Import-BCSecretKey
Imports the cryptographic key that BranchCache uses for the generation of segment secrets.
Syntax
Import-BCSecretKey
[-Filename] <String>
-FilePassphrase <String>
[-Force]
[-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob]
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Import-BCSecretKey cmdlet imports the cryptographic key that BranchCache uses for the generation of segment secrets. Use this cmdlet when deploying BranchCache enabled content servers in a cluster or behind a network load balancer. If a file or webpage exists on multiple content servers, then each server must use the same secret key; otherwise, each copy of the file will be cached separately within the branch office.
Use the Export-BCSecretKey cmdlet to export the secret key from one server to a file. Import the contents of this file using this cmdlet.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Import-BCSecretKey -Filename C:\share1\secretkey.key -FilePassphrase mySecretPhrase
This example imports the key material in the file C:\share1\secretkey.key encrypted with the passphrase mySecretPhrase.
