How to edit ACL?

I don't know about you, but I hate ACLs...

For Windows versions prior to Vista and according to this page I've got to do something like this in order to edit an ACL:

httpcfg set urlacl /u {http://URL:Port/ | https://URL:Port/} /aACL

where ACL should a SDDL string. Well, that's the part I HATE. I don't want to be a SDDL expert and I don't even want to understand them! Period!

It seems I'm not the only one who thinks like that. In his post, Paul gives two options how to edit an ACL in a more easier form:

Read Keith Brown's post how to edit the ACL programmatically; (We could use this option in order to edit the ACL when installing the service)
Use a little GUI application, called HttpNamespaceManager, that Paul developed. (I've already used it and it works smoothly)

Fortunately, the way how they are edited changed in Vista\Win2k8 OS:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user

Hope this helps someone
