SYNOPSIS
Gets information about .pfx certificate files on the computer.
SYNTAX
ByPath (Default)
Get-PfxCertificate [-FilePath] <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
ByLiteralPath
Get-PfxCertificate -LiteralPath <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-PfxCertificate cmdlet gets an object representing each specified .pfx certificate file. A .pfx file includes both the certificate and a private key.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Get a .pfx certificate
PS C:\> Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\windows\system32\Test.pfx"
Password: ******
Signer Certificate: David Chew (Self Certificate)
Time Certificate:
Time Stamp:
Path: C:\windows\system32\zap.pfx
This command gets information about the Test.pfx certificate on the system.
Example 2: Get a .pfx certificate from a remote computer
PS C:\> Invoke-Command -ComputerName "Server01" -ScriptBlock {Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:\Text\TestNoPassword.pfx}" -authentication CredSSP
This command gets a .pfx certificate file from the Server01 remote computer. It uses Invoke-Command to run a Get-PfxCertificate command remotely.
When the .pfx certificate file is not password-protected, the value of the Authentication parameter of Invoke-Command must be CredSSP.
PARAMETERS
-FilePath
Specifies the full path to the .pfx file of the secured file.
If you specify a value for this parameter, it is not necessary to type -FilePath at the command line.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByPath
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-LiteralPath
The full path to the .pfx file of the secured file. Unlike FilePath, the value of the LiteralPath parameter is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell Windows PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByLiteralPath
Aliases: PSPath
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
