General
=======
The PSCredentialStore is a simple credential manager for PSCredentials. It stores PSCredentials in a simple json
The PSCredentialStore is a simple credential manager for `PSCredential` objects. It stores PSCredentials in a simple json
file. You can choose between a private and shared credential 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
scripts 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.
Starting with version `1.0.0` PSCredential uses Pfx certificates fo encryption. You can use Pfx certification files
or certificates stored in the certification store.
For more details read the [about_PSCredentialStore](/docs/about_PSCredentialStore.md) page on github or via CLI with
`Get-Help about_PSCredentialStore`.
:exclamation: Upcoming Changes :exclamation:
================
Requirements
============
The will be some breaking changes starting with the `0.5.0.xxx`:
- **PSCredentialStore will use PFX certificates to encrypt your credentials.**
- This replaces the the current encryption methods and you need to recreate or upgrade your pre existing stores.
- The changes allows the PSCredentialStore module to support the PowerShell `Core` editions.
- Yes this means, you can use the module on any PowerShell 6 supported linux distribution.
- It's also possible to create a shared credential store and transfer it onto a another platform like:
`Windows -- to --> Linux` and vice versa.
- Automatically creates self signed certificate with 2048 bits RSA keys for encryption.
- PowerShell >= `5.1`
- .NET Framework >= `4.6` or .NET Core >= `1.0`
Installation
============
@ -61,10 +55,18 @@ Quick Start
**1.** First we need a blank credential store. 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.
Starting with version `1.0.0` you can decide the storage type of your fresh created certificate. As default
PSCredentialStore creates a new pfx certificate file beside the credential store itself. Optionally you can provide
the parameter `-UseCertStore`. This imports the new certificate in the user or machine certification store as well.

## SYNOPSIS
Adds a given pfx certificate file to current user's personal certificate store.
Creates a new credential store File
## SYNTAX
### Private (Default)
```
Import-CSPfxCertificate [-Path] <String> [[-StoreName] <String>] [[-StoreLocation] <String>]
[[-OpenFlags] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
New-CredentialStore [-Force] [-PassThru] [-SkipPFXCertCreation] [-UseCertStore] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

```
### Shared
```
New-CredentialStore [-Shared] [-Path <FileInfo>] [-Force] [-PassThru] [-SkipPFXCertCreation] [-UseCertStore]

```
## DESCRIPTION
This function is used to import existing pfx certificate files.
The Import-PFXCertificate cmdlet from the
PKI module imports the certificate into a deprecated store.
Thus you can't read the private key afterwards or
using it for decrypting data.
You need to run this script first to create a new credential store before you try to
save new credentials with New-CredentialStoreItem.
## EXAMPLES
### BEISPIEL 1
```
Import-CSPfxCertificate -Path (Join-Path -Path $Env:APPDATA -ChildPath '/PSCredentialStore.pfx')
New-CredentialStore
```
# Creates a new private CredentialStore
### BEISPIEL 2
```
New-CredentialStore -Force
```
# Resets an existing private CredentialStore
### BEISPIEL 3
```
New-CredentialStore -Shared
```
# Creates a new shared CredentialStore
### BEISPIEL 4
```
New-CredentialStore -Shared -Path "C:\TMP\CredentialStore.json"
```
# Creates a new shared CredentialStore in the given location.
## PARAMETERS
### -Path
Path to an existing *.pfx certificate file.
### -Force
Use this switch to reset an existing store.
The complete content will be wiped.

The PSCredentialStore is a simple credential manager for `PSCredential` objects. It stores PSCredentials in a simple json
file. You can choose between a private and shared credential 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!**
scripts without exposing them as plain text.
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.
Starting with version `1.0.0` PSCredential uses Pfx certificates fo encryption. You can use Pfx certification files
or certificates stored in the certification store.
For more details read the [about_PSCredentialStore](/docs/about_PSCredentialStore.md) page on github or via CLI with
`Get-Help about_PSCredentialStore`.
## Requirements
- PowerShell >= `5.1`
- .NET Framework >= `4.6` or .NET Core >= `1.0`
## Installation
## PowerShellGallery.com (Recommended Way)
* Make sure you use PowerShell 4.0 or higher with `$PSVersionTable`.
* Make sure you use PowerShell 5.1 or higher with `$PSVersionTable`.
* Use the builtin PackageManagement and install with: `Install-Module PSCredentialStore`
* Done. Start exploring the Module with `Import-Module PSCredentialStore ; Get-Command -Module PSCredentialStore`

**1.** First we need a blank credential store. 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.
Starting with version `1.0.0` you can decide the storage type of your fresh created certificate. As default
PSCredentialStore creates a new pfx certificate file beside the credential store itself. Optionally you can provide
the parameter `-UseCertStore`. This imports the new certificate in the user or machine certification store as well.
```powershell
# Private Credential Store
# Private credential store
New-CredentialStore
# Shared Credential Store
# Private credential store with certification store usage
New-CredentialStore -UseCertStore
# Shared credential rtore
New-CredentialStore -Shared
#Shared CredentialStore in custom Location
#Shared credential store 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
