    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Links an existing PFX Certificate to a CredentialStore.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Linking a certificate is needed if you plan to use the same CredentialStore in cross platform scenarios.

    .PARAMETER Path
        Specify the path to the PFX Certificate you want to link for usage.

    .PARAMETER CredentialStore
        Specify a custom path for a shared credential store.

    .PARAMETER Shared
        Use the credential store in shared mode.

    .PARAMETER UseCertStore
        Use the given certificate and import it into the corresponding certificate store.

    .INPUTS
        [None]

    .OUTPUTS
        [None]

    .EXAMPLE
        Use-CSCertificate -Path 'C:\cert.pfx'
