title: Azure Front Door and DNS Configuration for SSL "bare" (without www) Custom Domain
body: <p>I've successfully configured SSL / HTTPS for my custom domain - with a "www" in the URL - using the Azure Front Door product. That configuration required a DNS CNAME entry that forwards "www.cutegoat.com" to "cutegoat.azurefd.net"</p>
  
  <p>I still have an SLL problem when I go to the same URL without the "www" prefix: "<a href="https://cutegoat.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://cutegoat.com</a>"</p>
  
  <p>My A Type DNS record still points to an IP address that Azure gave me for my App Service. I thought about changing that, but the Azure Front Door designer is pretty clear that my "Custom host name" must have a corresponding CNAME record:</p>

  <p>I'm using GoDaddy for my domains and I've added a CNAME record with a source of "cutegoat.com", but I still get the Azure Front Door "CNAME record required" error. That entry let's me add a mapping to "cutegoat.com.cutegoat.com"</p>
  
  <p>I think the Azure Front Door service is looking for a CNAME record with a source value of "@". But I can't enter that CNAME record, my guess is, because I have an A Type record with a source of "@" already.</p>

  <p>Does anyone know the proper DNS / Azure Front Door configuration to get SSL working for my "bare" custom domain?</p>
