Description
The New-AzAutomationCertificate cmdlet creates a certificate in Azure Automation.
Provide the path to a certificate file to upload.
Examples
Example 1: Create a new certificate
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
New-AzAutomationCertificate -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -Name "ContosoCertificate" -Path "./cert.pfx" -Password $Password -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"
The first command converts a plain text password to be a secure string by using the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet.
The command stores that object in the $Password variable.
The second command creates a certificate named ContosoCertificate.
The command uses the password stored in $Password.
The command specifies the account name and the path of the file that it uploads.

Outputs
Notes
This command should be run on a machine that you are an administrator of, as well as in an elevated PowerShell session; before the certificate is uploaded, this cmdlet uses the local X.509 store to retrieve the thumbprint and key, and if this cmdlet is run outside of an elevated PowerShell session, you will receive an "Access denied" error.
