Description

Provides the ability to set the userCertificate attribute for given accounts in Active Directory (AD).

The user performing the operation in PowerShell must have sufficient privileges in AD to set the userCertificate attribute. If the current user does not have sufficient privileges, the ADUserName and ADPassword parameters may be used instead.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Set userCertificate for two accounts (account and account2) in the identity pool called “MyPool”.

Set-AcctADAccountUserCert -IdentityPoolName MyPool -ADAccountName "Domain\account","Domain\account2"


SuccessfulAccountsCount       FailedAccountsCount    FailedAccounts
-----------------------       -------------------    --------------
2                         0    {}
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Set userCertificate for two accounts (account and account2) in the identity pool called “MyPool”. The accounts are set regardless of whether they are in the ‘inUse’ state or not.

Set-AcctADAccountUserCert -IdentityPoolName MyPool -ADAccountName "Domain\account","Domain\account2" -Force


  SuccessfulAccountsCount       FailedAccountsCount    FailedAccounts
  -----------------------       -------------------    --------------
  2                         0    {}
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 3

Shows failure of setting of one of two accounts and how to retrieve the failure reason.

Set-AcctADAccountUserCert -IdentityPoolName MyPool -ADAccountName "Domain\account","Domain\account2" -OutVariable result

  SuccessfulAccountsCount       FailedAccountsCount    FailedAccounts
  -----------------------       -------------------    --------------
  1                                               1    {account2}

  C:\PS>$result[0].FailedAccounts

ADAccountName                 ADAccountSid           ErrorReason
-------------                 -------------          ------------
Domain\account2               account2               IdentityObjectLocked

EXAMPLE 4

Set userCertificate for one account (S-1-5-21-1315084875-1285793635-2418178940-2685) in the identity pool called “MyPool”.

Set-AcctADAccountUserCert -IdentityPoolName MyPool -ADAccountSid S-1-5-21-1315084875-1285793635-2418178940-2685

  -----------------------       -------------------    --------------
