Examples

Example 1: Create a connection for ConnectionTypeName=Azure

$FieldValues = @{"AutomationCertificateName"="ContosoCertificate";"SubscriptionID"="aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e"}
New-AzAutomationConnection -Name "Connection12" -ConnectionTypeName Azure -ConnectionFieldValues $FieldValues -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "AutomationAccount01"

The first command assigns a hash table of field values to the $FieldValue variable. The second command creates an Azure connection named Connection12 in the Automation account named AutomationAccount01. The command uses the connection field values in $FieldValues.

Example 2: Create a connection for ConnectionTypeName=AzureServicePrincipal

$Thumbprint = "0SZTNJ34TCCMUJ5MJZGR8XQD3S0RVHJBA33Z8ZXV"
$TenantId = "aaaabbbb-0000-cccc-1111-dddd2222eeee"
$ApplicationId = "00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444"
$SubscriptionId = "aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e"
$RunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues = @{"ApplicationId" = $ApplicationId; "TenantId" = $TenantId; "CertificateThumbprint" = $Thumbprint; "SubscriptionId" = $SubscriptionId}
New-AzAutomationConnection -Name "Connection13" -ConnectionTypeName AzureServicePrincipal -ConnectionFieldValues $RunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "AutomationAccount01"

The command creates an Azure connection named Connection13 in the Automation account named AutomationAccount01 using $RunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues and ConnectionTypeName=AzureServicePrincipal. This ConnectionTypeName=AzureServicePrincipal is mainly used for Azure Run As Account.

Example 3: Create a connection for ConnectionTypeName=AzureClassicCertificate

$SubscriptionName = "MyTestSubscription"
$SubscriptionId = "aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e"
$ClassicRunAsAccountCertifcateAssetName = "AzureClassicRunAsCertificate"
$ClassicRunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues = @{"SubscriptionName" = $SubscriptionName; "SubscriptionId" = $SubscriptionId; "CertificateAssetName" = $ClassicRunAsAccountCertifcateAssetName}
New-AzAutomationConnection -Name "Connection14" -ConnectionTypeName AzureClassicCertificate  -ConnectionFieldValues $ClassicRunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "AutomationAccount01"

The command creates an Azure connection named Connection14 in the Automation account named AutomationAccount01 using $ClassicRunAsAccountConnectionFieldValues and ConnectionTypeName=AzureClassicCertificate. This ConnectionTypeName=AzureClassicCertificate is mainly used for Azure Classic Run As Account.
