Syntax¶

Invoke-GeneratePrivateKeyAndCsr [-outDirPath] <String> [-subjectAlternativeNames] <String> [-keySize] <Int>
 [-expireDays] <Int> [-organization] <String> [-organizationUnit] <String> [-locality] <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 "C:\certificates" -commonName "sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io" -subjectAlternativeNames "sfo-vrli01a.rainpole.io, sfo-vrli01b.rainpole.io, sfo-vrli01c.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.
