IIS WebAdministration - set physical path credentials locked

PowerShell Help
1

I am getting an error when I try to clear or set the IIS physical path credentials in Powershell 3 using the WebAdministration module. I want to be able to make the changes at the application level so I don’t interfere with other applications or sites on the server. Specifying a PSPath and location doesn’t seem to do anything.

I assume I have to unlock the section, but the closest section I can find is Sites, and that is too coarse. I would appreciate the assistance if anybody knows exactly what to do in Powershell to manage the IIS physical path credentials (and all application-related settings) at the application level? I was looking for a command to create a location tag for my application, and then be able to specify that location tag for all my subsequent setting changes - but no joy.

Cheers

Hi Scott,

I haven’t found a way to apply the physical path credentials using the Set-WebConfiguration cmdlets but below works for me.

Import-Module WebAdministration

$SitePath = 'IIS:\Sites\Test'

Set-ItemProperty -Path $SitePath -Name userName -Value 'DOMAIN\TestUser'
Set-ItemProperty -Path $SitePath -Name password -Value 'Pa55word'

Best,
Daniel

I take back that I haven’t found a way to use Set-WebConfiguration :slight_smile:

Set-WebConfiguration -Filter "/system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name='Test']/application[@path='/']/virtualDirectory[@path='/']" -Value @{userName='DOMAIN\TestUser'; password='Pa55word'}

Please let me know if above works for you.

Thanks
Daniel
