The password is printed in chef debug mode. This password needs to remain secure and out of sight regardless of log level.

I want to change the IIS Application Pool that an Application uses. I changed the application_pool attribute of my iis_app resource but when I run the recipe a FATAL error occurs:

FATAL: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

There's an issue with the windows_feature_dism provider (see chef-boneyard/windows#196) when installing NetFx3 remotely. Powershell works, dism does not. NetFx3 is required for the mod_aspnet recipe. However, the recipe is written to only support dism, which doesn't work with the dependency NetFx3.

I can no longer set gMSA accounts using iis_pool resource. These accounts do not have passwords, and it seems the pool provider is checking to ensure the pool_password is not an empty string. Setting pool_password to nil also does not work.

Validated that the 11.x Chef clients work fine, and the issue is present only in 12+ environments.

Within the cookbook attribute file: iis/attributes/default.rb

This is currently defined:
default['iis']['home'] = "#{ENV['WINDIR']}\\System32\\inetsrv"
default['iis']['conf_dir'] = "#{iis['home']}\\config"
default['iis']['pubroot'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub"
default['iis']['docroot'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\wwwroot"
default['iis']['log_dir'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\logs\\LogFiles"
default['iis']['cache_dir'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\temp"

As of chef 12 only the first derived attribute is properly calculated. Printing out the values within a run is enough to see the issue:
DEBUG: default['iis']['home'] = C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
DEBUG: default['iis']['conf_dir'] = C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config
DEBUG: default['iis']['pubroot'] = C:\inetpub
DEBUG: default['iis']['docroot'] = \wwwroot
DEBUG: default['iis']['log_dir'] = \logs\LogFiles
DEBUG: default['iis']['cache_dir'] = \temp

You can see that only the first attribute is properly calculated be reversing the order of declaration and running again:
default['iis']['pubroot'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub"
default['iis']['docroot'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\wwwroot"
default['iis']['log_dir'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\logs\\LogFiles"
default['iis']['cache_dir'] = "#{iis['pubroot']}\\temp"
default['iis']['home'] = "#{ENV['WINDIR']}\\System32\\inetsrv"
default['iis']['conf_dir'] = "#{iis['home']}\\config"

In this scenario only iis[home] will be empty.

If you fully declare the attributes as below it works in other recipes:
default['iis']['home'] = "#{ENV['WINDIR']}\\System32\\inetsrv"
default['iis']['conf_dir'] = "#{ENV['WINDIR']}\\System32\\inetsrv\\config"
default['iis']['pubroot'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub"
default['iis']['docroot'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub\\wwwroot"
default['iis']['log_dir'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub\\logs\\LogFiles"
default['iis']['cache_dir'] = "#{ENV['SYSTEMDRIVE']}\\inetpub\\temp

EDIT:
I've also submitted: chef-boneyard/chef-client#258

I believe this issue has been resolved in the master version of this cookbook, but supermarket is still locked to version 2.1.6.

I guess this not so much an issue but more a question of when you will release version 3.0.x of this cookbook to supermarket so that these messages will stop appearing.
Bear in mind anyone using the php cookbook will see these messages due to a dependency back to this cookbook.

There is an error with this cookbook on Linux (tested on Amazon Linux 2014.9 and CentOS 7.0) when running under Chef client 12.1+. Attempting to converge with a run list of "recipe[chef-client]" (which transitively depends on "iis") fails with the following error. This error does not occur when using the latest Chef 11 client to converge. Hiding the include Windows::Helper statement under an if RUBY_PLATFORM resolves the error. I wonder if there is some new behavior in Chef 12 that prevents a Windows library from loading on Linux?

Oops sorry, I did this backwards because admittedly I didn't read the contribution guidelines until after creating the pull request.

I noticed host_header changes would only take effect on add, not on config.

This seems to be because is_new_port_host_provided is checking to see if the binding combo is already included, which it never will be. This prevents the binding being added on line 79. This commit just flips the logic.

It also fixes an edge-case where a config change with a host-header of localhost-foo -> localhost wouldn't get applied (since technically http/*:80:localhost is included in http/*:80:localhost-foo).

when running iis_app action :config and there isn't anything to happen it throws the following exception:

================================================================================
Error executing action `config` on resource 'iis_app[Testfu Site]'
================================================================================


TypeError
---------
can't dup NilClass

Specifying a log_directory attribute is ignored when adding a new site using the [:add, :start] options for the iis_site provider.
The same attribute gets set when using the [:config] action for the iis_site provider.

As a workaround I have created the site and ran a [:config] right after that, just setting the custom log_directory.

Can this be fixed in the add part of the iis_site provider please?

The readme has the following sentence which appears to be incomplete.

that the application pool should be automatically started when it is created or when IIS

When IIS does what?

I was having an issue using the pool provider to create an application pool on Windows 2008 R2.

I tracked it down to this line:

configure_application_pool(is_new_set_profile_environment, "processModel.setProfileEnvironment:#{@new_resource.set_profile_environment}")

It turns out that processModel.setProfileEnvironment is not an available setting for my version of Windows/IIS.

Commenting out this line fixed my problems. If its helpful, here are the available settings as reported by appcmd.exe:

Let me know if there is anything else that might be helpful to know.

Could someone add

    @new_resource.updated_by_last_action(true)

after the call to shell_out!(cmd) in the add action of app.rb

See https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/iis/blob/master/providers/pool.rb#L42

The Attributes in this section of the iis_pool resource are not applied when adding a new app pool, unless you also specify the :config action. I'd expect those attributed to be applied without having to specify the config option.

The following gist illustrates the issue with an example: https://gist.github.com/mdw233/b38016059753dae54941

Is this intended, or an oversight? If it's intended - I can add a PR to make it more clear in the docs.

The xpath queries used to determine the current values do NOT work against the output from appcmd.exe.

For example; xpath = 'APP/application/virtualDirectory/@physicalPath'
But the output from appcmd.exe is wrapped in a root tag of

The xpath query never finds a match and assumes the resource is configured as expected.

Prefixing the xpath with '//' should fix the problem. But shouldn't it also throw if it cannot find the resource we are trying to apply the config to?

I'm trying to setup a site that has 2 80 and 443 bindings, for a total of 4.

.beta.a.com
www.beta.a.com

This way we can have it load balanced and singularly accessed.
I keep getting syntax errors in the iis_site resource doing this. Either I'm missing something or it would be nice to have an iis_binding resource. I've created one but wonder if this is just me brute forcing it to work, while not understanding how to do multiple bindings in the site properly.

Anyone want this?

Issue with recent patch [email protected]

I was able to add a new IIS Application to the existing site "Default Web Site" but I had to enter the name of the site as the app_name parameter.

Hi,

I don't know what the full process is but the fixes in the master build are important enough that I'd be keen to see the cookbook version bumped to 4.1.1 and shipped to the supermarket. Since it fixes at least one bug that will get hit by users pretty regularly it would be good to stop others pulling 4.1 down.

Example:

iis_pool "hello_world" do
    pool_name "hello_world"
    runtime_version runtime_version
    pipeline_mode pipeline_mode
    thirty_two_bit thirty_two_bit_mode
    private_mem private_memory
    worker_idle_timeout '00:00:00'
    recycle_after_time '00:00:00'
    recycle_at_time '00:00:00'
    action [:add, :config, :start]
    retries 3
end

because :config calls functions every single time without validating change we end up recycling the app_pool everytime this runs (30 minutes with chef-client).

I have fixed this on my fork https://github.com/EasyAsABC123/iis using:

cmd_current_values = "#{appcmd} list apppool "#{@new_resource.pool_name}" /config:* /xml"

I'll put in a pull request once my vdir changes are accepted.

appcmd option for managepiplineMode is being passed incorrect variable (/[name='TestAppPool'].managedPipelineMode:Classic.capitalize")

Chef-client version = 11.12.4
iis cookbook version = 3.0.12

Chef run using iis_pool resource crash with the error "NameError: No resource, method, or local variable named returns' forChef::Provider::IisPool"

Adding a virtual directory now works for me - for example this resource works without issue:

iis_vdir 'Testfu Site/' do
action :add
path '/Content'
physical_path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testfu\Content"
end

However when i try to add a virtual directory beneath an application as follows()where the application is simply called '1':

iis_vdir 'Testfu Site/1/' do
action :add
path '/Content'
physical_path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testfu\Content"
end

it produces an appcmd command that has an additional trailing slash on the app.name:
Ran C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe add vdir /app.name:"Testfu Site/1/" /path:"/Content" /physicalPath:"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testfu\Content" /logonMethod:C
learText /allowSubDirConfig:true returned 50

Naturally then i tried to remove the trailing slash (in iis_vdir). So my new resource is

iis_vdir 'Testfu Site/1' do
action :add
path '/Content'
physical_path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testfu\Content"
end

It results in this error:

[2015-01-06T11:46:35+00:00] FATAL: NoMethodError: iis_vdir[Testfu Site/1](testing-new-iis-cookbook::default line 87) had an error: NoMethodError:
hod `application_name=' for Chef::Resource::IisVdir

Tried this also but no dice:

iis_vdir 'Testfu Site/1/' do
action :add
path 'Content'
physical_path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testfu\Content"
end

I also tried explicitly setting the application_name with (application_name "Testfu Site/1/") and without (application_name "Testfu Site/1") while keeping the iis_vdir with its trailing slash(iis_vdir("Testfu Site/1/"))

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong - hopefully I'm not but would be great if someone could take a look and let me know what you think.

IIS cookbook 4.1 creates the pool but does not set the pool to "Classic" mode. The :config action is reporting in the chef debug logs that there is nothing to change. Multiple runs return the same result for :config.

• IIS 8.5
• Chef Client 12.0.1
• Attributes

default['test_iis']['app_pool'] = 'TestAppPool'
default['test_iis']['app_pool_dotnetversion'] = "2.0"
default['test_iis']['pipelinemode'] = :Classic
default['test_iis']['thirty_two_bit'] = true

• Recipe

iis_pool "#{node[''test_iis']['app_pool']}" do
  action [:add,:config]
  pipeline_mode node['test_iis']['pipelinemode']
  thirty_two_bit node[''test_iis']['thirty_two_bit']
  runtime_version node[''test_iis']['app_pool_dotnetversion']
end

Here's my pool resource in my recipe:

iis_pool "DB Necromancer" do
  runtime_version "4.5"
  pipeline_mode :Integrated
  action [:add, :start]
end

I was able to start the pool by running appcmd from a Windows Command Prompt window:

appcmd start apppool "DB Necromancer"

When using the bindings attribute of the iis_site resource, subsequent :config actions reset the bindings to http/*:80:

iis_site "foo" do
  bindings        "http/*:80:foo.domain.tld,http/*:80:bar.domain.tld"
  path             "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\foobar"
  application_pool "foobar"
  action [:add, :config, :start]
end

In the iis_site provider, the config action should ignore 'protocol', 'port', and 'host_header' if 'bindings' is specified. This is similar to, but different from #135.

iis_site throws an error "NoMethodError: undefined method `bindings=' for Chef::Resource::IisSite"

I'd love someone else to verify this:

iis_config "-section:system.webServer/handlers /[name=\'ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0\'].verb:\"GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE\"  /commit:apphost" do
    action :config
end

getting this error

==> default: Ran 
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/handlers /[name='ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0'].verb:"GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE"  /commit:apphost returned 4312

Running the command it says it ran works......

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/handlers /[name='ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0'].verb:"GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE"  /commit:apphost

I'll need to deeper dive into this to figure out what went wrong, stay tuned.

There seems to be a bug in appcmd.exe that causes the output to fail when a site has a large number of bindings.

Some discussion of this appcmd bug here:
http://serverfault.com/questions/313339/appcmd-bugged-with-more-than-70ish-bindings

To avoid this problem the cookbook should replace the appcmd "list site" command with an alternate method to obtain the same data.

I would expect the site to have the attributes I specify, even if the site existed already

I'm pretty new to chef, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or a configuration problem.

The readme.md doesn't specify if this cookbook can set the default document for an application.

Can it alter the default document? If so, I'd like to figure out how, and add it to the readme.

The IIS_config resource is not idempotent. It will try to apply the same config twice, even if that config is already true. This could result in non-zero output on subsequent runs in the event that a config has already been applied, even though there is nothing wrong with the system state.

Text copied from:
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/COOK-4359

Example that will fail when client is ran >1 time:
iis_config "/section:httpProtocol /-customHeaders.[name='X-Powered-By']" do
action :config
end

Current implementation of iis_config requires a guard to achieve idempotence.

In my cookbook I'm trying to unlock the IIS windowsAuthentication and anonymousAuthentication sections at the global level but somehow it is not working correctly. I'm running the cookbook against a Win2012R2 server and am installing IIS with the IIS cookbook (version 4.1.0):

include_recipe 'iis'

# Install the ASP.NET 4.5 runtime components
include_recipe 'iis::mod_aspnet45'

# Install the Windows authentication support
include_recipe 'iis::mod_auth_windows'

# install the HTTP logging, logging tools and custom logging
include_recipe 'iis::mod_logging'

# remove the default website
include_recipe 'iis::remove_default_site'

All of that is working successfully.

The code in my cookbook to unlock the authentication sections is:

iis_section 'system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication' do
  action :unlock
  section 'system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication'
end

iis_section 'system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication' do
  action :unlock
  section 'system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication'
end

The cookbook runs to completion but the sections are just not unlocked.

I also have unlock sections for

iis_section 'system.webServer/handlers' do
  section 'system.webServer/handlers'
  action :unlock
end

iis_section 'system.webServer/modules' do
  section 'system.webServer/modules'
  action :unlock
end

These seem to be working correctly but the authentication section is not working. If I unlock the sections manually then it works. Like this:

powershell_script 'unlock IIS authentication sections' do
  code <<-POWERSHELL
    $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

    $appCmd = 'c:\\windows\\system32\\inetsrv\\appcmd.exe'

    & $appCmd unlock config -section:"system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication" -commit:apphost
    & $appCmd unlock config -section:"system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication" -commit:apphost
  POWERSHELL
end

From looking at the iis_section unlock code I think the -commit:apphost bit is missing (see http://serverfault.com/a/360556/239001)?

357 273 277 shouldn't be there

apparently multiple files have this now, due to encoding them in Notepad++ as UTF-8

It would be awesome to get some additional functionality around the appcmd.exe utility in this cookbook. For example, appcmd.exe unlock config etc.

I recognize this is a community cookbook, but I don't think I have the expertise to code it, hence the ticket.

Could support for setting the Require SSL setting be added:

Here is my resource:

iis_vdir "teste env1 f/" do
path '/fw7/1/'
physical_path "C:\Websites\teste\env1\f\fw7\repointed"
action :config
end

It returns a message as to say it completed successfully but it did not change the physical path of the application ("teste env1 f/fw7/1").

I would expect that it would produce this appcmd (which when i run manually does change the physical path)
appcmd.exe set vdir "teste env1 f/fw7/1/" -physicalPath:C:\Websites\teste\env1\f\fw7\repointed /logonMethod:ClearText

Before i got this 'working' i had omitted a trailing slash in the path. This error highlighted the fact that the physicalPath appears to be discarded as the code builds up the appcmd command.

There was some discussion in this issue: #95

Version info:

1. chef-server 12.0.1
2. client: chef-windows-11.14.2-1.windows.msi
3. Node is 2008R2.
4. I'm using the IIS 3.0.4 hotfix branch...https://github.com/EasyAsABC123/iis/tree/hotfix_helper-class

Here is what I'm trying:

 iis_site "#{cookbook_name}" do
    bindings "http/*:80:www.domain.com","https/*:443:"
    action [:config,:restart]
 end

Here's what I get:

Other pieces of my recipe: (these come before the bindings section)

 iis_pool "#{cookbook_name}" do
    action :recycle
 end

 iis_site "#{cookbook_name}" do
    path "c:\\web\\data\\#{cookbook_name}"
    site_name "#{cookbook_name}"
    application_pool "#{cookbook_name}"
    action [:add,:start]
 end

Oh yeah - and as mentioned in that other issue, would be great to see some examples for the other options like bindings.

So i would like to use the iis_app resource to change the physical path on disk that the IIS application points to.
If this functionality is there an example of how to do this would be great.
If not could the functionality be added?

Here is how i imagine it would look - with a config action perhaps:

iis_app "contoso" do
path "/1"
application_pool "myAppPool_v1_1"
physical_path "C:\contoso\1\repointed"
action :config
end

when i use the add variant:

iis_app "contoso" do
path "/1"
application_pool "myAppPool_v1_1"
physical_path "C:\contoso\1\repointed"
action :add
end

I get this error:

---- Begin output of C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe add app /site.name:"contoso" /path:"/1" /applicationPool:"myAppPool_v1_1" /physicalPath:"C:\contoso\1\repointed" ----
