| # New-CertificateSigningRequest.ps1 | |
| # Written by Bill Stewart (bstewart AT iname.com) | |
| # Windows provides the 'certreq -New' command to generate a certificate signing | |
| # request (CSR) file, but the "policy" (.inf) file format it requires is arcane | |
| # and cumbersome to format correctly. One of the the primary purposes of this | |
| # script is to provode an easier-to-use INI file format that makes it simpler | |
| # to specify the subject and subject alternative names (SANs) for the CSR | |
| # without worrying about the formatting requirements of the .inf file. | |
