IIS Manager

As explained in Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core

IIS Manager is the graphical administration tool for configuring Internet Information Services and its hosted websites.

IIS Manager is the graphical administration tool for configuring Internet Information Services and the websites it hosts. Its dashboard provides an accessible starting point for deployment configuration. section 12.3.5

A deployment workflow uses IIS Manager to:

• Open the IIS Manager dashboard and access IIS configuration settings. section 12.3.5
• Import an SSL/TLS origin certificate after converting PEM and KEY files into a PFX file. section 12.3.5
• Reach the Import Certificate and Management Service configuration windows. section 12.3.5

How Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core covers it

How deep it goes

Demonstrates dashboard access and certificate import, while deferring broader IIS settings to the graphical interface.

Examples

Uses the IIS Manager dashboard, Import Certificate window, and Management Service window as concrete administration views.

What it assumes

Assumes IIS is installed and requires a certificate converted from PEM and KEY files before import.

What you can do after

Operate/configure IIS through its GUI and import an SSL/TLS certificate in PFX format.

How it connects

Connects IIS administration with SSL/TLS certificates, PFX files, OpenSSL, and hosted websites.
