SSL Offloading does not work

Hello windows experts!

I want to ask you, how can I solve my issue with Windows Azure worker role instances, on which I want to run my Tomcat app.

Everything works fine, the app runs smoothly, but I wanted to use the SSL Offload feature.

I followed the steps as described in:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn621095.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

The worker role machine with my app starts as in the case without the SSL offload, but the app is inaccessible. The generated configuration in ServiceDefinition.csdef seems rather strange to me, as it binds port 31221 to 443. I would expect, that it would bind 8080 to 443, but I might only not see the inner logic. The part of the conf:

    <Endpoints>
      <InputEndpoint name="http" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="asdf" localPort="31221" />
      <InputEndpoint name="http_ARR_PROXY_REDIRECT" protocol="tcp" port="80" localPort="*" />
      <InputEndpoint name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteForwarder.RdpInput" protocol="tcp" port="3389" localPort="*" ignoreRoleInstanceStatus="true" />

Thanks for any suggestions, how to solve this issue!

Thank you for quick reply Nithin. I was trying to get it to work for three days now, I'm strictly following the described steps, but the result is not as expected.

Edit:

I updated my Azure SDK and eclipse plugin, because it seemed to not to start the IIS on azure side.

Now the IIS is started, but the tomcat instance is still not available on the URL: https://{name}.cloudapp.net/{appName}/

It still works without the SSL Offloading. The app is in that case accessible.  

Edit2:

In the end, it was the old azure SDK. The offloading works now like a charm.

You don't have to work on this request anymore, but thanks :)

Best regards,

Tomas
