New-AdfsLdapServerConnection

  • Reference
Module:
ADFS

Creates a connection object.

Syntax

New-AdfsLdapServerConnection
   [-HostName] <String>
   [-Port <Int32>]
   [-SslMode <LdapSslMode>]
   [-AuthenticationMethod <LdapAuthenticationMethod>]
   [-Credential <PSCredential>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The New-AdfsLdapServerConnection cmdlet creates a connection object that represents the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) folder that serves as a claims provider trust. A connection object includes host name, port, and authentication credentials.

Examples

Example 1: Create an LDAP connection

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\ > $LdapConn = New-AdfsLdapServerConnection -HostName "DomainContoller03.contoso.com" -Port 389 -SslMode None -AuthenticationMethod Basic -Credential $Credential

The first command prompts you for a user name and password by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. The command stores the results in the $Credential variable.

The second command creates an LDAP connection. DomainContoller03.contoso.com is the fully qualified domain name of a domain controller in the other forest. The command stores the result in the $LdapConn variable.

To see this cmdlet as part of creating an LDAP local claims provider trust, see the Add-AdfsLocalClaimsProviderTrust cmdlet.
