Question

Configure IIS 6 website SSL port programmatically?

Answer 1

+4 A:

If you mean just setting the port NUMBER programmatically, you can use the metabase command line tool (by default in C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts):

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/securebindings ":nnn:"

where nnn is the port number (e.g., ":443:"). (If you have more than one site on the server, you will need to substitute w3svc/x/securebindings, where x is the web site ID.)

If you actually need to install the CERTIFICATE programmatically, from what I gather there's a script in the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit to do it (IISCertDeploy.vbs) but I've not tried it.

Oh Excellent!! how about set up the SSL certificate name associate with it?

I believe this is what IISCertDeploy.vbs is supposed to do, although again I haven't tried it so you may have to play around with it.

I found something interesting and thought share with you.after setting up the ssl port of the site as you mentioned above, all I need to do is to use httpcfg to set ssl for the same port. In IIS website, it will show port is with the right cert. Thanks.
