Examples

EXAMPLE 1 Decrypt Config Export

Unprotect-STFConfigurationExport -encryptedConfigurationZip '$env:userprofile\desktop\ConfigBackup.ctxzip' -credential $CredObject -outputFolder 'C:\exampleFolder\exampleSubfolder' -Force
<!--NeedCopy-->

REMARKS

Using the password supplied in $CredObject this will decrypt and convert the ConfigBackup.ctxzip backup archive to an unencrypted .zip backup archive and save it to C:\exampleFolder\exampleSubfolder\ConfigBackup.zip overwriting any existing ConfigBackup.zip files that may exist at that location.

Example PSCredential:

$User = Any non empty string will suffice here. The exported configuration is secured by only using the $Password.

$Password = ‘Secret’

$Password = $Password

ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force

$CredObject = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User,$Password)

Create a PowerShell credential object containing a username and password for symmetric encryption and decryption of configuration backup archives. PowerShell credential objects store passwords as secure strings in memory.

The user is irrelevant but mandatory to create a PowerShell credential object. The example code uses the currently logged in user.

The password is used for symmetric encryption/decryption of the backup archive. NOTE: The password DOES NOT need to match the user’s password to create a valid credential object.
