step 1) change the line “Get-PACertificate | Format-List” to “$acmecert=Get-PACertificate | Format-List”

#now we don’t have to dive into the GUI because the created certificate is in a variable
step 2) define some variables to use in the command to update the API certificate

$plainpassword = “Password1234plain” (or use the PFX password used in acquiring the LE certificate)

$securepassword = $plainpassword | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force (converting it to a usefull powershell password)

#update the certificate using powershell
step 3) use the VBO Powershell commands to update the API certificate

Set-VBORestAPISettings -EnableService -CertificateFilePath $($acmecert.pfxfullchain) -CertificatePassword $securepassword

don’t forget to import the VBO module first!

cheers!
