Usage

Syntax
<CmdletProviderAttribute("Certificate", ProviderCapabilities.ShouldProcess)> _
Public NotInheritable Class CertificateProvider
Inherits NavigationCmdletProvider
[CmdletProviderAttribute("Certificate", ProviderCapabilities.ShouldProcess)]
public sealed class CertificateProvider : NavigationCmdletProvider
[CmdletProviderAttribute(L"Certificate", ProviderCapabilities::ShouldProcess)]
public ref class CertificateProvider sealed : public NavigationCmdletProvider
/** @attribute CmdletProviderAttribute("Certificate", ProviderCapabilities.ShouldProcess) */
public final class CertificateProvider extends NavigationCmdletProvider
CmdletProviderAttribute("Certificate", ProviderCapabilities.ShouldProcess)
public final class CertificateProvider extends NavigationCmdletProvider

Remarks
Providers are used to access data and components that would not otherwise be accessible at the command line. The data accessed is presented in a consistent format that resembles a file system drive.
Cmdlets use the Certificate provider to access all the defined X509 certificates that are used for digital signatures. For Help at the command line, type:
get-help about_provider
