Small defined type that will allow you to manage Windows certificates.

A module that will allow you to install your certificates on Windows machines. It will manage pfx, cer, der, p7b, sst certificates.

• Installs certificates into your Windows key stores

To install a certificate in the My directory of the LocalMachine root store:

    sslcertificate { "Install-PFX-Certificate" :
      name       => 'mycert.pfx',
      password   => 'password123',
      location   => 'C:\',
      thumbprint => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B'
    }

To install a certificate in an alternative directory:

    sslcertificate { "Install-Intermediate-Certificate" :
      name       => 'go_daddy_intermediate.p7b',
      location   => 'C:\',
      store_dir  => 'CA',
      root_store => 'LocalMachine',
      thumbprint => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B'
    }

To install a certificate in the My directory of the LocalMachine root store and set the key as not exportable:

    sslcertificate { "Install-PFX-Certificate" :
      name           => 'mycert.pfx',
      password       => 'password123',
      location       => 'C:',
      thumbprint     => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B',
      exportable  => false
  }

For more details on the different options available with certificate management directories, see Windows Dev Center.

The primary definition of the sslcertificate module. This definition will install the certificates into your keystore(s).

Parameters within sslcertificate:

The password for the given certificate

The location where the file certificate is. Do not end the string with any forward or backslash. Note that in puppet manifests, double-backslashes must be re-doubled, even in single-quoted strings, e.g.

    sslcertificate { "Install-PFX-Certificate from UNC path" :
      name       => 'mycert.pfx',
      password   => 'password123',
      location   => '\\\\StorageServer\Fileshare',
      thumbprint => '07E5C1AF7F5223CB975CC29B5455642F5570798B'
    }

The thumbprint used to verify the certificate

The certifcate store where the certificate will be installed to

The store location for the given certification store. Either LocalMachine or CurrentUser

This parameter has been deprecated and isn't used anymore. The scripts aren't saved to disk anymore.

Flag to set the key as exportable. true == exportable; false == not exportable. By default is set to true.

Flag to set the MachineKeySet flag in import, used for importing wildcard certificates. Defaults to false

If this is set to true, any intermediate certificates included will be imported in the same store_dir, not the intermediate store. Defaults to false
