How to assign a SSL Certificate to IIS7 Site from Command Prompt

Question

Can you advise me whether it is possible or not to assign a SSL Certificate to a website in IIS7 using the APPCMD application?

I am familiar with the command to set the HTTPS Binding

appcmd set site /site.name:"A Site" /+bindings.[protocol='https',bindingInformation='*:443:www.mysite.com']

and how to obtain current mappings

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\Appcmd

but can not seem to find any way to map a site to a certificate (say the certificates hash for example)

Answer 1

The answer is to use NETSH. For example

netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=baf9926b466e8565217b5e6287c97973dcd54874 appid={ab3c58f7-8316-42e3-bc6e-771d4ce4b201}

Answer 2

Hi!

When using the NETSH, how do I find the guid appid for a web site on my server?

Thx.

This helped me a lot: a simple guide, by Sukesh Ashok Kumar, to setting up SSL for IIS from the command line. Includes importing/generating the certificate with certutil / makecert.
