SSL Certificate add failed, Error: 183 Cannot create a file when that file already exists - How to bound certificate to ipport?

I'm trying to execute this command in CMD:

netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=‎89857a42309423c239f42392384a appid={214124cd-d05b-4309-9af9-13123454a52b}

and got error message:

SSL Certificate add failed, Error: 183 Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

How to add certificate to ipport if the certificate has already been added?

We managed to resolve this issue by removing it from registers. The netsh commands provided never worked but manually deleting the old certificate bindings from registers from this location worked:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\SslBindingInfo

Then just restart the machine and netsh certificate listing will show the list without deleted certificates.

It means that the port has already bounded a certificate. If we want to bound new certificate we need to delete the old one and bound new one.

  1. Check if port has bounded a cert:

    netsh http show sslcert > c:\result.txt

  2. Open the result.txt and search for the port (in my case 443)

  3. Delete the old certificate: netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443

  4. Bound new certificate

    netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=‎89857a42309423c239f42392384a appid={214124cd-d05b-4309-9af9-13123454a52b}
