Microsoft releases Secret Management Preview 2 module for PowerShell

We are excited to release a second preview of the Secret Management Module. Thanks to the tremendous feedback we received from the first preview release of this module, you will notice a number of breaking changes to the module. This release is still a preview release meaning that it is not feature complete, future releases will face breaking changes, and we are still iterating based on your feedback. It is important to also note that this version of the module is still Windows only as we are currently implementing Linux support which we hope to make available in the next preview release (and MacOS support after). Please note that because of the breaking changes this release requires a complete replacement of the Secret Management module and any extension modules. Additionally, any existing built in local vault secret can no longer be retrieved and must be re-saved.

How to Install Secret Management Preview 2

If you did not install our first preview release, open any PowerShell console and run:

Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement -AllowPrerelease

If you installed our first preview release you will want to first remove any secrets from the LocalDefaultVault. Based on feedback we changed the naming convention for secrets stored in CredMan, therefore previous secrets stored in the local vault will no longer be visible after the new version of the module is installed. (Although the user can still view/remove the old secrets via CredMan UI.) Next you will want to run Uninstall-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretsManagement, this extra step is a result of the change we made to the name of the module. Finally you can run the above command Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement -AllowPrerelease to install the latest preview release of the module.

Changes in Secret Management Preview 2

New Module Name

We have removed the plurality in the module name to Mirosoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement in order to be consistent with the cmdlet name and to align with PowerShell naming conventions.

New Cmdlet Names

In addition to renaming the module, we have also removed plurality in the cmdlets. The available cmdlets in the module are now:

Code:

# Registering extension vaults
Register-SecretVault
Get-SecretVault
Unregister-SecretVault
Test-Vault # new cmdlet in this release

# Accessing secrets
Set-Secret # this cmdlet replaces Add-Secret
Get-Secret
Get-SecretInfo
Remove-Secret
Click to expand...

You will notice we renamed the Add-Secret cmdlet to be Set-Secret. This change was based on user feedback that this name better conveyed the intention of the cmldet.

You will also notice that we have added a Test-Vault cmdlet, this change allows vault extension owners to check that the vault is properly configured at registration time.

Other Changes

Set-Secret now has a default parameter set that takes SecureString secret input type. This way Set-Secret will always prompt safely for a SecureString. String secret types can still be passed via parameter or pipeline, but default will be SecureString.

Code:

PS> Set-Secret -Name MyStringToken
cmdlet Set-Secret at command pipeline position 1 Supply values for the following parameters:
SecureStringSecret: **********

# Set string secret directly
Set-Secret -Name MyStringToken -Secret $token
Set-Secret -Name MyStringToken -Secret 'MyToken'
# Set string secret via pipeline
$token | Set-Secret -Name MyStringToken -NoClobber
Click to expand...

Added SecretInformation class used to return information from Get-SecretInfo in a uniform way.

Changed CredMan naming prefix to ps:SecretName.

Added vaultName to all vault extension functions.

Fixed additionalParameters parameter in SecretManagementExtension abstract classes.

Fixed return byte[] bug in example test script extension.

In coordination with these changes we have also updated our tests and example scripts.

Next Steps

As we move towards a GA release later this year, we are using a GitHub Milestone to track issues we plan to fix. The two major work items that we are currently working toward are:

Linux Support (via keyring)

MacOS Support (via keychain)

Support and Feedback

For support on the module, feedback, or reporting a bug, please open an issue in the PowerShell/modules repo with “(Secrets Management)” specified in the issue title.

PowerShell cmdlet to manage audio devices

Hi,

I would love to see even more PowerShell cmdlets that let you manage the native settings in Windows 10.

I have two topics I would appreciate if someone from Microsoft could shed some light on

Is there a long term goal to release PowerShell cmdlets for all settings you can configure in the Windows 10 GUI/Control panel?

It would be great to get native PowerShell cmdlet to managing audio/recording devices. To be able to select/change the default playback and recording devices could be of big help in an enterprise environment. One example could be to make sure the correct
speaker and mic are selected when running a video conference system based on Windows 10.

Are the above topics something that are planned for future Windows 10 releases?

Regards Erik
