SYNTAX
New-PnPAzureCertificate [-CommonName <String>] [-Country <String>] [-State <String>]
[-Locality <String>] [-Organization <String>] [-OrganizationUnit <String>] [-OutPfx <String>]
[-OutCert <String>] [-ValidYears <Int32>] [-CertificatePassword <SecureString>] [-Store <StoreLocation>]
DESCRIPTION
Allows to create a self-signed certificate and manifest settings to be used with CSOM via an app-only ADAL application.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
New-PnPAzureCertificate -OutPfx pnp.pfx -OutCert pnp.cer
This will generate a default self-signed certificate named "pnp.contoso.com" valid for 10 years and output a pfx and cer file to disk. The private key file (pfx) will not be password protected.
EXAMPLE 2
New-PnPAzureCertificate -CommonName "My Certificate" -ValidYears 30
This will output a certificate named "My Certificate" which expires in 30 years from now to the screen. It will not write the certificate files to disk.
EXAMPLE 3
New-PnPAzureCertificate -OutPfx pnp.pfx -OutCert pnp.cer -CertificatePassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -String "pass@word1" -AsPlainText -Force)
This will generate a default self-signed certificate named "pnp.contoso.com" valid for 10 years and output a pfx and cer file to disk. The pfx file will have the password pass@word1 set on it.
