I am following instructions from this website on how to add a certificate to my azure hosted website. That seems to be the most common method people use to add https to their azure website

I created a CSR in IIS manager and have it fulfilled by the CA(Godaddy in this case) I get a .crt and a .p7b. I hit "Complete Certificate Request" in IIS manager and the cert gets added. From the added certificate I'm supposed to export it as a .PFX but IIS manager has no option to export. IIS Manager Instead all i see is renew. If I try to do this through MMC exporting the certificate as a .pfx is just grayed out.

What am I Doing wrong?

On the IIS Machine that you created the certificate on, you will need to connect to the Local Computer Certificate manager and export the certificate from there.

Steps:

Start -> Run -> MMC

Once the MMC is up to go

File -> Add/Remove Snapin..

Select the Certificate Snap-in and follow prompts to added local computer.

Adding Local computer Certificate Manager

Once Local Computer certificate manager has been added, navigate to the personal certificate store. You should see the certificate you created with a key next to it indicating its a certificate with private key.

Certificate with private key

From that section you should be able to export certificate.

Hope this helps.
