3.10.1 Abstract Data Model

  • Article

The IIISCertObj interface manages IIS web server certificates. Web server certificates are stored in a server certificate store. They are referenced in the IIS metabase and used by the web server for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication with HTTP clients.

The IIISCertObj interface makes use of the configuration storage (metabase) described in section 3.1.1. Although data elements stored in the metabase are not strictly part of the protocol, correct client interoperation requires that they be set as specified in the message processing descriptions that follow.
