Enable-TlsSessionTicketKey

Enable-TlsSessionTicketKey

Configures a TLS server with a TLS session ticket key.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Enable-TlsSessionTicketKey [-Password] <SecureString> [-Path] <String> [-ServiceAccountName] <NTAccount> [-Force] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Enable-TlsSessionTicketKey cmdlet configures a Transport Layer Security (TLS) server with an administrator-managed TLS session ticket key, and configures the rule that uses the key for the application service account.

TLS creates a session ticket by using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Resumption without Server-Side State mechanism [RFC 5077]. This mechanism helps to improve the performance of TLS. The TLS server uses this mechanism to create a key to encrypt a session ticket. The client can later use the encrypted session ticket to resume communication with the TLS server. Otherwise, the client must restart the communication by acquiring a new session ticket. For more information, see RFC 5077, "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Resumption without Server-Side State."

Parameters

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Examples

Example 1: Configure a TLS server with a TLS session ticket key

This example configures a TLS server with a key for the TLS session ticket.

The first command prompts the user to enter a password. The command masks the password that the user types at the prompt. The command stores the password in the $Password variable

The second command configures the session ticket key for the TLS server. The command specifies the path for the configuration file on the TLS server, and specifies that the TLS session use the password stored in $Password to access the configuration file.

PS C:\> $Password = read-host -assecurestring
PS C:\> Enable-TlsSessionTicketKey -Path "C:\keyconfig\tlssessionticketKey.config" -Password $Password -ServiceAccountName "Networkservice"
