Authenticated Sources

Credentials

Authentication is natively handled in cChoco with a PSCredential object. Generating a public/private key pair with the .Net RNGCryptoServiceProvider Class allows you to build a secure portable credential that we can convert to a native PSCredential object at runtime.

New-EncryptedCredential

This function is included to help generate an encrypted public private key pair.

    "contoso"    = @{
        Name     = "contoso.com"

        Source   = "https://contoso.com/repository/nuget-hosted/"
        Ensure   = "Present"
