A certificate is imported by either specifying a CertificateFile and PrivateKeyFile, or specifying a PfxFile with an optional PfxPassword. A certificate request can be created by specifying a RequestFile path to output the request to. ## PARAMETERS ## Name (string) The name of the target Certificate. ``` Required? true Position? 0 Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## SiteId (uint) Site ID in which to add the Certificate. ``` Required? false Position? 1 Default value 0 Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Description (string) A user-defined Certificate description. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## PfxFile (string) Certificate file name in pfx format. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## PfxPassword (SecureString) The password of the pfx file specified in the PfxFile parameter. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## PrivateKeyFile (string) Private key file name. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## CertificateFile (string) Certificate file name. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Usage ([CertificateUsages](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/v20/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/types/certificateusages)) A set of usages to assign. To form a set of usages 'OR' individual usage enum IDs. Possible values: None, Gateway, HALB ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Gateway, HALB Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Enabled (bool) Whether to enable or disable the certificate being created. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value True Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## KeySize ([CertificateKeySize](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-powershell-api-guide/v20/parallels-ras-powershell-admin-module/types/certificatekeysize)) The Key Size for the certificate to be generated. Possible values: KeySize1024, KeySize2048, KeySize4096, KeySize3072, KeySize521, KeySizeUnknown ``` Required? false Position? named Default value KeySize2048 Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## CountryCode (string) The Country Code for the certificate to be generated. By default, the country code from the PowerShell region information is used. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value US Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## ExpireInMonths (uint) Specifies the length of validity of the certificate being generated. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value 12 Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## FullStateOrProvince (string) The Full State or Province for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## City (string) The City for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Organisation (string) The Organisation for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## OrganisationUnit (string) The Organisation Unit for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## Email (string) The Email for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## CommonName (string) The Common Name for the certificate to be generated. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## AlternateNames (string) The Alternate Names for the certificate to be generated. eg. IP:1.2.3.4,DNS:example.com ``` Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## RequestFile (string) Request file name to output Request Certificate to. ``` Required? true Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` ## LetsEncrypt (SwitchParameter) Let's Encrypt SwitchParameter ``` Required? true Position? named Default value False Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false ``` (CommonParameters) ``` This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.
