Test-CredentialStoreItem

SYNOPSIS

Checks if the given RemoteHost identifier combination exists in the credential store.

SYNTAX

Private (Default)

Test-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost <String> [-Identifier <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Shared

Test-CredentialStoreItem [-Path <String>] -RemoteHost <String> [-Identifier <String>] [-Shared]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Use this cmdlet for basic checks with a single item. Check the item first with this function before you try to interact with it.

Breaking Change for `v1.1.0+`: Test-CredentialStoreItem will return `$false` even if the store doesn't exist. We removed the terminating error and replaced it with a warning message.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

if (Test-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost "Default") {
    Get-CredentialStoreItem -RemoteHost "Default"
}
else {
    Write-Warning ("The given Remote Host {0} does not exist in the credential Store!" -f $RemoteHost)
}
