there are a few ways that we can obtain certificates for a windows server the first way would be to purchase a public certificate from a location that sells it such as network solutions or godaddy or others another way would be to create a ca root authority which is a certificate root authority another rephrase another way to do this would be to create a root authority on one of our servers and then we can create certificates that are then trusted using group policy a third option which i'm going to do here is to use a self-signed certificate this is a great quick way and it doesn't cost anything to create a certificate to test out on applications one of the reasons you don't want to use a self-signed certificate for production is that users will get an error when they try to use an application with a self-signed certificate i'm going to paste in the command into powershell and we can see i'm going to create a certificate called test cert 1 and it's going to be installed on my local computer and now it's been created notice the thumbprint we're going to need that in a couple of commands now if we'd like to add a password to this certificate so it can be exported then we can do that as well without the password the certificate cannot be exported to other locations which can be a useful feature so we can see here we're going to convert to secure string with the password of password now the password i'm using is not very secure but it just gives you an idea how it works you can replace it with a more secure password and now that command is done take note that not all powershell commands when the run successfully will have any kind of output and then the last command that we're going to do is going to be to replace the thumbprint from the first command with the rephrase and rephrase and the last thing we're going to do is we're going to take the thumbprint from the first command and replace this test thumb print that i have here so i'm going to go to this thumb print and copy it and then i'm going to replace the thumb print that's here now i can go ahead and paste in this export command and what it'll do is it will export it to any location i like and we can see here it's exported it to the root of the c drive let's take a look at it and there's our certificate double click on it i can install it on another computer so if i copied this and pasted it into another computer i could install it and apply it towards any type of application i can also go to the properties and take a look at when it was created as well as find other detailed information about the...
