Detailed Description

Provides the ability to create identity pools that can be used to store AD computer accounts.

The naming scheme, naming scheme type, and domain must be specified if the identity pool is to be used to create new accounts.

Each identity pool is tied to a single domain. All the identities in an identity pool belong to the same domain. If the domain is not specified by a parameter to this command the domain will be set when an account is imported into it.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
IdentityPoolName The name of the identity pool. This must not contain any of the following characters \/;:#.*?=<>|”“’ true false  
WorkgroupMachine If the accounts created should be is be part of a workgroup rather than a domain true false  
NamingScheme Defines the template name for AD accounts created in the identity pool. The scheme can consist of fixed characters and a variable part defined by ‘#’ characters. There can be only one variable region defined. The number of ‘#’ characters defines the minimum length of the variable region. For example, a naming scheme of H#### could create accounts called H0001, H0002 (for a numeric scheme type) or HAAAA, HAAAB (for an alphabetic type). Citrix recommends that you define a naming scheme that will not clash with accounts which already exist in AD; account creation will fail if a clash occurs. There are restrictions on what constitutes a valid computer name: Minimum name length: 2 (DNS) Maximum name length: 15 bytes (NetBIOS) The following characters are not allowed in a computer name: backslash () slash mark (/) colon (:) asterisk (*) question mark (?) quotation mark (“) less than sign (<) greater than sign (>) vertical bar (|) comma (,) tilde (~) exclamation point (!) at sign (@) number sign (#) dollar sign ($) percent (%) caret (^) ampersand (&) apostrophe (’) parenthesis (()) braces ({}) underscore (_) The following names are reserved and must not be used at the end of the naming scheme: -GATEWAY -GW -TAC Names must not start with a period (NetBIOS). Names must not be composed entirely of numbers (NetBIOS). Names must not contain a blank or space characters (DNS). false false  
NamingSchemeType The type of naming scheme. This can be Numeric or Alphabetic. This defines the format of the variable part of the AD account names that will be created. false false Numeric
AllowUnicode Allow the naming scheme to have characters other than alphanumeric characters. false false  
IdentityType The type of identity type. false false  
DeviceManagementType The type of device management type. false false  
StartCount Defines the next number that will be used if creating new AD accounts for the identity pool. false false  
Scope The administration scopes to be applied to the new identity pool. false false  
TenantId Specifies identity of tenant associated with Identity Pool. Must always be specified in multitenant sites, must not be specified otherwise. false false  
ZoneUid The UID that corresponds to the Zone in which these AD accounts will be created. This is only intended to be used for Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers. false false  
AzureADSecurityGroupName The name of AzureAD security group. This is only intended to be used when IdentityType is “AzureAD” or “HybridAzureAD”. false false  
AzureADAccessToken The access token of Microsoft Graph API. Must be specified if “AzureADSecurityGroupName” is specified to create Azure AD security group, and IdentityType is “AzureAD” or “HybridAzureAD”. false false  
AzureADTenantId The tenantId of AzureAD. Must be specified if “AzureADSecurityGroupName” is specified to create Azure AD security group, and IdentityType is “AzureAD” or “HybridAzureAD”. false false  
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. false false  
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false  
TraceParent Specifies the trace parent assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false  
TraceState Specifies the trace state assigned for internal diagnostic tracing use false false  
VirtualSiteId Specifies the virtual site the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. false false  
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.
OU The OU that computer accounts will be created into. If this is not specified, accounts are created into the default account container specified by AD. This is the ‘Computers’ container for out-of-the-box installations of AD. The OU must be a valid AD container and of the domain specified for the pool; false false  
Domain The AD domain name for the pool. Specify this in FQDN format; for example, MyDomain.com. false false  

Input Type

Return Values

Citrix.Adidentity.Sdk.Identitypool

This object provides details of the identity pool and contains the following information:

  • IdentityPoolName <string> The name of the identity pool.

  • IdentityPoolUid <Guid> The unique identifier for the identity pool.

  • NamingScheme <string> The naming scheme for the identity pool.

  • NamingSchemeType <Citrix.XDInterServiceTypes.ADIdentityNamingScheme> The naming scheme type for the identity pool. This can be one of the following: Numeric - naming scheme uses numeric indexes Alphabetic - naming scheme uses alphabetic indexes

  • StartCount <int> The next index to be used when creating an identity from the identity pool.

  • OU <string> The Active Directory distinguished name for the OU in which accounts created from this identity pool will be created.

  • Domain <string> The Active Directory domain that accounts in the pool belong to.
