xWebsite SSL Binding set certificate fails with "Value does not fall within the expected range." about webadministrationdsc HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,
Most probably the Unicode-encoded thumbprint was copied from the Certificate window.

In Notepad++ convert you script to ANSI. You can use Notepad too, but the file must be reopened. You should see something like this:

Remove it and you should be fine.

After experimenting, I believe I've figured out what the culprit is (still don't know why it's being caused).

I'm using Powershell 5.0 RTM in the environment.

It seems that when ConvertTo-WebBinding parses the BindingInfo, for certificateThumbPrint it inserts a Unicode Left-To-Right character at the beginning (8206). This causes the total length of the string to be 1 larger than intended (how I discovered it).

I solved it by doing
$CertificateThumbprint = $Binding.CertificateThumbprint -replace '[\W]',''
to strip out any weird characters.
Then change from
$OutputObject.Add('certificateHash', $Binding.CertificateThumbprint)
to
$OutputObject.Add('certificateHash', [String]$CertificateThumbPrint)

I stll can't figure out why it inserts the LTR character in the beginning though.

Hi @striker24JB @SNikalaichyk has submitted a fix for this which we've merged. As noted you can remove the character manually or if you update to dev latest it will remove the character for you. As this looks to be resolved I'm going to go ahead and close this. Please reopen if you are still having issues or need more assistance.
