New-CsPartnerApplication
Creates a new partner application. A partner application is any application that Skype for Business Server can directly exchange security tokens with, without having to go through a third-party security token server. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2013.

[<CommonParameters>] Description
In Skype for Business Server, server-to-server authentication (for example, the authentication that enables Skype for Business Server and Exchange to share information) is carried out by using the OAuth security protocol. This type of authentication typically requires three servers: the two servers that need to communicate with one another (Server A and B) and a third-party security token server. If Servers A and B need to communicate with one another, the two servers contact the token server (also known as an OAuth server) and obtain mutually-trusted security tokens that the two servers can exchange in order to prove their identities.
If you are using an on-premises version of Skype for Business Server and you need to communicate with another server product that fully supports the OAuth protocol (for example, Exchange or SharePoint) then you typically do not need to use a token server; that's because these server products are able to issue their own security tokens. However, you will need to configure the other server product (e.g., Exchange) as a partner application. (You will also need to configure Skype for Business Server as a partner application for the other server product.) In Skype for Business Server, partner applications are managed by using the CsPartnerApplication cmdlets.
Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the New-CsPartnerApplication cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
New-CsPartnerApplication -Identity "MicrosoftExchange" -ApplicationTrustLevel "Full" -MetadataUrl "https://autodiscover.litwareinc.com/metadata/json/1"The command shown in Example 1 creates a new partner application with the Identity "MicrosoftExchange".
In this example, the new partner application uses the metadata URL https://autodiscover.litwareinc.com/metadata/json/1.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
New-CsPartnerApplication -Identity "MicrosoftExchange" -ApplicationIdentifier "microsoft.exchange" -ApplicationTrustLevel "Full" -UseOAuthServerThe command shown in Example 2 also creates a new partner application with the Identity "MicrosoftExchange". In this case, however, the new partner application does not use a metadata URL but, instead, is configured to use a predefined OAuth Server. To do this, the command uses the UseOAuthServer parameter instead of the MetadataUrl parameter.
Parameters
-AcceptSecurityIdentifierInformation
When set to True ($True), security identifiers (SIDs) can be used for authentication purposes. The default value is False.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-ApplicationIdentifier
Unique identifier for the partner application. The ApplicationIdentifier is provided by the server application. You cannot use the ApplicationIdentifier parameter and the MetadataUrl parameter in the same command.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-ApplicationTrustLevel
Specifies the level of trust between Skype for Business Server and the partner application. Allowed values are:
- Full -- The partner application is trusted to represent itself and to impersonate any user in the realm. This is the default value.
- Application -- The partner application is trusted to represent itself within the realm. In order to impersonate a user, it must obtain consent through from a security token server.
- User -- The partner application must obtain consent from a security token server in order to represent a user, and cannot represent itself.
The default value is Full.
| Type: | ApplicationTrustLevel |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-CertificateFileData
Path to a certificate file that can be assigned to the partner application. For example:
-CertificateFileData "C:\Certificates\PartnerApplication.cer"
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |
-CertificateRawData
Certificate (in Base64 encoded format) that can be assigned to the partner application. To read raw data from a certificate and then convert that data to the required format, use commands similar to these:
$x = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('C:\Certificates\PartnerApplication.cer')
$y = [Convert]::ToBase64String($x)
You can then use this syntax to assign the certificate data stored in the variable $y:
-CertificateRawData $y

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
| Applies to: | Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019 |

-Enabled
When set to True the partner application will be enabled and available for immediate use. The default value is True.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
