Research direction

Start with the Azure Functions Java developer guide and the documentation for WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES and the CurrentUser\My Store location. Determine how Java code accesses the loaded certificates and provide a Java example for the documented self-signed certificate setup. Done means the guide answers both questions without relying on C# examples.

Description

area:java-functions

This is not a bug:
I couldn't find anywhere in the documents on Azure functions Java developer guide on how to access the self-signed certificates uploaded through function app settings. All examples quoted are from C#.

I have loaded the SSL CA root and Intermediate (self-signed) into SSL configurations on the azure functions. I have following app settings WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES = * to export all the certificates into the Azure runtime.

Question:

  1. Docs says the certificates get loaded into a CurrentUser\My Store How would I access that location from Java?
  2. Any example would be really useful.
