var x509Certificate2 = new X509Certificat         


        

Answer 1

In Azure Websites / Web App / Mobile App - you have to use App Service Plan that allwos you to import SSL certificate - so it shoud not be a Free or Shared. You can import not only SSL certificate, but also for an example code signing cerificate and use it in signtool or from PowerShell.

I used this method in https://vmplace.eu/

If you try to use a Free or Shared plan you receive error - so in Azure in these Plans there is other version of .NET framework.

You can refer to this project also: https://github.com/onovotny/SignService
