Get-Certificate [-Credential <PkiCredential>] -Request* <Certificate> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]

Specifies the path to the certificate store for the received certificate. If the request is made pending, then the request object is saved in the corresponding request store. Note: Only My store is supported.

Specifies the credential to use for certificate enrollment. The credential can be a user name and password (a credential object), an X509 certificate, or the path to a certificate. If a credential is not specified, then Kerberos authentication is used.

Specifies one or more DNS names to be included in the certificate request as subject alternative name extension.

Specifies the X509 certificate or the path to a requested certificate located in the request store.

Specifies the subject name to be included in the certificate request.

Specifies the object identifier or name of a certificate template to use with the certificate request.

Specifies the policy server URL to use for certificate enrollment. Credentials are required if the endpoint requires a user name and password or certificate authentication from the client. If credentials are not found and Windows PowerShellr is in interactive mode, then a prompt for credentials will appear.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

The Certificate object can either be provided as a Path object to a certificate or an X509Certificate2 object. System.Uri The Uri object can also be pipelined by the Url property name.

The EnrollmentResult object contains the results of enrollment. EXAMPLE 1 PS C:\>$up = Get-Credential PS C:\>Get-Certificate -Template SslWebServer -DnsName www.contoso.com,www.fabrikam.com -Url https://www.contoso.com/Policy/service.svc -Credential $up -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My This example submits a certificate request for the SslWebServer template to the specific URL using the user name and password credentials. The request will have two DNS names in it. This is for a certificate in the machine store. If the request is issued, then the returned certificate is installed in the machine MY store and the certificate in the EnrollmentResult structure is returned with the status Issued. If the request is made pending, then the request is installed in the machine REQUEST store and the request in the EnrollmentResult structure is returned with the status Pending. EXAMPLE 2 PS C:\>$cert = ( Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine\My\EEDEF61D4FF6EDBAAD538BB08CCAADDC3EE28FF ) PS C:\>$enrollResult = Get-Certificate -Template SslWebServer -DnsName www.contoso.com -Url https://www.contoso.com/policy/service.svc -Credential $cert -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My This example submits a certificate request to a specific URL using the certificate credential for authentication. EXAMPLE 3 PS C:\>Set-Location -Path cert:\LocalMachine\My PS C:\>$enrollResult = ( Get-Certificate -Template WorkstationTemplate -Url https://www.contoso.com/service.svc ) This example authenticates the URL using the machine account and Windows integrated authentication and submits a request for a machine certificate of template named WorkstationTemplate. EXAMPLE 4 PS C:\>Set-Location -Path cert:\CurrentUser\My PS C:\>Get-Certificate -Template User -Url ldap: This example uses Windows integrated authentication to enroll for a certificate of template User using direct DCOM calls to the CA. EXAMPLE 5 PS C:\>$request = (Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine\Request\EEDEF61D4FF6EDBAAD538BB08CCAADDC3EE28FF) PS C:\>$up = Get-Credential PS C:\>Get-Certificate -Request $request -Credential $up This example retrieves and submits a pending request using a user name and password as credentials. EXAMPLE 6 PS C:\>$request = (Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine\Request\EEDEF61D4FF6EDBAAD538BB08CCAADDC3EE28FF) PS C:\>Get-Certificate -Request $request This example retrieves the certificate identified by $request. If the authentication type for $request.EnrollmentServer.AuthType is not Kerberos, then look in the credential store to see if there is a credential for $request.EnrollmentServer.Url. If there is a credential, then use it. If there is no credential, then Windows PowerShellr will request it (if Windows PowerShell is in Interactive mode).
