Set-AzureAutomationCredential
Modifies a credential in Automation.
Note
The cmdlets referenced in this documentation are for managing legacy Azure resources that use Azure Service Manager (ASM) APIs. This legacy PowerShell module isn't recommended when creating new resources since ASM is scheduled for retirement. For more information, see Azure Service Manager retirement.
The Az PowerShell module is the recommended PowerShell module for managing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources with PowerShell.
Syntax
Default (Default)
Set-AzureAutomationCredential
-Name <String>
[-Description <String>]
[-Value <PSCredential>]
-AutomationAccountName <String>
[-Profile <AzureSMProfile>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
Important
This PowerShell command for Azure Automation is longer supported as of 01/23/2020. The Azure Service Management model is deprecated for Azure Automation and was disabled on that date. Please use the commands which support the Azure Resource Management model in Az.Automation.
The Set-AzureAutomationCredential cmdlet modifies a credential as a PSCredential object in Microsoft Azure Automation.
Examples
Example 1: Update a credential
PS C:\> $user = "MyDomain\MyUser"
PS C:\> $pw = ConvertTo-SecureString "PassWord!" -AsPlainText -Force
PS C:\> $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $user, $pw
PS C:\> New-AzureAutomationCredential -AutomationAccountName "Contos17" -Name "MyCredential" -Value $cred
These commands update an existing credential named MyCredential. A credential object is first created that includes a username and password. This is then used in the last command to update the automation credential.
Parameters
-AutomationAccountName
Specifies the name of the Automation account with the credential.
