The New-SelfSignedCertificate
cmdlet creates a self-signed certificate for testing purposes. Using
the CloneCert parameter, a test certificate can be created based on an existing certificate with
all settings copied from the original certificate except for the public key. The cmdlet creates a
new key of the same algorithm and length.
Delegation may be required when using this cmdlet with Windows PowerShell remoting and changing user configuration.

, where {oid}
is the object identifier of the extension and {base64String}

is the object identifier of the extension and {String}
is a
value that you provide. {String}
must contain a textual representation of the extension value in a
format specific to each object ID. When {String}

extension value before being placed into the new certificate as an extension.
To specify that an extension is critical, insert {critical}
