A Free Tool to Configure HTTP.SYS
by thinktecture's Dominick Baier
Version 2.1.0.0
Did you ever struggle to
configure WCF HTTP endpoints correctly when running your
services under least-privilege accounts?
HttpSysCfg is a tool that
simplifies setting/removing/modifying ACLs on URLs for
HttpListener (and thus WCF HTTP-based bindings) which
uses
http.sys. You can specify specific accounts (local
or domain) as well as well-known SIDs like NETWORK
SERVICE or AUTHENTICATED USERS.
In addition the tool
allows to pick certificates from the certificate store
to retrieve the thumbprint for SSL configuration.
Note: in
order for this tool to work properly, you need to have
httpcfg.exe
accessible in the path. httpcfg.exe
can be downloaded e.g. as part of the
Windows XP SP2 Support Tools.
