Editing the web application bindings through PowerShell

To change the IIS bindings of a web application through PowerShell, use the Set-SPWebApplication cmdlet. This functionality is supported in all web application zones.

For example, you can run the following PowerShell command to change a SharePoint web application on HTTP port 80 to instead use a host header binding on SSL port 443:

Set-SPWebApplication -Identity http://servername -Zone Default -Port 443 -SecureSocketsLayer -HostHeader sharepoint.contoso.com -Url https://sharepoint.contoso.com
