    You cannot vote on your own postHi,

    I created a certificate  ssl.cer on CA using the  certificate request.

    Now I want to import this certificate into Certificate store on the server for which request was created and bind it to IIS on port 443.

    I know how to do this using GUI.

    I  am looking to do it using command line so that I can automate it in a batch script.

    Please help me.

    Ankur

    Hi,

    Try a web search and then you don't need to wait for an answer in the forum. For example:

    Here is the SDK method for installin a pfx file as a certificate.

    ' args are pfxfile, pfxfilepassword, WebFarmServers, username, password
Set iiscertobj = WScript.CreateObject("IIS.CertObj")
pfxfile = WScript.Arguments(0)
pfxfilepassword = WScript.Arguments(1)
InstanceName = WScript.Arguments(2)
WebFarmServers = split(WScript.Arguments(3), ",")
iiscertobj.UserName = WScript.Arguments(4)
iiscertobj.UserPassword = WScript.Arguments(5)
For Each IISServer in WebFarmServers
  iiscertobj.ServerName = IISServer
  iiscertobj.InstanceName = InstanceName
  iiscertobj.Import pfxfile, pfxfilepassword, true, true
Next

    Here is how to convert a CER to a PFX.

    To import the certificate, I use Certutil. Take a look here for the command line reference.

    To bind the cert use netsh. Read here.
