The New-EapConfiguration cmdlet creates an XML file with the specified EAP configuration. You use this cmdlet to create the EAP XML configuration file for EAP authentication that is then used by the Set-VpnConnection cmdlet or the Add-VpnConnection cmdlet. If errors happen during the generation of the XML file, the error information is returned.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration

This command creates a default EAP configuration object, and stores it in the variable named $A. You can use the XML configuration object stored in the variable when you create a VPN connection or change the configuration of a VPN connection.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration -UseWinlogonCredential

This command creates an EAP configuration object, customized by the UseWinlogonCredential parameter, and stores it in the variable named $A. By specifying the UseWinlogonCredential parameter, the EAP configuration object is configured to use MSCHAPv2 as the authentication method, and that Windows logon credentials are used automatically when connecting with the VPN connection profile.

See VPN authentication options and Add connectivity profiles to learn more about VPN authentication methods.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration -Tls -VerifyServerIdentity -UserCertificate

This command creates a customized EAP configuration object and stores it in the variable named $A. The EAP configuration object is customized by specifying the following parameters:

• The Tls parameter, which indicates that this configuration object uses EAP-TLS
• The VerifyServerIdentity parameter, which indicates that the identity of the server to which the client connects is validated
• The UserCertificate parameter, which indicates that the EAP-TLS authentication method uses a user certificate.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration -Ttls

This command creates an EAP configuration object, customized by the Ttls parameter to use the TTLS authentication method. The configuration object is stored in the variable named $A.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration -Ttls -TunneledNonEapAuthMethod "MSChapv2" -UseWinlogonCredential

This command creates a new EAP configuration object and stores it in the variable named $A. The EAP configuration object is customized by specifying the following parameters:

• The Ttls parameter, which indicates that this configuration object uses TTLS as the authentication method
• The TunneledNonEapAuthMethod parameter with the MSChapv2 value, which specifies that MSCHAPv2 is used as the specific client authentication method
• The UseWinlogonCredential parameter, which indicates that Windows logon credentials are used automatically when connecting with the VPN connection profile that uses this EAP configuration object.

This command creates an EAP configuration object configured to use an EAP-TLS authentication method and to verify the server identity. The configuration object is stored in a variable named $B.
PS C:\>$B = New-EapConfiguration -Tls -VerifyServerIdentity

This command creates an EAP configuration object configured to use the TTLS authentication method, and specifies the *TunneledEapAuthMethod* parameter to use the EapConfigXmlStream created by the first EAP configuration object as the tunnel EAP authentication method.
PS C:\>$A = New-EapConfiguration -Ttls -TunneledEapAuthMethod $B.EapConfigXmlStream

This set of commands creates an EAP configuration object customized with a TTLS authentication method which uses EAP-TLS as the tunneled client authentication method.

PS C:\> $A = New-EapConfiguration -Peap

This command creates an EAP configuration object customized by the Peap parameter to use the PEAP authentication method. The configuration object is stored in a variable named $A.

This command creates the EAP configuration object and stores it in the variable named $B. The EAP configuration object is customized to use the TLS authentication method by the *Tls* parameter, and configured to verify the identity of the server by the *VerifyServerIdentity* parameter.This command implicitly configures a smart card to be used for authentication.
PS C:\>$B = New-EapConfiguration -Tls -VerifyServerIdentity

This command uses the *EapConfigXmlStream* method of the EAP configuration object created in the previous command to specify the value for the *TunneledEapAuthMethod* parameter. This command also specifies that PEAP is the authentication method, as specified by the *Peap* parameter; that NAP is enabled for PEAP, as specified by the *EnableNap* parameter; and that *FastReconnect* is enabled, as specified by the *FastReconnect* parameter.
PS C:\>$a = New-EapConfiguration -Peap -EnableNap -FastReconnect $True -VerifyServerIdentity -TunneledEapAuthMethod $b.EapConfigXmlStream

This set of commands creates an EAP configuration object customized with the TLS authentication method, and then uses its EapConfigXmlStream object as the tunneled authentication method.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

This cmdlet returns a VpnConnection object that contains the VPN connection configuration settings.
