The following commands are available:

  • Add-AppCertificateAuthority – Offers the option to add a CA certificate to the app-internal store. Only a single certificate can be imported and all common formats as they can be used on Windows are supported (e.g., .PFX, .P12, .CER, .CRT,...).

  • Add-PolicyServer – Add a policy server.

  • Add-VPNProfile – Create a VPN profile. Enter description, context, address, and authentication details as prompted.
