Description

The New-SqlCredential cmdlet creates a new SQL Server credential object. A SQL Server credential object is used to store authentication information. The SQL Server credential is required when backing up to or restoring from the Windows Azure storage service, and is used to store the Windows Azure storage account name and access key information.

Examples

Example 1: Create a SQL credential for the current instance of SQL Server

PS C:\> cd SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance
PS SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance> New-SqlCredential -Name "MySqlCredential" -Identity "MyWindowsAzureStorageAccount" -Secret "P4ssw0rd"

The first command changes the directory to SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance.

Example 2: Create a SQL credential for all instances of SQL Server

PS C:\> cd SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance
PS SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance> $SecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString "[Placeholder]" -AsPlainText -Force
PS SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance> $Instances = Get-ChildItem
PS SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance> $Instances | New-SqlCredential -Name "MySqlCredential" -Identity "MyWindowsAzureStorageAccount" -Secret $SecureString

The first command changes the directory to SQLServer:\SQL\Computer\Instance.

The forth command uses the pipeline to pass the instances to the New-SqlCredential to create a SQL Credential named MySqlCredential on all the instances of SQL Server.

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.

Type:PSObject
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Encrypt

The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.

This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.

In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

Type:String
Accepted values:Mandatory, Optional, Strict
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-HostNameInCertificate

The host name to be used in validating the SQL Server TLS/SSL certificate. You must pass this parameter if your SQL Server instance is enabled for Force Encryption and you want to connect to an instance using hostname/shortname. If this parameter is omitted then passing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to -ServerInstance is necessary to connect to a SQL Server instance enabled for Force Encryption.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Identity

Specifies the name of user or account. For Windows Azure storage service authentication, this is the name of the Windows Azure storage account.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the Server object where the credential should be created.

Type:Server
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies the name of the credential.

Type:String
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True

Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specifies the path of the instance of SQL Server for which this cmdlet runs the operation. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the cmdlet uses the current working location.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ProgressAction

Determines how PowerShell responds to progress updates generated by a script, cmdlet, or provider, such as the progress bars generated by the Write-Progress cmdlet. The Write-Progress cmdlet creates progress bars that show a command's status.
