  CSR and Cert installation via C# Reply Contact Hello, I am using IIS7 on windows 2008 and need to programatically generate CSRs and install certificates for customers. I cant seem to find any documentation on this, and was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction. On a side note, I am planning to use this on a shared configuration behind a load balancer (BigIP) and am not clear if this will work - does the new IIS bind the port and SSL to host headers, or is the dedicated IP still required ?  If the IP is required, how will IIS know which IP to use on the other boxes in the shared configuration - does it need to have a different dedicated IP on each of the shared configuratino boxes ? Thank you in advance for all the assistance.

Then you don't even need to change anything on IIS. Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: CSR and Cert installation via C# Reply Contact That is one option that we are pursuing, but we need to be able to do it in real time with csr generation and installation with pre-configured vips and the easiest way is through IIS - if going through the BigIP is the only option then thats one thing, but I was wondering what the options are with shared configuration and SSL even if we dont have a bigip.

  Re: CSR and Cert installation via C# Reply Contact Although IIS 7 exposes a rich set of interfaces, I cannot find any related to cert creation. Note that even in the following article, it is documented that WMI and appcmd.exe have such limitations. http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-setup-ssl-on-iis-7/ Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
