DESCRIPTION

Find objects by path, class, or pattern.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Find-TppObject
Get all objects recursively starting from \ved\policy

EXAMPLE 2

Find-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy\certificates'
Get all objects in the root of a specific folder

EXAMPLE 3

Find-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy\My Folder' -Recursive
Get all objects in a folder and subfolders

EXAMPLE 4

Find-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy' -Pattern '*test*'
Get items in a specific folder filtering the path

EXAMPLE 5

Find-TppObject -Class 'capi' -Path '\ved\policy\installations' -Recursive
Get objects of a specific type

EXAMPLE 6

Find-TppObject -Class 'capi' -Pattern '*test*' -Path '\ved\policy\installations' -Recursive
Get all objects of a specific type where the path is of a specific pattern

EXAMPLE 7

Find-TppObject -Class 'capi', 'iis6' -Pattern '*test*' -Path '\ved\policy\installations' -Recursive
Get objects for multiple types

EXAMPLE 8

Find-TppObject -Pattern '*f5*'
Find objects with the specific name.  All objects under \ved\policy (the default) will be searched.

EXAMPLE 9

Find-TppObject -Pattern 'awesome*' -Attribute 'Description'
Find objects where the specific attribute matches the pattern

PARAMETERS

-Path

The path to start our search. The default is \ved\policy.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: FindByPath, FindByPattern, FindByClass
Aliases: DN

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: \ved\policy
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Pattern

Filter against object paths. If the Attribute parameter is provided, this will filter against an object's attribute values instead of the path.

Follow the below rules: - To list DNs that include an asterisk () or question mark (?), prepend two backslashes (\\). For example, \\.MyCompany.net treats the asterisk as a literal character and returns only certificates with DNs that match .MyCompany.net. - To list DNs with a wildcard character, append a question mark (?). For example, "test_?.mycompany.net" counts test_1.MyCompany.net and test_2.MyCompany.net but not test12.MyCompany.net. - To list DNs with similar names, prepend an asterisk. For example, est.MyCompany.net, counts Test.MyCompany.net and West.MyCompany.net. You can also use both literals and wildcards in a pattern.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: FindByPattern, FindByAttribute
Aliases:

Required: True

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Type: String
Parameter Sets: FindByClass
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Class

1 or more classes/types to search for

Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: FindByClass
Aliases: TypeName

Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Recursive

Searches the subordinates of the object specified in Path.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: FindByPath, FindByPattern, FindByClass
Aliases: r

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False

-VenafiSession

Authentication for the function. The value defaults to the script session object $VenafiSession created by New-VenafiSession. A TPP token or VaaS key can also provided. If providing a TPP token, an environment variable named TPP_SERVER must also be set.

Type: PSObject
