In an Azure app service > security, the following warning is displayed:

Azure security warning

Question How to set the application for https only?

Already tried:

  • edit the web.config in app service editor (XML) to create a redirection rule, which seems to be working but not removing the warning
  • enable https only in custom domains (off -> ON)
  • found a setting in an ARM template that seems to be related to this, but cannot edit template for the existing app
  • looked for a solution in appsettings.json (not found)

Thank you for your help!

If you go via Advisor - Security, you can click on the recommendations to see Description, General information, Threats and Remediation Steps.

For your recommendation, this is available:

Remediation steps
To redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, we recommend the following steps:
1. Go to the app service custom domains page
2. In the HTTPS Only toggle select On

I can imagine recommendations wil not be update right away. Besides a statement these are held in cache somewhere, I could not find any documentation on how often recommendations are refreshed.

Update - found this:

Advisor relies on backend telemetry to update its recommendation list. There will always be some delay between resolving a recommendation and seeing it removed from the list. If more people also feel strongly about this issue, we can prioritize accordingly.
