Configure IIS 6 website SSL port programmatically?

I am trying to configure the website SSL port with the certificate for a website within IIS 6.0 programmatically.

IIS 7.0 provides the API, ServerManager, to do so, but I am not sure if there is something similar for IIS 6.0 or command line utilities.

Thanks in advance!

If you mean just setting the port NUMBER programmatically, you can use the metabase command line tool (by default in C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts):

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/securebindings ":nnn:"

where nnn is the port number (e.g., ":443:"). (If you have more than one site on the server, you will need to substitute w3svc/x/securebindings, where x is the web site ID.)

If you actually need to install the CERTIFICATE programmatically, from what I gather there's a script in the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit to do it (IISCertDeploy.vbs) but I've not tried it.
