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

Answer 1

Using PowerShell + netsh:

$certificateName = 'example.com'
$thumbprint = Get-ChildItem -path cert:\LocalMachine\My | where { $_.Subject.StartsWith("CN=$certificateName") } | Select-Object -Expand Thumbprint
$guid = [guid]::NewGuid().ToString("B")
netsh http add sslcert ipport="0.0.0.0:443" certhash=$thumbprint certstorename=MY appid="$guid"

If you need a named binding, replace netsh call with this:

netsh http add sslcert hostnameport="$certificateName:443" certhash=$thumbprint certstorename=MY appid="$guid"
