Examples
EXAMPLE 1 Basic Config Import
Import-STFConfiguration -configurationZip '$env:userprofile\desktop\ConfigBackup.zip'
REMARKS
This will import the ConfigBackup.zip configuration archive using the host
base url and site id from the exported configuration.
EXAMPLE 2 Import Config to Configure an Unconfigured Machine
Import-STFConfiguration -configurationZip '$env:userprofile\desktop\ConfigBackup.zip' -hostBaseUrl 'https://storefront.example.com'
REMARKS
Using the password supplied in $CredObject this cmdlet will decrypt and import
the ConfigBackup.ctxzip backup archive using the host base url and site id
from the exported configuration.
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.
