.SYNOPSIS Create a new entry in the Windows Credential Manager vault. .DESCRIPTION This cmdlet uses the native unmanaged Win32 api to create a new entry in the Windows Credential Manager vault. The credential type and persist location can be specified. By default, a generic entry with no special purpose is created on the local machine persist location. Use one of the following persist locations: - Session The credential persists for the life of the logon session. It will not be visible to other logon sessions of this same user. It will not exist after this user logs off and back on. - LocalMachine The credential persists for all subsequent logon sessions on this same computer. It is visible to other logon sessions of this same user on this same computer and not visible to logon sessions for this user on other computers. - Enterprise The credential persists for all subsequent logon sessions on this same computer. It is visible to other logon sessions of this same user on this same computer and to logon sessions for this user on other computers. Use on of the following types: - Generic The credential is a generic credential. The credential will not be used by any particular authentication package. The credential will be stored securely but has no other significant characteristics. - DomainPassword The credential is a password credential and is specific to Microsoft's authentication packages. The NTLM, Kerberos, and Negotiate authentication packages will automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target. - DomainCertificate The credential is a certificate credential and is specific to Microsoft's authentication packages. The Kerberos, Negotiate, and Schannel authentication packages automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target. - DomainVisiblePassword This value is no longer supported. The credential is a password credential and is specific to authentication packages from Microsoft. The Passport authentication package will automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target. - GenericCertificate The credential is a certificate credential that is a generic authentication package. - DomainExtended The credential is supported by extended Negotiate packages. - Maximum The maximum number of supported credential types. - MaximumEx The extended maximum number of supported credential types that now allow new applications to run on older operating systems. .INPUTS None. .OUTPUTS SecurityFever.CredentialManager.CredentialEntry. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-VaultEntry -TargetName 'MyUserCred' -Credential $credential Create a new entry in the Credential Manager vault with the name MyUserCred and the credentials specified in the variable. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-VaultEntry -TargetName 'MyUserCred' -Username 'DOMAIN\user' -Password $secretPassword Create a new entry in the Credential Manager vault with the name MyUserCred, the username user and the password specified in the variable. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-VaultEntry -TargetName 'MyUserCred' -Type 'DomainPassword' -Persist 'Session' -Credential $credential Create a new entry in the Credential Manager vault with a custom type and persist options.
