Description

The Test-PswaAuthorizationRule cmdlet verifies whether a rule exists for a specified user, computer, or endpoint. This cmdlet can also be used to test authorization rules to validate that a particular user, computer or endpoint access request is authorized.

By default, this cmdlet evaluates all rules in the authorization file. However, you can specify a subset of rules to test.

You can use this cmdlet to help troubleshoot authentication failures.

The parameters for this cmdlet correspond to fields on the Windows PowerShell® Web Access sign-on page.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\> Test-PswaAuthorizationRule -ComputerName srv2.contoso.com -UserName contoso\mhanson -ConfigurationName test

This example tests all authorization rules in order to display all the rules that allow the user contoso\mhanson to connect to the computer srv2 and use a Windows PowerShell session configuration named test.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Test-PswaAuthorizationRule -UserName contoso\mhanson -ComputerName *

This example tests all authorization rules to check which authorization rules apply to the user contoso\mhanson.
