IIS Server

Overview

QCecuring integrates with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to simplify and standardize how TLS certificates are issued, renewed, and bound to sites and application pools. This reduces manual work for Windows teams and prevents service outages caused by expired or misconfigured certificates.

Key capabilities

• Automated import and binding of certificates to IIS sites and HTTPS listeners.
• Support for enterprise PKI and public CAs, managed from a central control plane.
• Policy-driven key lengths, algorithms, and renewal windows.
• Full audit trail of certificate requests and configuration changes on IIS.

Typical use cases

• Line-of-business applications and portals hosted on IIS within corporate networks.
• Organizations with mixed Windows and Linux estates standardizing on one CLM platform.
• Enterprises migrating from manual MMC/GUI-based certificate management to automation.

High-level integration flow

1. Register IIS servers in QCecuring using a secure connector or Windows-native integration.
2. Map IIS sites to SSL profiles and certificate templates managed by QCecuring.
3. The platform enrolls new certificates, imports them into the Windows certificate store, and binds them to the correct IIS sites.
4. Prior to expiry, QCecuring renews and replaces certificates and can perform non-disruptive IIS binding updates.
5. Operations teams monitor health, coverage, and compliance from centralized dashboards and reports.
