function Test-CredentialStore {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Returns the credential store state.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Use this script to test your credential store. For now it only checks if
        the file exists.

    .PARAMETER Path
        Define a custom path to a shared CredentialStore.

    .PARAMETER Shared
        Switch to shared mode with this param. This enforces the command to work with a shared CredentialStore which
        can be decrypted across systems.
