Simple Powershell wrappers for OpenSSL CA (certification authority)
Setup a new certification authority
New-CA [-caPath] <String> [-country] <String> [-state] <String> [-commonName] <String> [-passPhrase] <String> [[-firstSerial] <Int32>] [[-validityDays] <Int32>] [[-privateKeySize] <Int32>] [[-organization] <String>] [[-email] <String>] [[-city] <String>] [[-organizationalUnit] <String>] [-allowDuplicateSubjects] [<CommonParameters>]The New-CA function initializes a new OpenSSL certification authority in the given -caPath.
Review the created OpenSSL.cnf file to define behavior and defaults for your CA.
Full or relative path which will contain OpenSSL configuration file for a certification authority and related data files.
