Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Unfortunately, this improvement has not yet been implemented.

I have increased its priority and hopefully it will be implemented in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Thank you for your understanding.

Good day

Is there a way where I can create a self-signed certificate? I'm making an installer for a web application and I need a https for the bindings. During installation, it always prompts an error regarding SSL certificate.

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have predefined support for creating self-signed certificates (you can not create a self-signed certificate from within Advanced Installer).

However, you can create your own certificate and then use the "Install PFX certificate from the package" option from "IIS" page --> "Bindings/SSL" --> under "SSL Certificate (HTTPS Bindings)" section.

For instance, you can create the self-signed certificate using IIS manager.

Hope this helps.

It would be a nice feature. In the meantime the best you can do is a custom powershell action using New-SelfSignedCertificate cmdlet.

Hello,

Thank you for your followup on this and for sharing your solution with us.

From what I can see, this might be under our development team's radar, as it has the "work_in_progress" label.

I will update this thread as soon as this improvement will be implemented in Advanced Installer.

Hello,

Please note that the option is not available under IIS, it is actually available as a Custom Actions.

With that being said, you need to go to "Custom Actions" page and add the respective custom action.

"Generate and install self signed certificate"
