Examples

Output is provided by Microsoft.Online.Administration.ServicePrincipalCredential. The output retrieves the list of credentials associated with a service principal. Each service principal contains the following information:

  • Type - The type of service principal credential (Asymmetric/Symmetric/Password)

  • Value - The value of the credential. If the credential type is certificate, this represents the base 64 encoded certificate. If credential type is symmetric, it represents an AES key

  • KeyGroupId - The identifier reserved for internal use

  • KeyId - The unique identifier of the key

  • StartDate - The effective start date of the credential usage

  • EndDate - The effective end date of the credential usage

  • Usage - Specifies if the credential is used to "sign" or "verify" a token

Example 1

The following command will retrieve all of the credential properties (but not the credential value) associated with the service principal name (SPN) "MyApp/Contoso.com". An SPN must follow the format appClass/hostname, where appClass represents the application class ("MyApp") and hostname represents the hostname for the application (Contoso.com).

Get-MsolServicePrincipalCredential -ServicePrincipalName "MyApp/Contoso.com"
