New LDAPS run-command for Azure VMware Solution

What are we doing?

Showing a newer version of the New-LDAPSIDentitySource Run-Command within Azure VMware Solution

Lets build this

If you have been following along and you have used our previous article(s) - AZURE VMWARE SOLUTION: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO LDAPS IDENTITY INTEGRATION - PART 1 - you would have realized that this quite a process. We took our many customers feedback to our Product Group (PG) within Microsoft and we have worked with them, to create a new version of the “Run-Command” and this has been released publicly.

You are looking for the “5.3.54” version of the run commands and “New-LDAPSIdentitySource”

You will notice that the “SSLCertificateSasUrl” field is now OPTIONAL. The “i” information bubble will now explain how it works. Basically the service now looks for the Domain Controllers based upon the information you provide and now connects and attempts to download the certificates automatically. Provided you have the pre-requisites in place, Like a Certificate Authority (CA), this works really well and speeds up the process tremendously and removes lot of complexity like dealing with Stroage Accounts, uploading the certificates and creating the required SAS Tokens.

A very welcome change.
