Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate¶

Synopsis¶

Request Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to be signed by a Certificate Authority.

Syntax¶

Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate [-csrFilePath] <String> [-outDirPath] <String> [-certificateAuthority] <String>
[-caKeyPath] <String> [-caCertPath] <String> [-expireDays] <Int> [-caFqdn] <String> [-username] <String> 
[-password] <String> [-certificateTemplate] <String> [-getCArootCert] <Switch>

Description¶

The Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate cmdlet signs off a certificate signing request (CSR) using either the Microsoft Certificate Authority web enrollment service or OpenSSL method.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate -csrFilePath "C:\certificates\sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io.csr" -outDirPath "C:\certificates" -certificateAuthority "msca" -caFqdn "rainpole-ca01.rainpole.io" -username "Administrator" -password "VMw@re1!" -certificateTemplate "VMware"

This example will request the sfo-vrli01 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file to be signed by the Certificate Authority rpl-ad01.rainpole.io.

Example 2¶

Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate -csrFilePath "C:\certificates\sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io.csr" -outDirPath "C:\certificates" -certificateAuthority "msca" -caFqdn "rainpole-ca01.rainpole.io" -username "Administrator" -password "VMw@re1!" -certificateTemplate "VMware" -getCArootCert

This example will request the sfo-vrli01 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file to be signed by the Certificate Authority rpl-ad01.rainpole.io and will retrieve the Certificate Authority's root chain certificate.

Example 3¶

Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate -csrFilePath "C:\certificates\sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io.csr" -outDirPath "C:\certificates" -certificateAuthority "openssl" -caKeyPath "C:\certificates\CAroot.key" -caCertPath "C:\certificates\CAroot.pem" -expireDays 365

This example will request the sfo-vrli01 CSR file to be signed using OpenSSL and provided the Certificate Authority key and certificate.

Example 4¶

Invoke-RequestSignedCertificate -csrFilePath "C:\certificates\sfo-vrli01.sfo.rainpole.io.csr" -outDirPath "C:\certificates" -certificateAuthority "msca" -caFqdn "sfo-rainpole-ca01.sfo.rainpole.io" -username "Administrator" -password "VMw@re1!" -certificateTemplate "VMware" -getCArootCert

This example will request the sfo-vrli01 CSR file to be signed by the intermediate Certificate Authority sfo-rainpole-ca01.sfo.rainpole.io and will retrieve the Certificate Authority's full root chain certificate.
