Configure Self hosted WebApi in Windows Service to Use SSL

We have recently deployed microservices to take the place of an all encompassing web app. One of these Microservices actually responds to HTTP requests. Of coure we need this to be secure. But how do you bind an SSL Cert to a Windows service?

Thanks to this article we were able to get it working.

Summary

Use the following command to register the SSL with port.

 
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8099 appid={214124cd-d05b-4309-9af9-9caa44b2b74a} certhash=‎c262318f5f1356f7f04961146efd1be743c0e9c0

PS: The appId is application identifier to refer to http and should remain same. Also, the ipport=0.0.0.0:8099 mean, listen on all IPs on 8099 port number.

The same can be verified using following command:

 
netsh http show sslcert

The same can also be deleted using following command.

 
netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8099

Save this and restart the windows service
