Re: IIS/ADSI/Win32-OLE

I've written code to do this before, but don't have access to it at the moment. So I'll do my best with what I can remember.

Are any errors produced when you do:

$MyIPSec->{IPGrant} = \@IPList;
$secobj->SetInfo();
[download]

I did a lot of work on IIS last year with ADSI and perl. The following websites were helpful: IISFAQ.com, cwashington.netreach.net and MSDN. If you can comprehend VBScript they will help. Also, download MetaEdit from MS which lets you browse the IIS metabase - gives you a quick access to what properties are where and what they are currently set to..

NOTE: Also, whatever you do keep backups of your metabase - I've corrupted quite a few during the course of my work (of course - it was only a test machine)

updated: changed [ $newip ] to \@IPList to be more consistent with original code

I didn't get any errors, but the array didn't change. I changed things around just to see if I could change anything. I can create redirects for directories off of the wwwroot using a Create("IISWebDirectory") type call, but I can't change any of the IPSecurity settings. The following code outputs: `1: 1 2: 0 3: 1` [download] when ran: use strict; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::OLE::Enum; use Carp; eval { my $newip = "13.11.11.11,255.255.255.255"; my $server = "ogre"; Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 3); my $secobj = Win32::OLE->GetObject("IIS://$server/W3svc/1/Root") +or croak "Couldn't get object: $!\n"; my $MyIPSec = $secobj->{IPSecurity}; print "1: $MyIPSec->{GrantByDefault}\n"; $MyIPSec->{GrantByDefault} = 0; print "2: $MyIPSec->{GrantByDefault}\n"; $secobj->{IPSecurity}->{GrantByDefault} = 0; $secobj->SetInfo(); print "3: $secobj->{IPSecurity}->{GrantByDefault}\n"; }; print Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n" if (Win32::OLE->LastError()); [download] Thanks, JJ J.

According to MSDN this should work... `use strict; use Win32::OLE; my $server = "ogre"; my $secobj = Win32::OLE->GetObject("IIS://$server/W3svc/1/Root") or die "Couldn't get object:$!\n"; my $MyIPSec = $secobj->{IPSecurity}; $MyIPSec->{GrantByDefault} = 0; $secobj->{IPSecurity} = $MyIPSec; $secobj->SetInfo();` [download] Simon Flack ($code or die) `$,=reverse'"ro_';s,$,\$,;s,$,lc ref sub{},e;$, =~y'_"' ';eval"die";print $_,lc substr$@,0,3;`	[reply] [d/l]

No joy. No errors, either. Very hard to debug an application when there are never errors printed... Thanks for your help. I'll continue to look at this. I can't seem to set any part of the IPSecurity key. I can set redirects, add virtual directories, and most other things, but I can't set this key. J. J.
