Adding Certificate to SharePoint Farm

In this blog, I will give you the powershell commands to add certificate to sharepoint farm server.The certificates created for SharePoint use are stored on each farm server in the LocalMachine\SharePoint store. 

 

# Set the certificate file path

$certPath = "C:\SharePointRootAuthority.cer"

 

# Get the certificate store for "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" (Cert:\LocalMachine\Root)

$certStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store Root, LocalMachine

 

$cert = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $certPath

$certStore.Open("MaxAllowed")

$certStore.Add($cert)

$certStore.Close()

 

 

Happy SharePointing :)
