How to set the identity in IIS App Pools – SaltStack Support

To set the indentity in a IIS App Pools we will use a combination of salt modules to get the different app pools and a templated power shell script to change/set the identity including the type which is part of the advanced mode.

The power shell script below is jinja templated:

{{poolname}} for the app pool
{{username}} for the username
{{password}} for the password

Import-Module WebAdministration

Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\{{poolname}} -name processModel -value @{userName='{{username}}';password='{{password}}';identitytype=3}

{% set app_pools = salt['win_iis.list_apppools']() %}
{% set password = salt['pillar.get']('iispassword', 'secret') %}
{% for key in app_pools %}

{% if key.startswith ('Default') %}

app_{{key}}:
  cmd.script:
    - name: app_identity.ps1
    - source: salt://iis/app_identity.ps1
    - shell: powershell
    - template: jinja
    - context:
        poolname: {{key}}
        username: salt
        password: {{password}}

{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
