NAME New-KmipClientCertificate
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet creates a new self-signed certificate or certificate-signing request for the key management server
cluster.
SYNTAX
New-KmipClientCertificate [-KmsCluster] <KmsCluster> [-CertificateSigningRequest] [-FilePath <String>] [-Server
<VIServer[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet creates a new self-signed certificate or certificate-signing request for the key management server
cluster.
PARAMETERS

Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FilePath <String>
Specifies the file path to which you want to export the self-signed certificate or certificate-signing request.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-KmsCluster <KmsCluster>
Specifies the key management server cluster for which you want to use the certificate as a client certificate.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False

Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
