function New-DbaCredential {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Creates a new SQL Server credential
 
.DESCRIPTION
Creates a new credential
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
The target SQL Server(s)
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to SQL Server using alternative credentials
 
.PARAMETER Name
The Credential name
 
.PARAMETER CredentialIdentity
The Credential Identity
 
.PARAMETER Password
Secure string used to authenticate the Credential Identity
 
.PARAMETER MappedClassType
Sets the class associated with the credential.
 
.PARAMETER ProviderName
Sets the name of the provider
 
.PARAMETER Force
If credential exists, drop and recreate
 
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed
 
.PARAMETER Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command
 
.PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

.EXAMPLE
New-DbaCredential -SqlInstance Server1
 
You will be prompted to securely enter your password, then a credential will be created in the master database on server1 if it does not exist.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-DbaCredential -SqlInstance Server1 -Database db1 -Confirm:$false
 
Suppresses all prompts to install but prompts to securely enter your password and creates a credential in the 'db1' database
