Azure only allows Verisign certificates

I am looking to install a certificate on my Azure hosted site but from what I can see they only accept Verisign certifi开发者_运维知识库cates. This is unfortunate as Verisign is very expensive. Are there any alternatives?

Looks like this was answered on the Windows Azure MSDN forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazuresecurity/thread/cbc96ef9-d5cf-42db-a968-928c805f5a56

Hello, I'll list the CA installed on the cloud machines for DigiCert and Go Daddy:

DigiCert Assured ID Root CA

DigiCert Global Root CA

DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA

Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority

So in most cases, your existing certificates should work fine.
