IIS Application Pool - Specific Identity

[DevOps Unleashed]

Is it possible to use Ansible to create a new IIS Application Pool that runs under a specific "identity"?

Cheers

Yes, but its two steps at the moment and the second step isn't idempotent.

Try something like this:

# create the app pool first

- name: Update/Create DefaultAppPool

  win_iis_webapppool:

    name: 'DefaultAppPool'

    state: started

    attributes: managedRuntimeVersion:v4.0|enable32BitAppOnWin64:true

  register: DefaultAppPool

# then switch to running as a (domain) user

- name: configure listed app pools to run as correct user

  win_command: 'C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config /section:applicationPools "/[name=''{{ item }}''].processModel.identityType:SpecificUser" "/[name=''{{ item }}''].processModel.userName:{{ fdomain }}\{{ user }}" "/[name=''{{ item }}''].processModel.password:{{ credential }}"'

  with_items:

   - DefaultAppPool

   - SomeOtherAppPool
