### Description{% #description %}

Azure Web Apps must accept only HTTPS traffic to protect data in transit from interception, tampering, and credential or session-token exposure. For Ansible deployments using the `azure_rm_webapp` or `azure.azcollection.azure_rm_webapp` module, the `https_only` property must be defined and set to `true` (or `yes`). Tasks that omit `https_only` or set it to a `false` value are flagged.

Secure configuration example:

```yaml
- name: Create web app with HTTPS only
  azure.azcollection.azure_rm_webapp:
    name: my-webapp
    resource_group: my-rg
    plan: my-plan
    https_only: yes
```

## Compliant Code Examples{% #compliant-code-examples %}

```yaml
- name: Create a windows web app with non-exist app service plan
  azure_rm_webapp:
    resource_group: myResourceGroup
    name: myWinWebapp
    https_only: true
    plan:
      resource_group: myAppServicePlan_rg
      name: myAppServicePlan
      is_linux: false
      sku: S1
```

      resource_group: myAppServicePlan_rg
      name: myAppServicePlan
