# IIS

**IIS** (Internet Information Services) is an extensible, flexible, secure, and manageable web server created by Microsoft for use with the Windows NT family.

## Use within Universität Greifswald
Within the Universität Greifswald infrastructure, IIS is used for hosting web services and as a tool to generate certificate requests for [[serverzertifikate]] on Windows-based systems. It is further utilized as a tool for managing the lifecycle of server certificates.

## Certificate Management Workflow
For administrators using [[windows-server-2022]], IIS provides a built-in mechanism to handle [[serverzertifikate]]:

1.  **Generation**: The "Server Certificates" module allows users to create a [[certificate-signing-request]] (CSR).
2.  **Export**: The CSR is exported as a text file for submission to the [[dfn-pki-zertifikate]] portal.
3.  **Import**: Once the certificate is issued, the "Complete Certificate Request" feature is used to bind the certificate to the server.
