## Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1
Run elevated on the SQL Server host behind vsql. Requests a TLS certificate from PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA with certreq (RSA 2048, SHA-256, Server Authentication, SANs vsql.pesco.com, vsql and the host names, Key Storage Provider, exportable), installs it, grants the SQL Server service accounts read on the private key, points each instance at it, and prints or performs the restarts. `-WhatIf` shows the steps. Gitea issue 5 tracks the switch to `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes`.

.SYNOPSIS
Requests a SQL Server TLS certificate for vsql from PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA and installs it on the instances.
.DESCRIPTION
Run on the SQL Server host (the machine behind vsql.pesco.com) in an elevated PowerShell, as a
domain account that may enroll from the chosen template. The script:
1. Writes a certreq INF with the requirements Packet Station needs: RSA 2048, SHA-256,
Server Authentication EKU, subject CN=vsql.pesco.com, subject alternative names
vsql.pesco.com, vsql, the host's own FQDN and short name, key in the Microsoft Software
Key Storage Provider, exportable, in the machine store.
2. Submits the request to the CA and installs the issued certificate.
3. Grants the SQL Server service account(s) read access to the private key.
4. Points each SQL Server instance at the certificate (the same registry value that SQL Server
Configuration Manager sets). ForceEncryption is left as it is.
5. Prints the thumbprint and what to restart. With -RestartInstances it restarts the services
(a short VISUAL outage; run off-hours).
Afterwards, from docker-1:
docker compose ... run --rm --no-deps -e VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes worker doctor --skip mfiles,db,volume,smtp,clamav,ldap
should show "visual: Connect PASS" once the image trusts the PESCO CA.
.PARAMETER CertificateAuthority
The CA config string, host\name. Default DC-02.PESCO.COM\PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA.
.PARAMETER Template
The certificate template name. Default WebServer. Use the template IT prefers for servers; it
must allow Server Authentication and an exportable private key is not required but is set.
.PARAMETER Instances
SQL Server instance names to configure. Default: every instance found on this host
(MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, DEV for vsql\DEV, and so on).
.PARAMETER RestartInstances
Restart each configured instance so the certificate takes effect.
.EXAMPLE
.\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1
Requests and installs the certificate, configures every instance, prints restart instructions.
.EXAMPLE
.\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Instances DEV -RestartInstances
Configures only the DEV instance and restarts it.
.EXAMPLE
.\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -WhatIf
Shows what would happen without changing anything.
