Let's Encrypt is een initiatief is om zoveel mogelijk sites https-ondersteuning te geven door gratis ssl-certificaten te verstrekken en de implementatie makkelijker te maken. De meeste tools hiervoor zijn echter alleen beschikbaar vanaf de commandline. Certify SSL Manager biedt een grafische interface voor het aanvragen en beheren van deze certificaten op Windows Servers met IIS. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 4.0.12 uitgebracht en hierin zijn de volgende verbeteringen aangebracht:
Changes in version 4.0.12:Notes regarding binding behaviour changes:
- Important: Changed behaviour of Static IP and unassigned hostname binding deployment
- Fix replacing of previous certificate based on thumbprint matching
- Fix to ignore stale option selections if Auto deploy/auto-binding selected
- Various fixes and updates
- Previously the app could try to enable SNI for a Static IP binding (based on the user's settings) this is no longer attempted.
- Additionally if you had specified settings for the default IP of new bindings but switched back to Auto, the specific binding IP/port etc may still have been used for new bindings, this is no longer the behaviour.
- If you have an existing http binding with a static IP this will be used if no hostname has been specified (all static IP SSL bindings carry a risk of binding conflicts, using SNI and specific hostnames is recommended).
- If you require administrative control of https bindings you should select an option other than Auto under Deployment and Binding Add/Update should be set to Update only.
