I have self-hosted WCF application that needs to listen on a URL on port 80. In order to do this, I need to add an entry to the HTTP.sys url list for a given user.

I can do this with netsh http add urlacl or calling a Win32 API directly (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6851161/net-or-win32-equivalent-of-netsh-http-add-urlacl-command). Neither of these are really desirable, as both require administrative rights and are specific to a particular user.

Is there an equivalent group policy setting to configure HTTP or some other way to centrally configure this?

In manual (netsh http add urlacl gives you more info) user parameter is said to be the user or user-group name.

  • Yes, it can be a user or group, but it is specific to a given machine and must be executed on that machine. The key point I am looking for is central configuration (i.e., the admin can configure this without actually logging on to the given machine). – Travis May 24 '12 at 18:38
  • The admin can create a startup script with the command. As usual in Group Policy, computers could be filtered by their organizaitonal unit or by the group they belong to. – Alexander Petrovskiy Feb 24 '16 at 17:34
