Description
The New-AzAutomationCredential cmdlet creates a credential as a PSCredential object in Azure Automation.
Examples
Example 1: Create a credential
$User = "Contoso\PFuller"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "****" -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $User, $Password
New-AzAutomationCredential -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -Name "ContosoCredential" -Value $Credential -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"
The first command assigns a user name to the $User variable. The second command converts a plain text password into a secure string by using the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet. The command stores that object in the $Password variable. The third command creates a credential based on $User and $Password, and then stores it in the $Credential variable. The final command creates an Automation credential named ContosoCredential that uses $Credential.
