to deploy to the SSL region it did not work because the ssl thumbprint was received as blank. Here were the variables
binding-type -> “https”
binding-port -> “443”
ssl-thumbprint -> “”
On the UI the bindings list does not show the ssl thumbprint on the screen which I thought was also odd.
I dont know if this is a bug or just by design but it seems like this should work so any help would be appreciated.
