    Parameters

    Required Parameter Name Type Position Features Description
    required
    LocalContentLibrary
    LocalContentLibrary[] named
  • pipeline
  • A local content library whose properties you want to alter.
    optional
    CurrentPassword
    String named Indicates if you want to update a password protected content library. Currently set password is supplied to complete the operation. Note: Available on vCenter Server 6.7 and later.
    optional
    Description
    String named Specifies a human-readable description for the content library that you want to create.
    optional
    DisableAuthentication
    SwitchParameter named If specified, deactivates authentication of the content library.
    optional
    Name
    String named Specifies a new name for the content library.
    optional
    Password
    String named Specifies the password that you want to set or update to the target content library.
    optional
    PersistJson
    SwitchParameter named Specifies whether library and library item metadata are persisted in the storage location as JSON files. This flag only applies if you want to publish the local library. Enabling JSON persistence allows you to synchronize a subscribed library manually instead of over HTTP. You can copy the local library content and metadata to another storage location manually and then create a subscribed library referencing the location of the library JSON file in the SubscriptionUrl. When the subscribed library's storage location matches the subscription URL, you do not need to copy the files to the subscribed library.
    optional
    Published
    SwitchParameter named Specifies whether you want to publish the local library.
    optional
    Server
    VIServer[] named Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no given is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of the Connect-VIServer cmdlet.

    [CommonParameters]

    Parameters

    Required Parameter Name Type Position Features Description
    required
    SubscribedContentLibrary
    SubscribedContentLibrary[] named
  • wildcards
  • pipeline
  • Specifies a subscribed content library which properties you want to alter.
    optional
    AutomaticSync
    SwitchParameter named If specified, synchronization of content library items happens automatically. If not, synchronization happens by using the Set-ContentLibrary cmdlet with the Sync parameter.
    optional
    Description
    String named Specifies a human-readable description for the content library that you want to create.
    optional
    DisableAuthentication
    SwitchParameter named If specified, deactivates authentication of the content library.
    optional
    DownloadContentOnDemand
    SwitchParameter named Indicates whether a library item's content is synchronized only on demand. If specified, the library item's metadata is synchronized, but the item's content (its files) is not synchronized. The Content Library Service synchronizes the content upon request only. This can cause a noticeable delay when using the content for the first time. If not specified, all content is synchronized in advance.
    optional
    Name
    String named Specifies a new name for the content library.
    optional
    Password
    String named Specifies the password that you want to set or update to the target content library.
    optional
    Server
    VIServer[] named Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no given is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of the Connect-VIServer cmdlet.
    optional
    SslThumbprint
    String named Specifies an optional SHA-1 hash of the SSL certificate for the remote endpoint. If this value is defined, the SSL certificate is verified by comparing it to the SSL thumbprint. The SSL certificate must be verified against the thumbprint. When specified, the standard certificate chain validation behavior is not used. The certificate chain is validated normally if this value is unset.
    optional
    SubscriptionUrl
    String named Specifies the URL of the endpoint where the metadata for the remotely published library is served.
