salt.modules.win_pki.export_cert(name, thumbprint, cert_format='cer', context='LocalMachine', store='My', password='')

Export the certificate to a file from the given certificate store.

Parameters
  • name (str) -- The destination path for the exported certificate file.

  • thumbprint (str) -- The thumbprint value of the target certificate.

  • cert_format (str) -- The certificate format. Specify 'cer' for X.509, or 'pfx' for PKCS #12.

  • context (str) -- The name of the certificate store location context.

  • store (str) -- The name of the certificate store.

  • password (str) -- The password of the certificate. Only applicable to pfx format. Note that if used interactively, the password will be seen by all minions. To protect the password, use a state and get the password from pillar.

Returns

A boolean representing whether all changes succeeded.

Return type

bool

CLI Example:

salt '*' win_pki.export_cert name='C:\certs\example.cer' thumbprint='AAA000'
salt.modules.win_pki.get_cert_file(name, cert_format='cer', password='')

Get the details of the certificate file.

Parameters
  • name (str) -- The filesystem path of the certificate file.

  • cert_format (str) -- The certificate format. Specify 'cer' for X.509, or 'pfx' for PKCS #12.

Parameters
  • context (str) -- The name of the certificate store location context.

  • store (str) -- The name of the certificate store.

Returns

A dictionary of the certificate thumbprints and properties.

salt '*' win_pki.get_certs
salt.modules.win_pki.get_stores()

Get the certificate location contexts and their corresponding stores.

Returns

A dictionary of the certificate location contexts and stores.

Return type

dict

CLI Example:

salt '*' win_pki.get_stores
salt.modules.win_pki.import_cert(name, cert_format='cer', context='LocalMachine', store='My', exportable=True, password='', saltenv='base')

Import the certificate file into the given certificate store.

Parameters
