Description¶
Creating an ACME order is the first step of the certificate request process. To create a SAN certificate with multiple names, include them all in an array for the -Domain parameter. The first name in the list will be considered the "MainDomain" and will also be in the certificate subject field. Different CAs have different policies regarding the number of SANs a certificate may have.
Be aware that new orders that share the same MainDomain as a previous order will overwrite the previous order unless the Name paraemter is specified and there are no other order matches for that name.
Examples¶
Example 1: Single Domain Order¶
New-PAOrder example.com
Create a new order for the specified domain using the default key length.
Example 2: Multi-Domain with Plugin¶
$pArgs = @{
FDToken = (Read-Host 'FakeDNS API Token' -AsSecureString)
}
$domains = 'example.com','www.example.com','blog.example.com'
New-PAOrder -Domain $domains -Plugin FakeDNS -PluginArgs $pArgs
Create a new SAN order for the specified domains and specify plugin details.
Example 3: ECDSA Private Key¶
New-PAOrder example.com -KeyLength 'ec-256'
Create a new order for the specified domain using an ECDSA P-256 private key.
Example 4: Pre-generated Private Key¶
New-PAOrder example.com -KeyFile .\mykey.key
Create a new order using an externally generated private key.
Example 5: External Cert Request¶
New-PAOrder -CSRPath .\myreq.csr
Create a new order using an externally generated certificate request.
Parameters¶
-Domain¶
One or more domain names to include in this order/certificate. The first one in the list will be considered the "MainDomain" and be set as the subject of the finalized certificate.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: FromScratch, ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-CSRPath¶
Either the filesystem path to a certificate request (CSR) file in PEM (Base64) format or the raw string contents of such a file. If using the string version, the PEM header and footer must be separated by line breaks from the Base64 content just like they would be in a normal file. This is useful for appliances that need to generate their own keys and cert requests or when the private key is otherwise unavailable.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: FromCSR
Aliases: CSRString
Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-KeyLength¶
The type and size of private key to use. For RSA keys, specify a number between 2048-4096 (divisible by 128). For ECC keys, specify either 'ec-256' or 'ec-384'. Defaults to '2048'.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: FromScratch
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 2
Default value: 2048
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-KeyFile¶
The path to an existing EC or RSA private key file. This will attempt to create the order using the specified key as the certificate's private key.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Name¶
The name of the ACME order. This can be useful to distinguish between two orders that have the same MainDomain. If not specified, defaults to the first domain in the order.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Plugin¶
One or more validation plugin names to use for this order's challenges. If no plugin is specified, the DNS "Manual" plugin will be used. If the same plugin is used for all domains in the order, you can just specify it once. Otherwise, you should specify as many plugin names as there are domains in the order and in the same sequence as the order.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PluginArgs¶
A hashtable containing the plugin arguments to use with the specified Plugin list.
So if a plugin has a -MyText string and -MyNumber integer parameter, you could specify them as @{MyText='text';MyNumber=1234}.
Type: Hashtable
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-DnsAlias¶
One or more FQDNs that DNS challenges should be published to instead of the certificate domain's zone. This is used in advanced setups where a CNAME in the certificate domain's zone has been pre-created to point to the alias's FQDN which makes the ACME server check the alias domain when validation challenge TXT records. If the same alias is used for all domains in the order, you can just specify it once. Otherwise, you should specify as many alias FQDNs as there are domains in the order and in the same sequence as the order.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-OCSPMustStaple¶
If specified, the certificate generated for this order will have the OCSP Must-Staple flag set.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: FromScratch, ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-AlwaysNewKey¶
If specified, the order will be configured to always generate a new private key during each renewal. Otherwise, the old key is re-used if it exists.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: FromScratch, ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Subject¶
Sets the x509 "Subject" field in the certificate request that gets sent to the ACME server. By default, it is set to 'CN=FQDN' where 'FQDN' is the first name in the Domain parameter. For public certificate authorities issuing DV certificates, anything other than a DNS name from the list of domains will either be rejected or stripped from the finalized certificate.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: FromScratch, ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-FriendlyName¶

Type: String
Parameter Sets: FromScratch, ImportKey
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False

Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: Poshacme
Accept pipeline input: False

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-DnsSleep¶

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm¶
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: cf
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-LifetimeDays¶
How long in days the certificate should be valid for. NOTE: Many CAs do not support this feature and have fixed lifetime values. Some may ignore the request. Others may throw an error if specified.
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-UseModernPfxEncryption¶
If specified, PFX files generated from this order will use AES256 with SHA256 for the private key encryption instead of the default which is RC2-40-CBC.
