Private certificate requirements

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-certificate?tabs=apex%2Cportal#private-certificate-requirements

This section's title says "Private certificate" but the requirement mentions "Signed by a trusted certificate authority". This essentially means App Services needs a "Public CA certificate" only, and Private CA or Self-signed are not allowed.

If this understanding is correct, it would be good to call this as "BYOC Public CA Certificate requirement". As the current info gives an impression of private CA support.

Thanks

Private certs can be used for a number of purposes beyond just TLS bindings for custom domains in App Services.
