Introduction to IIS Centralized Certificate Store on Windows Server 2019 The IIS Centralized Certificate Store (CCS) allows you to store SSL/TLS certificates on a central UNC file share and have all IIS servers in a web farm read certificates directly from that share. Without CCS, you must manually install and renew certificates on every individual […]
Introduction to IIS Web Farm on Windows Server 2019 An IIS Web Farm is a group of two or more IIS servers that together serve the same web application, providing horizontal scalability and high availability. As traffic increases beyond what a single server can handle, a web farm distributes load across multiple servers. When a […]
Introduction to IIS HTTP/2 on Windows Server 2019 HTTP/2 is the second major version of the HTTP protocol, standardised in RFC 7540. It introduces multiplexing (multiple concurrent requests over a single TCP connection), header compression (HPACK), server push, and binary framing — all of which significantly reduce latency and page load times compared to HTTP/1.1, […]
Introduction to IIS WebSockets on Windows Server 2019 WebSockets provide a full-duplex, persistent communication channel over a single TCP connection between a client and server. Unlike standard HTTP request/response, WebSockets allow the server to push data to clients without the client polling. This is used in real-time applications including chat systems, collaborative tools, live dashboards, […]
Introduction to IIS Reverse Proxy on Windows Server 2019 A reverse proxy sits in front of backend servers and forwards incoming client requests to those servers, returning the responses to clients as if the proxy itself generated them. On Windows Server 2019, IIS combined with the Application Request Routing (ARR) module and URL Rewrite provides […]
Introduction to IIS URL Rewrite on Windows Server 2019 The IIS URL Rewrite module is a powerful extension for IIS 10 on Windows Server 2019 that allows server-side manipulation of incoming request URLs before they are processed. URL Rewrite is used for canonicalising URLs (removing or adding trailing slashes, enforcing lowercase), redirecting HTTP to HTTPS, […]
Introduction to IIS Authentication on Windows Server 2019 IIS 10 on Windows Server 2019 supports multiple authentication mechanisms, each suitable for different scenarios. Anonymous Authentication allows unauthenticated access (public websites). Windows Authentication uses Kerberos or NTLM to authenticate domain users transparently (intranet applications). Basic Authentication sends credentials in Base64 (requires HTTPS). Digest Authentication uses MD5 […]
Introduction to IIS SSL/TLS Configuration on Windows Server 2019 Internet Information Services (IIS) 10 on Windows Server 2019 supports TLS 1.0 through TLS 1.3, with TLS 1.3 enabled by default when running on Windows Server 2019 version 1903 or later. Configuring SSL/TLS correctly on IIS means obtaining and binding a valid certificate, disabling outdated protocol […]
Introduction to DHCP with DNS Dynamic Update on Windows Server 2019 DNS Dynamic Update (DDNS) allows the DHCP server to automatically register and deregister DNS records on behalf of DHCP clients whenever they obtain, renew, or release IP addresses. Without DDNS, administrators must manually maintain DNS A records and PTR records every time a machine […]
Introduction to DNS over HTTPS on Windows Server 2019 DNS over HTTPS (DoH) encrypts DNS queries inside standard HTTPS traffic on port 443. Traditional DNS queries travel in plaintext over UDP or TCP port 53, exposing every hostname lookup to anyone monitoring the network — ISPs, attackers on public Wi-Fi, or enterprise security appliances. DoH […]
