When a new container is created using navcontainerhelper, if the -useSSL flag is used, a self-signed certificate is created and the url to the certificate file is retrieved. How to download and install the self-signed certificate after creating the container, using Powershell commands? Like this: $containername = ‘bccontainer’ $outputCertFilePath = ‘C:\Temp\’ + $containername + ‘_Certificate.cer’ […]
I’ve just shared a few cheat sheets that I’ve created, with Docker, Business Central, Powershell and NAVContainerHelper commands and a few more useful things. I’ll keep adding more things over time. You can find the link below as well as in the navigation bar. Hope you find it useful.

If you’re already embracing the beautiful (and challenging) world of events then you’ll surely use the BINDSUBSCRIPTION function. In this article I will present you with 3 usage examples. None […]
In my previous article Dynamics NAV Server hack by examples I’ve enumerated some tips on how to create and maintain NAV servers in a very hacky way. In this article I want to show you how to use Powershell modules with the same NAV/BC version but different cumulative updates on the same machine. Please note […]
