Examples

Example 1

This example sets the super use and reader accounts for the specified web app. It will also set the appropriate web app policies by default for these accounts.

    Configuration Example
    {
        param
        (
            [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
            [PSCredential]
            $SetupAccount
        )

        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

        node localhost
        {
            SPCacheAccounts SetCacheAccounts
            {
                WebAppUrl            = "http://sharepoint.contoso.com"
                SuperUserAlias       = "DEMO\svcSPSuperUser"
                SuperReaderAlias     = "DEMO\svcSPReader"
                PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount
            }
        }
    }

Example 2

This example sets the super use and reader accounts for the specified web app. It will not set the web app policies for these accounts though, allowing them to be controlled elsewhere (either manually or with SPWebAppPolicy)

Configuration Example
{
    param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $SetupAccount
    )

    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

    node localhost
    {
        SPCacheAccounts SetCacheAccounts
        {
            WebAppUrl            = "http://sharepoint.contoso.com"
            SuperUserAlias       = "DEMO\svcSPSuperUser"
            SuperReaderAlias     = "DEMO\svcSPReader"
            SetWebAppPolicy      = $false
            PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}
