This includes compatibility with commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/acme\/sectigo-acme-ssl-certificate\">ACME-compliant Certificate Authorities such as Sectigo (CAs)<\/a> that support External Account Binding (EAB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this tutorial, you will learn what steps to take to install an ACME SSL certificate on Windows IIS, automatically bind the SSL certificate, and set up certificate renewals. This works with <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/ssl-types\/single-domain-ssl\">standard single-domain certificates<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/ssl-types\/multi-domain-ssl\">multi-domain (SAN) certificates<\/a>, and enterprise environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access Level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must have Administrator access to the server before starting the installation procedure. This means that the server must be accessed by you, either locally or by Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to install any tools, configure IIS, and make changes at the system level during the ACME validation and SSL certificate installation process, Administrator-level privileges will be required. Without this access level, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/automated-ssl-renewal-saving-time-and-enhancing-security-for-website-owners\/\">automatic SSL Certificate issuance workflow<\/a> will not be able to complete successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your IIS Website is Accessible Over HTTP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your IIS website needs to be publicly accessible over <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/what-is-port-80-common-security-risks-associated-with-port-80-http\/\">HTTP (Port 80)<\/a> because ACME\u2019s HTTP-01 validation is based on it. The Certificate Authority will attempt to retrieve a specific validation file at: <strong>http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/.well-known\/acme-challenge\/<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can verify that you have control of the domain. You can verify that you are controlling the domain by ensuring that the DNS records for the domain point to your server, and that your firewall or hosting platform is configured to allow inbound traffic on port 80.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/what-is-port-8080-http-port-80-vs-8080-vs-443-difference\/\">What is Port 8080? Port 80 vs 8080 vs 443 Difference<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ACME Credentials Given to You by Your CA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are using a commercial Certificate Authority, you will need to get the ACME credentials they give you. This typically includes the ACME Directory URL, an <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/what-is-acme-external-account-binding-eab\/\">External Account Binding<\/a> Key Identifier (EAB), and the EAB HMAC Key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These credentials are what connect your server to your CA account and permit automated orders for certificates. Be sure to copy the values accurately and store them in a secure way for reference during the ACME client configuration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps to Install an ACME SSL Certificate on Windows IIS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Step 1: Download and Set Up Win-ACME (WACS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Win-ACME is a lightweight, Windows-native ACME client designed specifically for IIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the official Win-ACME site:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.win-acme.com\/\"><strong> https:\/\/www.win-acme.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the latest <strong>stable ZIP release<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extract it to a permanent location, for example:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>C:\\Program Files\\Win-ACME\\<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test the installation by running:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>C:\\Program Files\\Win-ACME\\wacs.exe<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the command-line interface launches, you&#8217;re ready to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Step 2: Issue and Install the ACME SSL Certificate on IIS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will now request, generate, and install an SSL certificate using Win-ACME\u2019s command-line interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Below is the ideal command template:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&amp; \"C:\\Program Files\\Win-ACME\\wacs.exe\" `\n\n--source iis `\n\n--host \"yourdomain.com,www.yourdomain.com\" `\n\n--store certificatestore `\n\n--installation iis `\n\n--baseuri \"https:\/\/your.acme-server.com\/v2\/DV\" `\n\n--eab-key-identifier \"YOUR_EAB_KID\" `\n\n--eab-key \"YOUR_EAB_HMAC_KEY\" `\n\n--accepttos<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Flag<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;source iis<\/td><td>Scans IIS to automate HTTP validation.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;host<\/td><td>One or multiple comma-separated domains\/SANs.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;store certificatestore<\/td><td>Saves certificate into Windows Certificate Store.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;installation iis<\/td><td>Automatically binds SSL certificate to IIS.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;baseuri<\/td><td>ACME directory URL from your CA.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;eab-key-identifier<\/td><td>EAB KID for CA authentication.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;eab-key<\/td><td>EAB secret HMAC key.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8211;accepttos<\/td><td>Accepts CA terms of service automatically.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Step 3: Confirm HTTPS Installation in IIS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Once Win-ACME completes the process, the certificate should:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be stored in the Windows Certificate Store<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be bound automatically to the correct IIS site on <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/port-443-https\/\">port 443<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Verify:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open Server Manager<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Tools \u2192 IIS Manager<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to your website: <strong>Sites \u2192 {Your Website} \u2192 Bindings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the <strong>HTTPS (443) binding<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm that the newly installed certificate is applied<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once confirmed, visit your site in the browser: https:\/\/yourdomain.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should now see a valid, <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/ssl-types\">trusted SSL certificate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Step 4: Verify Automatic Renewal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Win-ACME automatically creates a scheduled renewal task in Windows Task Scheduler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To list all configured ACME renewals, run:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><em>&amp; \"C:\\Program Files\\Win-ACME\\wacs.exe\" --list --baseuri \"https:\/\/your.acme-server.com\/v2\/DV\"<\/em><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re ready to secure your IIS server with a trusted, budget-friendly SSL certificate, <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/\">CheapSSLWEB<\/a> is the smartest place to start.
