I have an azure cloud service (WebRole) and I want to purchase an SSL certificate.

What is the technical requirements to purchase this certificate? An SSL provider like godaddy offers 256-bit encryption certificate but Azure documentation said that The certificate must use a minimum of 2048-bit encryption, I no one provide such length.

GoDaddy provides certificates that work with Azure just fine. We use them quiet well (just installed a new one yesterday)

Here's a helpful blog that seems to address the "how-to" http://blog.amusedia.com/2011/10/setting-up-secure-windows-azure-web.html
