DESCRIPTION

The New-ADClaimType cmdlet creates a new claim type in Active Directory.





PARAMETERS

-AppliesToClasses <String[]>

This parameter is used to specify the security principal classes to which this claim applies. Possible values

for this parameter include the following (or any Active Directory type that derives from these base types):



- User



- Computer



- InetOrgPerson



- msDS-ManagedServiceAccount



- msDS-GroupManagedServiceAccount



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Depending on SourceAttribute / SourceOID, the value is set to User / Computer

respectively

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AuthType <ADAuthType>

Specifies the authentication method to use. Possible values for this parameter include:



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.



The following example shows how to set this parameter to Basic.



-AuthType Basic



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.AuthType.Negotiate

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Credential <PSCredential>

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the

credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory PowerShell

provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the

default.



To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as "User1" or "Domain01\\User01" or you can specify a

PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.



You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can

then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object The following example shows how to create

credentials.



$AdminCredentials = Get-Credential "Domain01\\User01"



The following shows how to set the Credential parameter to these credentials.



-Credential $AdminCredentials



If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory

PowerShell returns a terminating error.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Description <String>

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the

object. The LDAP Display Name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is "description".



The following example shows how to set this parameter to a sample description.



-Description "Description of the object"



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DisplayName <String>

Specifies the display name of the claim type, which must be unique. The display name of a claim type can be

used as an identity in other Active Directory cmdlets. For example, if the display name of a claim type is

"Employee Type", then you can use 'Get-ADClaimType -Identity "Employee Type"' to retrieve the claim type.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Enabled <Boolean>

Specifies if the claim type is enabled.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value True

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ID <String>

Specifies the claim type ID. This is an optional parameter. By default, New-ADClaimType generates the ID

automatically.



The ID should only be set manually in a multi-forest environment where the same claim types need to work

across forests. For claim types to be considered identical across forests, their ID must be the same.



To specify the ID, the ID string must conform to the following format:



1. It must have a maximum of 37 characters.



2. It must have at least one slash (/).



3. It must have at least one colon before the first slash.



4. It must not have the slash as the last character.



5. It must contain valid file characters only.



An example is "ad://ext/BusinessImpact".



Required? false

Position? named

Default value Auto-generated

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Instance <ADClaimType>

Specifies an instance of an claim type object to use as a template for a new claim type object.



You can use an instance of an existing claim type object as a template or you can construct a new claim type

object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script. The following examples show how to

use these two methods to create a new claim type object.



Method 1: Use an existing claim type object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an

existing claim type object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADClaimType. Then provide this object to the Instance

parameter of the New-ADClaimType cmdlet to create a new claim type object. You can override property values of

the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.



$objectInstance = Get-ADClaimType -Identity "Employee Type"



New-ADClaimType -Name "Employee Type" -Instance $ObjectInstance



Method 2: Create a new claim type and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line

interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADClaimType cmdlet to create the new

claim type object.



$objectInstance = new-object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADClaimType



$objectInstance.Description = "Employee Type can be full-time, intern or contractor."



New-ADClaimType -Name "Employee Type" -Instance $ObjectInstance



Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be

set will raise an error.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IsSingleValued <Boolean>

Specifies whether the claim type is single valued or multi-valued.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value True

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-OtherAttributes <Hashtable>

Specifies object attribute values for attributes that are not represented by cmdlet parameters. You can set

one or more parameters at the same time with this parameter. If an attribute takes more than one value, you

can assign multiple values. To identify an attribute, specify the LDAPDisplayName (ldapDisplayName) defined

for it in the Active Directory schema.



Syntax:



To specify a single value for an attribute:



-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value}



To specify multiple values for an attribute



-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2,...}



You can specify values for more than one attribute by using semicolons to separate attributes. The following

syntax shows how to set values for multiple attributes:



-OtherAttributes @{'Attribute1LDAPDisplayName'=value; 'Attribute2LDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2;...}



The following examples show how to use this parameter.



To set the value of a custom attribute called favColors that takes a set of Unicode strings, use the following

syntax:



-OtherAttributes @{'favColors'="pink","purple"}



To set values for favColors and dateOfBirth simultaneously, use the following syntax:



-OtherAttributes @{'favColors'="pink","purple"; 'dateOfBirth'=" 01/01/1960"}



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns the new or modified object. By default (i.e. if -PassThru is not specified), this cmdlet does not

generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion <Boolean>

Specifies whether to prevent the object from being deleted. When this property is set to true, you cannot

delete the corresponding object without changing the value of the property. Possible values for this parameter

include:



$false or 0



$true or 1



The following example shows how to set this parameter to true.



-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $true



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-RestrictValues <Boolean>

This parameter is used to specify whether the claim type may have values outside of the SuggestedValues. If

this is set to true, then the claim should only have values specified in the SuggestedValues.



Note that Active Directory does not enforce this restriction. It is up to the applications that use these

claims to enforce the restriction.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value True

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Server <String>

Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, 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.



Domain name values:



Fully qualified domain name



Examples: corp.contoso.com



NetBIOS name



Example: CORP



Directory server values:



Fully qualified directory server name



Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com



NetBIOS name



Example: corp-DC12



Fully qualified directory server name and port



Example: corp-DC12.corp.contoso.com:3268



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

they are listed:



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



-By using the server information associated with the Active Directory PowerShell provider drive, when running

under that drive.



-By using the domain of the computer running Powershell.



The following example shows how to specify a full qualified domain name as the parameter value.



-Server "corp.contoso.com"
