Syntax

Unlock-AcctIdentityPool
      -IdentityPoolUid <Guid>
      [-LoggingId <Guid>]
      [-SkipCertificateValidation]
      [<CitrixCommonParameters>]
      [<CommonParameters>]
Unlock-AcctIdentityPool

Description

Provides the ability to unlock the specified identity pool. Identity pools are locked automatically when being updated (e.g. when new accounts are being created). The pool must never be left in a locked state; this command allows recovery from an error should one ever occur. Use this command with caution, as unlocking an identity pool which is supposed to be locked may result in unexpected behavior.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Unlocks the identity pool called "MyPool", setting the Lock field to false.
Unlock-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityPool MyPool

EXAMPLE 2

Unlocks all the locked identity pools.
Get-AcctIdentityPool -Filter {Lock -eq $true} | Unlock-AcctIdentityPool

-LoggingId
