General

|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PSCredentialStore is an simple credential manager for PSCredentials. It stores multiple credential object in a
|
|
|
|
|
simple json file. Either as private file in your profile or in shared mode in other locations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PSCredentialStore was developed to simplify the delegation of complex powershell scripts. In this case you often
|
|
|
|
|
need to store credentials for non interactive usage like in sheduled tasks.

Quick Start
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**1.** First we need a blank CredentialStore. You can decide between a *private* or *shared* store. The private
|
|
|
|
|
Credential Store can only be accessed with your profile on the machine you created it.
|
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
|
|
|
# Private Credential Store
|
|
|
|
|
New-CredentialStore
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Shared Credential Store
|
|
|
|
|
New-CredentialStore -Shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Shared CredentialStore in custom Location
|
|
|
|
|
New-CredentialStore -Shared -Path 'C:\CredentialStore.json'
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**2.** Now you can manage your CredentialStoreItems:
|
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
|
|
|
# This will prompt for credentials and stores it in a private store
|
|
|
|
|
New-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost 'dc01.myside.local' -Identifier 'AD'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# You can now use it in other scripts like this:
|
|
|
|
|
$DCCreds = Get-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost 'dc01.myside.local' -Identifier 'AD'
|
|
|
|
|
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'dc01.myside.local' -Credential $DCCreds -ScripBlock {Get-Process}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CredentialStore contains also a simple function to establish a connection with the given remotehost in different
|
|
|
|
|
ways. If you have already installed the underlying framework your can conntect to:
|
|
|
|
|
- CiscoUcs - Establish a connection to a Cisco UCS fabric interconnect.
|
|
|
|
|
- FTP - Establish a connection to a FTP host.
|
|
|
|
|
- NetAppFAS - Establish a connection to a NetApp Clustered ONTAP filer.
|
|
|
|
|
- VMware - Establish a connection to a VMware vCenter or ESXi host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some basic examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
|
|
|
Connect-To -RemoteHost "ucs.myside.local" -Type CiscoUcs
|
|
|
|
|
Connect-To -RemoteHost "ftp.myside.local" -Type FTP
|
|
|
|
|
Connect-To -RemoteHost "fas.myside.local" -Type NetAppFAS
|
|
|
|
|
Connect-To -RemoteHost "esx01.myside.local" -Type VMware
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
