This blog post is the start of a series on how to work with client certificates in Azure API Management to setup a mutual TLS (mTLS) connection. While Azure’s official documentation provides excellent guidance on setting up client certificates via the Azure Portal, we’ll dive into utilizing Bicep and the Azure CLI, to automate the process. In this first post, we’ll cover the basics of how to validate client certificates in API Management.
In this post I explain how to deploy an Azure workbook using Bicep and set environment specific variables. I’ll also show how to deploy a shared kusto function in Application Insights with the Azure CLI.
