Test-FasKeyPairCreation

SYNOPSIS

Creates a key pair.

SYNTAX

Test-FasKeyPairCreation [-AddToPrivateKeyPool <Boolean>] [-PrivateKeyPoolSizeLimit <Int32>] [-Address <String>]
 [-UserName <String>] [-Password <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
<!--NeedCopy-->

DESCRIPTION

This command creates a key pair using the FAS server’s configured cryptographic settings.

Use this command to verify key pair creation is working.

The created key pair is discarded by default; use the AddToPrivateKeyPool parameter to add the key pair to the FAS server’s private key pool for use in a subsequent certificate signing request (CSR). Doing this is advantageous because key pair creation is resource intensive.

Even if AddToPrivateKeyPool is set to $true, the created key pair is still discarded if the private key pool has reached its target size (as defined by the FAS server’s PrivateKeyPoolSize configuration setting). Use the PrivateKeyPoolSizeLimit parameter to allow the key pool to expand beyond its configured target size.

When the FAS service is stopped gracefully, unused keys in the private key pool are destroyed.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>

C:\PS> $CitrixFasAddress=(Get-FasServer)[0].Address
C:\PS> Test-FasKeyPairCreation -AddToPrivateKeyPool $true
<!--NeedCopy-->

Description


This code creates a key pair, and if successful adds the key pair to the FAS server’s private key pool, provided the key pool has not already reached its target size.
