* The certificate's subject name must match the domain used to access the cloud service. You cannot obtain an SSL certificate from a certificate authority (CA) for the cloudapp.net domain. You must acquire a custom domain name to use when access your service. When you request a certificate from a CA, the certificate's subject name must match the custom domain name used to access your application. For example, if your custom domain name is **contoso.com** you would request a certificate from your CA for ***.contoso.com** or **www\.contoso.com**.

For test purposes, you can [create](cloud-services-certs-create.md) and use a self-signed certificate. A self-signed certificate is not authenticated through a CA and can use the cloudapp.net domain as the website URL. For example, the following task uses a self-signed certificate in which the common name (CN) used in the certificate is **sslexample.cloudapp.net**.

Then, add the certificate information to your CSDEF and CSCFG files, repackage your application, and update your staged deployment to use the new package.
