[WiX-users] How to create a website with HTTPS using WIX

[Nageswara Rao]

Hi Team,

Could you please let me know how to create a website with HTTPS and below is
the code, what I am working

<util:User Id="AppPoolUser" CreateUser="no" Domain="DOMAIN"
Name="[APPPOOLUSER]" Password="[APPPOOLPWD]" RemoveOnUninstall="yes"/>
<iis:WebAppPool Id="AppPoolId" Name="AppPool"
Identity="other" User="AppPoolUser" RecycleMinutes="600"
ManagedPipelineMode="integrated"/>
<iis:WebSite Id="ID"
Description="APP-IT1" AutoStart="yes" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"
StartOnInstall="yes" WebApplication="WebAppID">
<iis:WebAddress Id="Webadreess" Port="8080" IP="*"
Header="[HOSTNAME]" Secure="yes"/>
</iis:WebSite>

I was able to create a website with HTTPS from the above but when I try to
access it from IIS, it’s not accessible. I believe we should add SSL
certificate to website to make it run. Please let me know how we can create
that SSL Certificate from WIX and make website accessible with “HTTPS”

Well if you're creating a website versus using an existing one, then pretty much all of your IIS authoring needs to be in components. That's a pretty unusual pattern in practice. Usually, my app pool, virtual directory, and web applications authoring is in components but I use the website elements only to identify an existing website.

In any case, I'm not seeing any components at all in your sample which would create a host of issues.

When I'd created a new website in IIS and wanted to bind a certificate to the
IP address, I didn't find a WiX element that would do it. At the time, I
used a shell script to do this binding, using netsh. I ran the shell script
as a custom action. This probably isn't the most robust way to do it. So I
am eager to hear alternatives.

Hi. I came up against this too. I had the server SSL certificate in (Local machine\my) already. I wrote a custom action in C# to take the name of the website as a parameter and install the certificate into the website given the certificate's 'friendly id' using the Microsoft.Web.Administration library. (I set a useful friendly id to match the targeted fully qualified host header on the SSL certificate so that it would show up as something identifiable in IIS at the end of this activity).

I posted on Stack Overflow with a similar question, but didn't get an answer. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12427654/assign-ssl-certificate-that-is-already-installed-on-a-server-to-an-https-binding) - As stated - I can't give the code over, but the general idea should be enough for a good developer to manage it.

Hope that helps. Si.
