I've been following the guide here: http://www.cloudbase.it/windows-witho... and it has been very useful. But it does not explain how to do certificate authentication from a linux client, only a windows one. And from what I can tell, the pywinrm package does not seem to do this. How do I authenticate to a windows server over WinRM using a certificate?

Hello,

If you have followed the tutorial you will have two files:

  • key.pem
  • key.pfx

You will need a private key file you can obtain by running this command:

openssl pkcs12 -in key.pfx -out private_key.pem -nodes

This is an example Python code to authenticate using a certificate: http://paste.openstack.org/show/197184/

The certificate authentication support has been included in pywinrm with this commit: https://github.com/diyan/pywinrm/comm...

Make sure you have the pywinrm version which contains this patch.

Hope it helps.
