[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-SqlLogin cmdlet creates a Login object in an instance of SQL Server.
Examples
Example 1: Create an SqlLogin type
PS C:\> Add-SqlLogin -ServerInstance "MyServerInstance" -LoginName "MyLogin" -LoginType "SqlLogin" -DefaultDatabase "OtherDatabase"
Name Login Type Created
---- ---------- -------
MyLogin SqlLogin 8/11/2016 3:19 PMThis command creates a Login object that is named 'MyLogin' of the type SqlLogin. The command specifies its default database as 'OtherDatabase' in the server instance named 'MyServerInstance'. This command prompts you for a password for the Login.
Example 2: Create an asymmetric key type
PS C:\> Add-SqlLogin -ServerInstance "MyServerInstance" -LoginName "MyLogin" -LoginType "AsymmetricKey" -AsymmetricKey "MyKey" -CredentialName "MyCredential"
Name Login Type Created
---- ---------- -------
MyLogin AsymmetricKey 8/11/2016 4:08 PMThis command creates a Login object that is named MyLogin of the type AsymmetricKey. It specifies an asymmetric key that is named MyKey. Also it maps the credential called MyCredential to the new Login object. The command operates in the server instance named MyServerInstance.
Parameters
-AccessToken
The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.
This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance
using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity.
The parameter to use can be either a string representing the token or a PSAccessToken object as returned by running Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies a PSCredential object for the connection to SQL Server. To obtain a credential object, use the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
