Workflows

Authenticate

Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile
Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile "C:\Users...\Long-Name.credentials.publishsettings"

The first command creates a new management certificate and downloads it to your computer. It’s helpful to store it for reuse. For now I’m storing mine in C:\Users\YOU\Documents\Azure. You can view management certificates in Azure Portal > SETTINGS > MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATES. The second command imports the certificate into your PS session.

If you don’t want to use a management certificate, you can authenticate with
