Feature Request: Add function New-CertificateSigningRequestEx

[PatrickOnGit]

The function New-SelfSignedCertificateEx does not allow for creating CSRs. Neither does the SysadminsLV.PKI.Cryptography.X509Certificate.X509CertificateBuilder class.
So it would be great to have this function.

Next two months I will be very busy, but I will put this in my ToDo list.

I think, there will be two versions:

1. cross-platform with PKCS#1/PKCS#8 key storage (similar to OpenSSL). I know, there is CertificateRequest class in .NET 4.7.2 and .NET core, but I think, it is not flexible.
2. Microsoft-specific that will utilize windows certificate store.

If you have other ideas, drop them in this thread.

Hello Vadims This sounds great. Thank you. For PKCS#1/PKCS#8 key storage you might allow for encrypted and unencrypted PEM-key. What I'm also looking for is an option to sign CSR with a RA Agent certificate. Using PowerShells capability for dynamic parameters, it would be kind of cool if the commands would allow for tab completion for available Provider and Algorithm types etc. Your command Get-CryptographicServiceProvider already reveals this information. Thank you Kind regards Patrick

is there a plan to work on this request?

[Crypt32]

Yes, I'm considering this as well. In next version, I'm going to revisit existing GitHub items and work on them.
