New-VICredentialStoreItem
This cmdlet creates a new entry in the credential store. If there is an existing entry for the specified host and user, it is overwritten. If the credential store file does not exist, it is created (along with its directory if needed). If no file is specified, the item is created in the default credential store file %APPDATA%\VMware\credstore\vicredentials.xml. Credential store items for vCloud Director servers must contain user name and organization in the following format: user_name:organization_name, where both names are lower-cased.
