For Application gateway all documentation says to upload pfx certificate but when I go to http settings for backend pool it only allows ".cer" certificate and it wont allow ".pfx" file to be uploaded, error displayed says wrong format ? m i doing something wrong or somehow Azure has changed functionality but documentation is still not uploaded . Strangely through this command I am able to upload PFX

az network application-gateway ssl-cert create

Screenshot attached

Update : I am trying to do this for an existing Application Gateway Update 2 : Strangely when I am creating a gateway Azure shows me option for PFX but I dont know why it become cer if I am trying to do this for an existing one.

Is this one of Microsoft's easter eggs??

It seems you select wrong entrance on Portal.

If you configure Add HTTP setting, you really need a .cer certificate.

More information please refer to this link.

The command az network application-gateway ssl-cert create is used for configure SSL. You could find it on Portal Settings--Listener.
