dotnet security : Assign Certificate to IIS

Is there a way to attach a certificate to a website in IIS?
I will be doing this during an install so using IIS and clicking buttons is
not an option.

The certificate is already installed in the store and know all the
particulars about it. During installation, I just need to hook the
certificate up to IIS.

Executables or APIs are fine, just nothing from 3rd parties.

Thanks,

There are a variety of APIs available for programming the IIS metabase,
including ADSI (with the IIS provider), WMI (for IIS6 only) and ABO, which
is a lower level API used by the other two.

You might want to ask this in one of the IIS newsgroups.

There are some methods, however you must be prepared that something won't
work, something will work not as described etc..
We did this for one of our clients already. We can share the code privately,
if you are interested (contact support@eldos.com).
