Get-PFXCertificate doesn't have a -Password param like Import-PFXCertificate. So when I try to import a password protected pfx, it prompts for a password. It would be better if we could provide a password to it so we could use it in non-interactive code.
It looks like here it is doing the prompt
I am hoping that we can get functionality like Import-PFXCertificate -Password on Get-PFXCertificate
As a work around I have been able to do
$certFile = '\\server\share\pwd-protected.pfx'
$certPass = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'Enter the password for certificate: '
$PFXCert = Get-PfxData -FilePath $certFile -Password $certPass
$PFXCert.EndEntityCertificates.ThumbPrint
Steps to reproduce
$certFile = '\\server\share\pwd-protected.pfx'
$certPass = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'Enter the password for certificate: '
#Will prompt for password
$certThumbPrint = (Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certFile ).ThumbPrint
#Works fine, but imports the cert, which one might not want to do.
$PFXCert = Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certFile -Password $certPass -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My
Expected behavior
$certFile = '\\server\share\pwd-protected.pfx'
$certPass = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'Enter the password for certificate: '
$certThumbPrint = (Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certFile -Password $certPass ).ThumbPrint
Actual behavior
$certFile = '\\server\share\pwd-protected.pfx'
$certPass = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'Enter the password for certificate: '
$certThumbPrint = (Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certFile -Password $certPass ).ThumbPrint
Get-PfxCertificate : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Password'.
