Examples

Example 1

This example shows how to enable the AES 128/128 hash.

Configuration Example
{
    param ()

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc

    node localhost {
        Cipher EnableAES128
        {
            Cipher = 'AES 128/128'
            State  = 'Enabled'
        }
    }
}

Example 2

This example shows how to disable the AES 128/128 hash.

Configuration Example
{
    param ()

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc

    node localhost {
        Cipher DisableAES128
        {
            Cipher = 'AES 128/128'
            State  = 'Disabled'
        }
    }
}

Example 3

This example shows how to reset the AES 128/128 cipher to the OS default.

Configuration Example
{
    param ()

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SChannelDsc

    node localhost {
        Cipher DisableAES128
        {
            Cipher = 'AES 128/128'
            State  = 'Default'
        }
    }
}
