What account does IIS Express run under?


I need to get my dev machine to read a certificate from the local machine store.

To do this I need to run winhttpcertcfg.exe and specify the account I want to elevate.

What would this account be for IIS express?

(For IIS it would be the IWAM_MachineName).


Solution

  • IIS Express runs as your user account. When installed, you should find an IISExpress folder in your My Documents folder.
