DESCRIPTION

Enrolls or provisions a new certificate. Prior to TLSPDC 22.1, this function is asynchronous and will always return success. Beginning with 22.1, you can control this behavior. See https://docs.venafi.com/Docs/currentSDK/TopNav/Content/SDK/WebSDK/r-SDK-Certificates-API-settings.php.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -Name 'mycert.com'
Create certificate by name.  A CA template policy must be defined.

EXAMPLE 2

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -Name 'mycert.com' -CertificateAuthorityPath '\ved\policy\CA Templates\my template'
Create certificate by name with specific CA template

EXAMPLE 3

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -CertificateAuthorityPath '\ved\policy\CA Templates\my template' -Csr '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\nMIIDJDCCAgwCAQAw...-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----'
Create certificate using a CSR

EXAMPLE 4

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -Name 'mycert.com' -CertificateAuthorityPath '\ved\policy\CA Templates\my template' -CustomField @{''=''}
Create certificate and update custom fields

EXAMPLE 5

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -CommonName 'mycert.com' -CertificateAuthorityPath '\ved\policy\CA Templates\my template' -PassThru

EXAMPLE 6

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -Name 'mycert.com' -CertificateAuthorityPath '\ved\policy\CA Templates\my template' -SubjectAltName @{'Email'='me@x.com'},@{'IPAddress'='1.2.3.4'}
Create certificate including subject alternate names

EXAMPLE 7

New-VdcCertificate -Path '\ved\policy\folder' -Name 'mycert.com' -Device @{'PolicyDN'=$DevicePath; 'ObjectName'='MyDevice'; 'Host'='1.2.3.4'} -Application @{'DeviceName'='MyDevice'; 'ObjectName'='BasicApp'; 'DriverName'='appbasic'}
