NetVault Plug-in for Microsoft 365 13.2.5 - User Guide

Adding a certificate for configuration

Plug‑in for Microsoft 365 supports certificate-based authentication. NetVault uses certificate thumbprint to fetch the private key from the Windows Certificate Manager.

Microsoft recommends certificate-based authentication over the domain, key, and access key method. Reasons for using a certificate to authenticate include:

•
Credential rotation is prone to human error.
•
Certificates last longer than credentials (mostly more than one year).
•
Using a certificate shares responsibility with Microsoft Credential Manager (Windows OS), Certificate Authority, and Azure AD.
•
It is the highest level of security for Microsoft Graph Client.
•
It has reliable credential encryption for compliance.

Before you add the certificate to your configuration as a means for authenticating, complete the following processes.

To add a certificate for configuration
1
Creating a self-signed certificate using PowerShell
2
Adding a certificate in the Azure AD admin portal
3
Importing a self-signed certificate to the local machine certificate store

$password = "Come up with something secure!" # Certificate password
$folderPath = "C:\temp" # Where do you want the files to get saved to? The folder needs to exist.
$fileName = "mycert" # What do you want to call the cert files? without the file extension
$yearsValid = 10 # Number of years until you need to renew the certificate
# --- config end
 
$certStoreLocation = "cert:\LocalMachine\My"
$expirationDate = (Get-Date).AddYears($yearsValid)
 
$certificate = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $dnsName -CertStoreLocation $certStoreLocation -NotAfter $expirationDate -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -KeySpec Signature
 
$certificatePath = $certStoreLocation + '\' + $certificate.Thumbprint
$filePath = $folderPath + '\' + $fileName
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -Force -AsPlainText
