New-SelfSignedCertificate not recognized in Powershell script of azure function

Question

I want to create self signed certificate using my run.ps1 under my Azure function but it is throughing error saying that "New-SelfSignedCertificate cmdlet is not recognized". AFAIK this command is available by default.

Answer 1

New-SelfSignedCertificate is not part of the Modules that are implemented in Azure Functions.

You will need to install/add the module to the: requirements.psd1 file the PKI module.

Try adding PKI (the module name).

I noticed this as well: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SelfSignedCertificate/0.0.4.
