Complete the installation of Windows PowerShell Web Access by doing the following. 1) Open a Windows PowerShell console with elevated user rights To do this, on the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows PowerShell shortcut, and then click "Run as administrator." You can also right-click the Windows PowerShell program file, Powershell.exe, to start Windows PowerShell as an administrator To open Windows PowerShell as an administrator from the new Windows Start page, search for the Windows PowerShell shortcut by typing any part of the name Windows PowerShell until the shortcut is displayed on the Start page. Right-click the shortcut, and then click Advanced. On the Advanced menu, click Run as administrator. 2) Install the Windows PowerShell Web Access web application and SSL certificate You can run the cmdlet Install-PswaWebApplication to install the web application or install manually. For manual installation, please refer to the help link at the bottom of this file. Windows PowerShell Web Access uses the HTTPS protocol, and a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is necessary. If you do not have a certificate, but want to set up a test environment, the cmdlet can install the web application with a test SSL certificate. To configure your environment with a test certificate, add the -UseTestCertificate parameter. Do not use the test certificate option for production environments. Install-PswaWebApplication allows you to specify the website and web application name. The default values for -WebSiteName and -WebApplicationName are "Default Web Site" and "pswa" respectively. Additional Web Server (IIS) security can be applied to the web application, such as client certificate authorization, and denial-of-service attack prevention. See the help link at the bottom of this file for more advanced setup options. 3) Authorize users to open Windows PowerShell Web Access connections By default, no users are authorized to open Windows PowerShell Web Access connections. Authorization is granted, and authorization rules created, by running the Add-PswaAuthorizationRule cmdlet. We recommend that you consider which users in your organization need access to computers from outside your corporate network, and configure authorization rules accordingly. You can use "*" to grant access to all users, computers, or session configurations. Example: Add-PswaAuthorizationRule * * * In the preceding example, any user would be authorized to connect to any session configuration on any computer. Local access rules that are set on destination computers would still apply, and might prevent users from establishing connections. For more information about how to configure authorization rules and additional authorization rule options, type Get-Help Add-PswaAuthorizationRule. Other cmdlets for managing authorization rules are Get-PswaAuthorizationRule, Remove-PswaAuthorizationRule, and Test-PswaAuthorizationRule. 4) Start using Windows PowerShell Web Access The default web address is https:///pswa.
