New-TlsSessionTicketKey
Creates a TLS session ticket key configuration file.
Syntax
New-TlsSessionTicketKey
[[-Path] <String>]
[-Password] <SecureString>
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The New-TlsSessionTicketKey
cmdlet creates a password protected Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Session Ticket key configuration file.
TLS creates a session ticket by using the TLS Session Resumption without Server-Side State mechanism. This mechanism helps to improve the performance of TLS. The TLS server uses this mechanism to create a key to encrypt a session ticket. The client can later use the encrypted session ticket to resume communication with the TLS server. Otherwise, the client must restart the communication by acquiring of new session ticket. For more information, see RFC 5077, Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Resumption without Server-Side State.
Examples
Example 1: Create a TLS session ticket key
$Password = Read-Host -AsSecureString
New-TlsSessionTicketKey -Password $Password -Path 'C:\KeyConfig\TlsSessionTicketKey.config'
The first command prompts the user to enter a password by using the Read-Host
cmdlet.
The command masks the password that the user types at the prompt.
For more information, type Get-Help Read-Host
.
The command stores the password in the $Password
variable.
The second command creates the session ticket key configuration file which can be used to enable the
TLS session ticket for a service account. The command specifies the path for the output
configuration file on the TLS server, and specifies that the TLS session use the password stored in
$Password
to access the configuration file.
