markecert.exe code example

Example: markecert.exe

1.- We create a new root trusted cert:
$rootCert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject 'CN=TestRootCA,O=TestRootCA,OU=TestRootCA' -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -KeyUsage CertSign,CRLSign,DigitalSignature -KeyLength 2048 -KeyUsageProperty All -KeyAlgorithm 'RSA' -HashAlgorithm 'SHA256'  -Provider 'Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider'

2.- We create the cert from the root trusted cert chain:
New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName "localhost" -FriendlyName "MyCert" -CertStoreLocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My" -Signer $rootCert -TextExtension @("2.5.29.37={text}1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1") -Provider "Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider" -HashAlgorithm "SHA256" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

3.- We copy the thumbprint returned by the last command

4.- (If neccesary) We remove the last association ip/port/cert:
netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443

5.- We associate the new certificate with any ip and port 443 (the appid value does not matter, is any valid guid):
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 appid='{214124cd-d05b-4309-9af9-9caa44b2b74a}' certhash=here_the_copied_thumbprint

6.- Now, you must open MMC (Certificates Local Computer) and drag and drop the TestRootCA  Personal/Certificates folder to Trusted Root Certification Authorities/Certificates.
