As an alternative a new Ressource SPCentralAdministration
would be possible. Which could be used after SPFarm and SPCertificate. The Ressource would just contain the Certificate
and AllowLegacyEncryption
Parameter.
Also the Hostheader
Parameter would be added to SPFarm.
One thing about SPFarm - the reprovisioning of the Central Admin should be done with Set-SPCentralAdministration on SPSSE.
Problem description
SharePoint Subscrioption Edition added a few Parameters for the
SPCentralAdministration
Commands. The Parameter-Certificate
is one of them. In conjunction with the ParameterHostHeader
,UseServerNameIndication
,AllowLegacyEncryption
andUrl
it is now possible to create a Central Administration with an Certificate Binding and a URL of your choosing. Also with the benefit, that a .Provision() on the Webapplication or a psconfig run does not revert the URL to the default or removes the Binding from IIS. Also you could run two or more instances of the Central Administration behind a LoadbalancerCurrently this is not possible with the SPFarm Ressource.
Verbose logs
DSC configuration
Suggested solution
In order to achieve this the following Steps would be required:
New-SPCentralAdministration
orSet-SPCentralAdministration
Command and Import it if necessarySPCentralAdministration
CommandsI'd be happy to work on a pull request. I'm a bit concerend that this might get in conflict with the existing SPCertificate Ressource, but also could reuse the existing code :) Also I'm happy about feedback and if this enhanced fits in.
