Hi,

I'm using multi-tenant Azure App Service Plan and know I can't add a Root certificate (https://azure.github.io/AppService/2021/06/22/Root-CA-on-App-Service-Guide.html#how-to-get-a-list-of-trusted-root-ca-on-app-service-using-kudu).

I made a list of the certs in the Web App:

Can anyone explain to me why there are no Google Trust Services LLC (GTS Root R4) available?

I'm not requesting my own obscure root certificate but a root certificate from Google, which is a big player.

    Hi Yvonne Arnoldus,

    A number of factors could explain the missing Google Trust Services LLC (GTS Root R4) root certificate in your Azure App Service Plan. Not all of the wished major providers root certificates are included, and even the App Services may not encompass all of the root certificates, so there is prone to be a change in the trusted root certificates depending on the service or environment.

    Even though Google is a major name in the world of certificate authority, the fact that Google root certificate is not included in Azure trusted certificate list is purely a business decision Microsoft has to make. The list could be missing certificates due to factors like compatibility, security, or other operational reasons.

    check the official Microsoft documentation on Azure Certificate Authority for specific information about trusted root certificates used in Azure.
