Why doesn't the portal UI work for multiple hostnames, and why only 5 hostnames allowed?

The Application Gateway v2 / WAF V2 allows listeners with multiple hostnames, but only using the CLI interface.

  1. Why isn't the portal updated to allow this yet? It's fairly fundamental functionality isn't it?

  2. Why only 5 hostnames? We have (for reasons) many hostnames for 1 site, so we've had to make 5 listeners with 5 hosts in each

Hello @NigelMorse-1617 ,

Apologies for the delay in response. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

Wildcard host names in listener is currently in Preview and the portal rollout is in the roadmap.
I have reached out to the Application gateway Product Group team to check if they have any ETA available for portal release and the reason for allowing only 5 hostnames. I will keep you posted as and when I get an update from them.

Thanks,
Gita

Hello @NigelMorse-1617 ,

Below is the update from the PG:

  1. Azure portal support for Wildcard host names in listener is currently in works and the ETA for it's rollout is by end of June 2021.

  2. With multi-site listener you can support 5 wildcard hostnames at this point and this is a preview feature limitation. We may evaluate increasing this limit in the next semester ensuring no performance impact, but no timelines currently. You may provide your feedback regarding same in the below forum for future improvements:
