New-Certificate Cmdlet

Parameters   Output Objects   Configuration Settings  

The New-Certificate cmdlet is used to create new X.509 certificates in a certificate store.

Syntax

New-Certificate [parameters]

Remarks

To create a new certificate in a store, the CertStore and CertStoreType parameters must be specified. You can also specify the CertStorePassword parameter if the store so requires it. Subject and SerialNumber would specify the subject and serial number of the new certificate.

If IssuerSubject is specified, the new certificate will be issued using the selected root certificate, which must have a private key available. Otherwise, a self-signed certificate will be created.
