## about_PSCredentialStore

||||
|

|
||||
# SHORT DESCRIPTION
|
||||
PSCredentialStore enables managing multiple PSCredential objects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# LONG DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The PSCredentialStore is an simple credential manager for PSCredentials. It stores multiple credential objects in a
|
||||
simple json file. You can choose between a private and shared store. The private one exists in your profile and can
|
||||
ony accessed by your account on the same machine. The shared store enables you to use different credentials for your
|
||||
script without exposing them as plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
**The shared store isn't 100% secure and I don't recommend using it in production!**
|
||||
|
||||
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 scheduled tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started read the [about_PSCredentialStore](/src/en-US/about_PSCredential.help.txt) page.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
## PowerShellGallery.com (Recommended Way)
|
||||
|
||||
* Make sure you use PowerShell 4.0 or higher with `$PSVersionTable`.
|
||||
* Use the builtin PackageManagement and install with: `Install-Module PSCredentialStore`
|
||||
* Done. Start exploring the Module with `Import-Module PSCredentialStore ; Get-Command -Module PSCredentialStore`
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual Way
|
||||
|
||||
* Take a look at the [Latest Release](https://github.com/OCram85/PSCredentialStore/releases/latest) page.
|
||||
* Download the `PSCredentialStore.zip`.
|
||||
* Unpack the Zip and put it in your Powershell Module path.
|
||||
* Don't forget to change the NTFS permission flag in the context menu.
|
||||
* Start with `Import-Module PSCredentialStore`
|
||||
|
||||
**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 several systems or protocols.
|
||||
If you have already installed the underlying framework your can connect to:
|
||||
|
||||
* **CiscoUcs** - Establish a connection to a Cisco UCS fabric interconnect.
|
||||
* Required Modules: [`Cisco.UCS.Core`, `Cisco.UCSManager`](https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?i=!y&mdfid=286305108&softwareid=284574017&release=2.1.1)
|
||||
* **FTP** - Establish a connection to a FTP host.
|
||||
* Required Modules: [`WinSCP`](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/WinSCP)
|
||||
* **NetAppFAS** - Establish a connection to a NetApp Clustered ONTAP filer.
|
||||
* Required Modules: [`DataONTAP`](http://mysupport.netapp.com/tools/info/ECMLP2310788I.html?productID=61926)
|
||||
* **VMware** - Establish a connection to a VMware vCenter or ESXi host.
|
||||
* Required Modules: [`VMware.VimAutomation.Core`](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/VMware.PowerCLI)
|
||||
