1. Make sure your HSM (.e.g, USB Token) containing the Code Signing certificate is plugged into your computer or laptop.

2. Open Windows PowerShell.

3. To view all your Code Signing Certificates type the command below:

Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My –codesign

Note: You will see all your code signing certificates in an order that start from 0, 1, 2…

For this example, I have created a PowerShell script name “testscript.ps1” and I will used the Code Signing Certificate which is located on location [0] –

“ BB9373B96D226CAB1134E89535B590B681B8A37F  CN="Entrust, Inc.", O="Entrust, Inc.", L=Kanata, S=Ontario, C =CA”

Cmdlet to use:

Set-AuthenticodeSignature <script> @(Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My -CodeSign)<Location>
<script> - your PowerShell script
<Location> - Location of the Certificate in the format of [0] or [1] or [2] and so on

For example:

Set-AuthenticodeSignature .\testscript.ps1 @(Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My -CodeSign)[0]
Make sure the Status is set to Valid after running the cmdlet.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Entrust Certificate Services support department for further assistance.
