Importing array certificates

This section describes how to import certificates. If you do not want to import the certificates, Microsoft allows you to disable them.

Disable certificate validation

To disable certificate validation, run “[Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = { $true }” prior to executing the Connect-UnityArray cmdlet.

WARNING: Disabling certificate validation disables certificate validation for all cmdlets in current PowerShell session, including commands from other modules.
