Need self signed SSL certificate for your IIS?

There is a quick and easy way to create and configure one with SelfSSL tool found in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools

eg. selfssl.exe /N:CN=foo,DC=com /V:1000 /S:1712415826

If you have multiple sites (as I do) you’ll need a Site ID. I could not find it in the IIS administration GUI (it must be there!) so I found this neat script on David Wang blog

OPTION EXPLICIT

DIM CRLF, TAB

CRLF = CHR( 13 ) & CHR( 10 )

IF WScript.Arguments.Length = 1 THEN
    strServer = WScript.Arguments( 0 )
ELSE
    strServer = "localhost"
END IF

WScript.Echo "Enumerating websites on " & strServer & CRLF
SET objWebService = GetObject( "IIS://" & strServer & "/W3SVC" )
EnumWebsites objWebService
