Please replace "**YourStrongPasswordHere**" with any password of your choice. You will only need this password once when uploading your certificate to the CyberNut Admin Portal. `# Define certificate parameters $certDnsName = "CyberNutCert" $certPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "YourStrongPasswordHere" -Force -AsPlainText $certDirectory = "C:\Certificates" $certPfxPath = "$certDirectory\CyberNutCert.pfx" $certCerPath = "$certDirectory\CyberNutCert.cer" $certValidityPeriod = 365 # Valid for 1 year # Create the directory if it doesn't exist if (-Not (Test-Path -Path $certDirectory)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $certDirectory } # Create a new self-signed certificate $cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $certDnsName -CertStoreLocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My" -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -KeySpec Signature -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddDays($certValidityPeriod) # Export the certificate to a .pfx file with a password Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $certPfxPath -Password $certPassword Write-Host "Certificate created and exported to $certPfxPath" # Import the certificate into the Current User's certificate store $certImported = Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath $certPfxPath -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" -Password $certPassword Write-Host "Certificate imported successfully into the CurrentUser\My store." # Optionally export the public certificate to a .cer file $thumbprint = $certImported.Thumbprint.ToUpper().Trim() $certToExport = Get-ChildItem -Path "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" | Where-Object { $_.Thumbprint.ToUpper().Trim() -eq $thumbprint } if ($certToExport) { Export-Certificate -Cert $certToExport -FilePath $certCerPath Write-Host "Public certificate exported to $certCerPath" } else { Write-Host "Certificate not found in the store. Public certificate export skipped." } Write-Host "Script completed successfully."` Locate the certificate. The output of this Powershell script will indicate where both CyberNut certificate files are saved. You should have two certificates with the extensions **.pfx** and **.cer**. #### **Uploading the Certificate to Azure** Go to **Microsoft Entra admin center** at [https://entra.microsoft.com/](https://entra.microsoft.com/) and click **App Registrations** and then **View all applications in the directory.** ![](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-36-15-8095-PM.png?width=670&height=356&name=image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-36-15-8095-PM.png) Click the **CyberNut Admin** app. ![](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-37-25-7467-PM.png?width=670&height=324&name=image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-37-25-7467-PM.png) Click **Certificates & secrets** section, click on **Upload Certificate** and upload the .cer file you previously generated using the Powershell script. ![](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-39-23-3377-PM.png?width=670&height=339&name=image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-39-23-3377-PM.png) You should now see your uploaded certificate in this section. ![Image](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-27-2025-08-13-26-3687-PM.png?width=670&height=143&name=undefined-Oct-27-2025-08-13-26-3687-PM.png) #### **Assigning Exchange Administrator Role** Lastly, please click on **Roles and Administrators** in your CyberNut Admin app registration and click the blue hyperlink that says **here**. ![](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-40-38-3547-PM.png?width=670&height=429&name=image-png-Dec-17-2025-09-40-38-3547-PM.png) Search for the **Exchange Administrator** role in the input field and select the words (not the checkbox). ![Image](https://knowledgebase.cybernut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-27-2025-08-13-30-9395-PM.png?width=670&height=180&name=undefined-Oct-27-2025-08-13-30-9395-PM.png) On the next screen, click on **Add Assignments** and search for **CyberNut Admin**.
