Summary

Documentation for Enable-WebCentralCertProvider states that you can pass PrivateKeyPassword argument as $null.

The truth is that both empty string or null is being ignored internally by this command (also affects Set-WebCentralCertProvider). You can now only set empty password when using the GUI as these commands do not work.

No response

Suggested Fix

Either state in the docs that -PrivateKeyPassword does not support $null or empty passwords, or have the server team fix the cmdlet.
