This cmdlet automatically sets the certificate type to 'Data' (embedded) and stores the certificate content securely. For file-based certificates, you don't need this cmdlet - simply set the PrivateKeyCertificateType to 'File' and PrivateKeyCertificateFileName properties directly on the PSConnection object, then call Set-RDMEntry. Certificate data should be the complete SSH certificate in OpenSSH format (e.g., or ). Required permissions: Edit permission. ### Examples #### Example 1 ```powershell PS C:\> $cert = Get-Content "C:\keys\server-cert.pub" -Raw PS C:\> $entry = Get-RDMEntry -Name "MySshEntry" PS C:\> $entry | Set-RDMEntryPrivateKeyCertificateData -CertificateData $cert -Set ``` Set certificate data and save immediately #### Example 2 ```powershell PS C:\> $cert = Get-Content "cert.pub" -Raw PS C:\> $entry = Get-RDMEntry -Name "MySshEntry" PS C:\> $entry | Set-RDMEntryPrivateKeyCertificateData -CertificateData $cert -PassThru | Set-RDMEntryPassword -Password $pwd -PassThru | Set-RDMEntryUsername -Username "newuser" -PassThru | Set-RDMEntry ``` Chain with other cmdlets using PassThru #### Example 3 ```powershell PS C:\> $entry = Get-RDMEntry -Name "MySshEntry" PS C:\> $entry | Set-RDMEntryPrivateKeyCertificateData -CertificateData $cert PS C:\> # Make more modifications... PS C:\> Set-RDMEntry -InputObject $entry ``` Modify locally without saving ### Parameters #### -CertificateData Certificate content as text (OpenSSH certificate format) ```yaml Type: System.String DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: 0 IsRequired: true ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -Confirm Prompts for confirmation before running the cmdlet. ```yaml Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter DefaultValue: False SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: - cf ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -ForcePromptAnswer Switch to use with caution. It will automatically answer prompt asking yes/no, yes/no/cancel, or ok/cancel questions. In case of multiple prompts, multiple values can be passed to this parameter. Here are the accepted values: * Yes: Accept the prompt. Cover the OK and Automatic value. * No: Refuse the yes/no/cancel prompt. "Cancel" is the fallback option if there is no "No" option. * Cancel: Cancel the yes/no/cancel prompt. "No" is the fallback option if there is no "Cancel" option. ```yaml Type: System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult[] DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -InputObject Entry to set certificate data on ```yaml Type: RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule.PSOutputObject.PSConnection DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: true ValueFromPipeline: true ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -PassThru Return the modified entry for further pipeline processing ```yaml Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -Set Save the modified entry immediately ```yaml Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -VaultMode Vault where the command will be applied. Three choices are offered: - Default: Current vault that has been set. - User: Vault specific to the current user. - Global: Global vault of the workspace. ```yaml Type: Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.VaultMode DefaultValue: '' SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: [] ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### -WhatIf Shows what would happen if the cmdlet were to run. The cmdlet does not run. ```yaml Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter DefaultValue: False SupportsWildcards: false Aliases: - wi ParameterSets: - Name: (All) Position: Named IsRequired: false ValueFromPipeline: false ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName: false ValueFromRemainingArguments: false DontShow: false AcceptedValues: [] HelpMessage: '' ``` #### CommonParameters This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/set-rdmentryprivatekeycertificatedata.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
