Installs and binds certificates on IIS websites and FTP sites.

The service agent on the server fetches the task from the appliance over outbound HTTPS on port 443 and installs the certificate locally on the server. The appliance never connects to the server.

What happens

  1. The service agent on the server fetches the task from the appliance over outbound HTTPS, port 443.
  2. The Windows basics first import the certificate into the Windows certificate store (LocalMachine\My).
  3. HTTPS and FTP bindings that carried the previous certificate switch to the new one. The first time, or when the rule does not follow the previous certificate, only the rule's own bindings change. If it fails: If the change does not read back correctly, the installation reverses it itself, and the result says whether that worked. If it fails before that, nothing is written.
  4. Verification: the package reads the bindings back from IIS. There is no separate verify action.
