Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio for Windows
  • ASP.NET and web development workload
  • .NET Core cross-platform development workload
  • X.509 security certificate (for HTTPS support)

Enable IIS

  1. In Windows, navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off (left side of the screen).
  2. Select the Internet Information Services checkbox. Select OK.

The IIS installation may require a system restart.

Configure IIS

IIS must have a website configured with the following:

  • Host name: Typically, the Default Web Site is used with a Host name of localhost. However, any valid IIS website with a unique host name works.
  • Site Binding
    • For apps that require HTTPS, create a binding to port 443 with a certificate. Typically, the IIS Express Development Certificate is used, but any valid certificate works.
    • For apps that use HTTP, confirm the existence of a binding to port 80 or create a binding to port 80 for a new site.
    • Use a single binding for either HTTP or HTTPS. Binding to both HTTP and HTTPS ports simultaneously isn’t supported.
