Description

The New-SPTrustedRootAuthority cmdlet creates a trusted root authority. If a certificate file is used, it must have only one X509 certificate without private keys, otherwise an exception is raised.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

EXAMPLE

$cert = Get-PfxCertificate C:\LiveIDSigningCert.pfx
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name "WFEFarm1" -Certificate $cert

This example creates a new trusted root authority, WFEFarm1.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Applicable: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
