Description

The New-ADClaimType cmdlet creates a new claim type in Active Directory.

Examples

Example 1: Create a new user claim type with a display name

PS C:\> New-ADClaimType -DisplayName "Title" -SourceAttribute "title"

This command creates a new user claim type with display name Title that is sourced from the Active Directory attribute Title .

Example 2: Create a new user claim type with a display name

PS C:\> $FullTime = New-Object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADSuggestedValueEntry("FTE", "Full-Time", "Full-time employee") 
PS C:\> $Intern = New-Object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADSuggestedValueEntry("Intern", "Intern", "Student employee") 
PS C:\> $Contractor = New-Object Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADSuggestedValueEntry("Contractor", "Contractor", "Contract employee") 
PS C:\> New-ADClaimType -DisplayName "Employee Type" -SourceAttribute "employeeType" -SuggestedValues $FullTime,$Intern,$Contractor

This example creates a new user claim type with display name Employee Type that is sourced from the Active Directory attribute employeeType . The suggested values are set to FTE, Intern, and Contractor. Applications using this claim type would allow their users to specify one of the suggested values as this claim type's value.

Example 3: Create a new device claim type with a display name with the source destination

PS C:\> New-ADClaimType -DisplayName "Bitlocker Enabled" -SourceOID "1.3.6.1.4.1.311.67.1.1" -Enabled $False

This command creates a new device claim type with display name Bitlocker Enabled with the source OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.67.1.1. The claim type set to disabled.

Example 4: Create a new user claim type with a display name that is sourced from an Active Directory attribute

PS C:\> New-ADClaimType -DisplayName "Title" -SourceAttribute "title" -ID "ad://ext/title"

This command creates a new user claim type with display name Title that is sourced from the Active Directory attribute Title and ID set to ad://ext/title.

The ID should only be set manually in a multi-forest environment where the same claim type needs to work across forests. By default, New-ADClaimType generates the ID automatically. For claim types to be considered identical across forests, their ID must be the same.

Required Parameters

-DisplayName

Specifies the display name of the claim type, which must be unique. The display name of a claim type can be used as an identity in other Active Directory cmdlets. For example, if the display name of a claim type is Employee Type, then you can use the Get-ADClaimType cmdlet to retrieve the Employee Type claim type.

Type: String
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-SourceAttribute

Specifies an Active Directory attribute from which this claim type is based, and from which the claim value is obtained. The input must be the distinguished name, Name, or GUID of the attribute definition in the schema.

Acceptable values include attributes of the following schema class objects: User , InetOrgPerson , Computer , ManagedServiceAccount , GroupManagedServiceAccount , and Auxiliary , except for the following attributes:

Attributes marked as defunct in the schema- Blocked attributes such as dBCSPwd , lmPwdHistory , and unicodePwd Attributes that are not replicated Attributes that are not available on read-only domain controllers Attributes with syntaxes not based on the following:

The default authentication method is Negotiate.

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.

Type: ADAuthType
Parameter Sets: Negotiate, Basic
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Credential

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.

If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.

Type: PSCredential
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Description

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the object. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name ( ldapDisplayName ) for this property is description.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Enabled

Specifies whether the claim type is enabled.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ID

Specifies the claim type ID. This is an optional parameter. By default, New-ADClaimType generates the ID automatically.

The ID should only be set manually in a multi-forest environment where the same claim types need to work across forests. For claim types to be considered identical across forests, their ID must be the same.

To specify the ID, the ID string must conform to the following format:

  • The ID must have a maximum of 37 characters.
  • The ID must have at least one slash (/).
  • The ID must have at least one colon before the first slash.
  • The ID must not have the slash as the last character.
  • The ID must contain valid file characters only.

An example is ad://ext/BusinessImpact.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Instance

Specifies an instance of a claim type object to use as a template for a new claim type object.

You can use an instance of an existing claim type object as a template or you can construct a new claim type object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script.

Method 1: Use an existing claim type object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an existing claim type object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADClaimType . Then provide this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADClaimType cmdlet to create a new claim type object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.

Method 2: Create a new claim type and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADClaimType cmdlet to create the new claim type object.

Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be set will raise an error.

Type: ADClaimType
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-IsSingleValued

Specifies whether the claim type is single valued or multi-valued.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-OtherAttributes

Specifies object attribute values for attributes that are not represented by cmdlet parameters. You can set one or more parameters at the same time with this parameter. If an attribute takes more than one value, you can assign multiple values. To identify an attribute, specify the LDAPDisplayName ( ldapDisplayName ) defined for it in the Active Directory schema.

Syntax:

To specify a single value for an attribute:

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value}

To specify multiple values for an attribute

-OtherAttributes @{'AttributeLDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2,...}

You can specify values for more than one attribute by using semicolons to separate attributes. The following syntax shows how to set values for multiple attributes:

-OtherAttributes @{'Attribute1LDAPDisplayName'=value; 'Attribute2LDAPDisplayName'=value1,value2;...}

Type: Hashtable
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion

Specifies whether to prevent the object from being deleted. When this property is set to $True, you cannot delete the corresponding object without changing the value of the property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • $False or 0
  • $True or 1
Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-RestrictValues

This parameter is used to specify whether the claim type may have values outside of the SuggestedValues parameter. If this is set to true, then the claim should only have values specified in the SuggestedValues parameter.

Note that Active Directory does not enforce this restriction. It is up to the applications that use these claims to enforce the restriction.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Server

Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, by providing one of the following values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. The service may be any of the following: Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory snapshot instance.

Specify the Active Directory Domain Services instance in one of the following ways:

Domain name values:

  • Fully qualified domain name
  • NetBIOS name

Directory server values:

  • Fully qualified directory server name
  • NetBIOS name
  • Fully qualified directory server name and port

The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:

  • By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline
  • By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain Services Windows PowerShell provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive
  • By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell
Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-SuggestedValues
