NAME Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy



SYNOPSIS

Gets one or more Active Directory Domain Services authentication policies.





SYNTAX

Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Properties <String[]>]

[-ResultPageSize <Int32>] [-ResultSetSize <Int32>] [-Server <String>] -Filter <String> [<CommonParameters>]



Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy [-Identity] <ADAuthenticationPolicy> [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential

<PSCredential>] [-Properties <String[]>] [-Server <String>] [<CommonParameters>]



Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy [-AuthType {Negotiate | Basic}] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Properties <String[]>]

[-ResultPageSize <Int32>] [-ResultSetSize <Int32>] [-Server <String>] -LDAPFilter <String> [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy cmdlet gets an authentication policy or performs a search to get authentication

policies.



The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory Domain Services authentication policy to get. You can

identify an authentication policy by its distinguished name (DN), GUID or name. You can also use the Identity

parameter to specify a variable that contains an authentication policy object, or you can use the pipeline

operator to pass an authentication policy object to the Identity parameter.



You can search for and use multiple authentication policies by specifying the Filter parameter or the LDAPFilter

parameter. The Filter parameter uses the Windows PowerShell???? expression language to write query strings for Active

Directory Domain Services. Windows PowerShell expression language syntax provides rich type conversion support for

value types received by the Filter parameter. For more information about the Filter parameter syntax, see

about_ActiveDirectory_Filter. If you have existing LDAP query strings, you can use the LDAPFilter parameter.





PARAMETERS

-AuthType <ADAuthType>

Specifies the authentication method to use. The acceptable values for this parameter are:??



--Negotiate or 0



--Basic or 1



The default authentication method is Negotiate. A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the

Basic authentication method.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Credential <PSCredential>

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform the task. The default is the current user. Type a user

name, such as "User01" or "Domain01\\User01", or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the

Get-Credential cmdlet.



By default, the cmdlet uses the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an

Active Directory Domain ServicesWindows PowerShell provider drive. If you run the cmdlet in a provider drive,

the account associated with the drive is the default.



If you specify credentials that do not have permission to perform the task, the cmdlet returns an error.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Filter <String>

Specifies a query string that retrieves Active Directory Domain Services objects. This string uses the Windows

PowerShell expression language syntax. The Windows PowerShell expression language syntax provides rich

type-conversion support for value types received by the Filter parameter.



Specify the Filter parameter in one of the following formats:



--To match a single filter element: {Attributeoperator "value"}



--To match multiple filter elements: {(Attribute1operator1 "value1") joinOperator (Attribute2operator2

"value2")}



Windows PowerShell wildcards other than "*", such as "?" are not supported by the Filter syntax.



Valid filter operators are:



-eq, -le, -ge, -ne, -lt, -gt, -approx, -bor, -band, -recursivematch, -like, -notlike



Valid join operators are:



-and, -or



The not operator is -not



For a list of supported types for values, see about_ActiveDirectory_ObjectModel. For more information about

the Filter parameter, see about_ActiveDirectory_Filter.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Identity <ADAuthenticationPolicy>

Specifies an Active Directory Domain Services authentication policy object. Specify the authentication policy

object in one of the following formats:



--Distinguished Name



--GUID



--Name



This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to an object

instance.



The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If the cmdlet finds two or

more objects, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.



Required? true

Position? 0

Default value

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-LDAPFilter <String>

Specifies an LDAP query string used to filter Active Directory Domain Services objects. Use this parameter to

run your existing LDAP queries.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Properties <String[]>

Specifies the properties of the output object to get from the server. Use this parameter to get properties

that are not included in the default set.



Specify the properties to get as a comma separated list of names. For properties that are not default or

extended properties, you must specify the LDAP display name of the property. To display all of the properties

that are set on the object, specify an asterisk wildcard.



To get properties for an object and display them, you can use this cmdlet and pass the output to the

Get-Member cmdlet by using the pipeline operator.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ResultPageSize <Int32>

Specifies the number of objects to include in one page for an Active Directory Domain Services query. The

default value is 256 objects per page.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value 256

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ResultSetSize <Int32>

Specifies the maximum number of objects to return for an Active Directory Domain Services query. If you want

to get all of the objects, set this parameter to $Null. You can use Ctrl+C to stop the query and the return of

objects.



The default value is $Null.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Server <String>

Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to which to connect, by providing one of the following

values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: Active

Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory Snapshot instance.



Specify the Active Directory Domain Services instance in one of the following ways:



--Domain name values:



----Fully qualified domain name



----NetBIOS name



--Directory server values:



----Fully qualified directory server name



----NetBIOS name



----Fully qualified directory server name and port



The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are

listed:



--By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline



--By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain ServicesWindows PowerShell

provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive



--By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS

None or Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADAuthenticationPolicy



This cmdlet accepts an authentication policy object.





OUTPUTS

Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADAuthenticationPolicy



Returns one or more authentication policy objects. This cmdlet returns a default set of ADAuthenticationPolicy

property values. To retrieve additional ADAuthenticationPolicy properties, use the Properties parameter.





Example 1: Get an authentication policy



PS C:\\> Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy -Identity AuthenticationPolicy01



This command gets an authentication policy object by specifying the object name.

Example 2: Get an authentication policy by using an LDAP filter



PS C:\\> Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy -LDAPFilter "(name=AuthenticationPolicy*)" -Server Server01.Contoso.com



This command gets all authentication policies that match the LDAP filter specified by the LDAPFilter parameter.

Example 3: Get an authentication policy by using a filter



PS C:\\> Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy -Filter "Name -like 'AuthenticationPolicy*'" -Server Server02.Contoso.com



This command gets all authentication policies that match the filter specified by the Filter parameter.

Example 4: Get all authentication policy objects that match a filter



PS C:\\> Get-ADAuthenticationPolicy -Filter * | Format-Table Name, Enforce -AutoSize

Name Enforce



---- -------



AuthenticationPolicy1 False



AuthenticationPolicy2 False



This command gets all the authentication policies available. The output is then passed to the Format-Table cmdlet

to display the name of the policy and the value for Enforce on each policy.
