Invoke-GeneratePKCS12¶

Synopsis¶

Generate a PKCS12 (.pfx) file using OpenSSL.

Syntax¶

Invoke-GeneratePKCS12 [-certificatePath] <String> [-privateKeyFile] <String> [-certificateFile] <String> [-certificatePassword] <String> [[-caChainFile] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Invoke-GeneratePKCS12 cmdlet generates a PKCS12 (.pfx) file using OpenSSL with the supplied Private Key (.key), Signed Certificate (.crt) files.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Invoke-GeneratePKCS12 -certificatePath ".\certificates\" -privateKeyFile "sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io.key" -certificateFile "sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io.crt" -certificatePassword VMw@re1! -caChainFile "rpl-ad01.rainpole.io-rootCA.pem"

This example will generate a PFX file for sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io including the Root Certificate Authority.

Example 2¶

Invoke-GeneratePKCS12 -certificatePath ".\certificates\" -privateKeyFile "sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io.key" -certificateFile "sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io.crt" -certificatePassword VMw@re1!

This example will generate a PFX file for sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io wihtou the Root Certificate Authority.
