Synopsis¶
Generate the private key and certificate signing request (CSR) files using OpenSSL with a common name and additional parameters as necessary.
Syntax¶
Invoke-GeneratePrivateKeyAndCsr [-outDirPath] <String> [-subjectAlternativeNames] <String> [-keySize] <Int> [-expireDays] <Int> [-organization] <String> [-organizationUnit] <String> [-locality] <String> [-state] <String> [-country] <String>
Description¶
The Invoke-GeneratePrivateKeyAndCsr cmdlet generates the private key and certificate signing request (CSR) files using OpenSSL with a common name and additional parameters as necessary.
Examples¶
Example 1¶
Invoke-GeneratePrivateKeyAndCsr -outDirPath ".\certificates" -commonName "sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io" -subjectAlternativeNames "sfo-vrli01a.sfo.rainpole.io, sfo-vrli01b.sfo.rainpole.io, sfo-vrli01c.sfo.rainpole.io" -keySize 4096 -expireDays 720 -organization "rainpole" -organizationUnit "IT" -locality "San Francisco" -state "California" -country "US"
This example will generate a private key and CSR pair for VMware Aria Operations for Logs where the integrated load balancer has a common name of sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io and includes SANs for each cluster node's fully qualified domain name value.
