The subject is always required and should begin with "CN=". The length, hash algorithm, and expiration date are optional, and default to `4096`, `sha512`, and `12/31/9999`, respectively. The `certreq.exe` command stores the private key in the current user's `My` certificate store. This function exports that private key to a file and removes it from the current user's `My` store. The private key is protected with the password provided via the `-Password` parameter. If you don't provide a password, you will be prompted for one. To not protect the private key with a password, pass `$null` as the value of the `-Password` parameter. The public key is saved as an X509Certificate. The private key is saved as a PFX file. Both can be loaded by .NET's `X509Certificate` class. Returns `System.IO.FileInfo` objects for the public and private key, in that order. Before Carbon 2.1, this function used the `makecert.exe` and `pvk2pfx.exe` programs, from the Windows SDK. These programs prompt multiple times for the private key password, so if you're using a version before 2.1, you can't run this function non-interactively. .OUTPUTS System.IO.FileInfo .LINK Get-CCertificate .LINK Install-CCertificate .EXAMPLE New-CRsaKeyPair -Subject 'CN=MyName' -PublicKeyFile 'MyName.cer' -PrivateKeyFile 'MyName.pfx' -Password $secureString Demonstrates the minimal parameters needed to generate a key pair. The key will use a sha512 signing algorithm, have a length of 4096 bits, and expire on `12/31/9999`. The public key will be saved in the current directory as `MyName.cer`. The private key will be saved to the current directory as `MyName.pfx` and protected with password in `$secureString`. .EXAMPLE New-CRsaKeyPair -Subject 'CN=MyName' -PublicKeyFile 'MyName.cer' -PrivateKeyFile 'MyName.pfx' -Password $null Demonstrates how to save the private key unprotected (i.e. without a password). You must set the password to `$null`. This functionality was introduced in Carbon 2.1. .EXAMPLE New-CRsaKeyPair -Subject 'CN=MyName' -PublicKeyFile 'MyName.cer' -PrivateKeyFile 'MyName.pfx' -Algorithm 'sha1' -ValidTo (Get-Date -Year 2015 -Month 12 -Day 31) -Length 1024 -Password $secureString Demonstrates how to use all the parameters to create a truly customized key pair. The generated certificate will use the sha1 signing algorithm, becomes effective 1/1/2015, expires 12/31/2015, and is 1024 bits in length. #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([IO.FileInfo])] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSAvoidUsingUserNameAndPassWordParams","")] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)] [ValidatePattern('^CN=')] [string] # The key's subject.
