I've been trying to find out how to do this using a vbscript, but have so far been unsuccessful.

I'm using the IIsWebVirtualDir object and set lots of properties to configure the web site I'm installing, but there are two properties I need to set. The following descibes how to do it manually. If someone can tell me how to do it via vbscript, I would really appreciate it:

Setting "Require Secure Channel (SSL)":

1. In the Internet Services Manager, expand "Default Website", right-click on the desired folder, then pick Properties.

2. Click on the Directory Security tab.

3. Under "Secure Communications", click Edit.

4. check "Require secure channel (SSL)"

Setting up "Client Certificates":

1. In the same dialog as the above checkbox, click "Ignore client certificates" in the Client Certificates section.

You probably want to look at the AccessSSLFlags property of the IISWebVirtualDir object.  This property contains the values for five other flags relating to SSL.  These should be what you are after.

Please note, I haven't actually tried it myself, so this is only theory.
