## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Assigning Certificate using Certificate Files

This example shows how to assign a certificate using certificate files.

```
Add-VBRCloudGatewayCertificate -CertificatePath "C:\Certs\TechCompany.pfx" -PrivateKeyPath  "C:\Certs\OmegaCompany.key" -Password (Read-Host -AsSecureString "Enter certificate password")
```

::: example
### Example 2. Assigning TLS Certificate to Service Provider

This example shows how to get a certificate from the certificate store and assign it to the service provider.

```
$certificate = Get-VBRCloudGatewayCertificate -FromStore | Where FriendlyName -eq "Omega Company"
Add-VBRCloudGatewayCertificate -Certificate $certificate
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudGatewayCertificate`](get-vbrcloudgatewaycertificate.md) cmdlet. Provide the `FromStore` parameter value. Pipe the cmdlet output to the `Where` command to filter certificates by the `FriendlyName` parameter. Save the result to the `$certificate` variable.
2. Run the `Add-VBRCloudGatewayCertificate` cmdlet. Set the `$certificate` variable as the `Certificate` parameter value.
