.PARAMETER Attribute
Hashtable with initial values for the new object.
These will be specific to the object class being created.
 
.PARAMETER PushCertificate

Only available if a 'Certificate' key containing the certificate path is provided for Attribute.
Please note, this feature was added in v18.3.
 
.PARAMETER PassThru
Return a TppObject representing the newly created object.
 
.PARAMETER VenafiSession
Session object created from New-VenafiSession method. The value defaults to the script session object $VenafiSession.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy\Test Device' -Class 'Device' -Attribute @{'Description'='new device testing'}
Create a new device
 
.EXAMPLE
New-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy\Test Device' -Class 'Device' -Attribute @{'Description'='new device testing'} -PassThru
Create a new device and return the resultant object
 
.EXAMPLE
New-TppObject -Path '\VED\Policy\Test Device\App' -Class 'Basic' -Attribute @{'Driver Name'='appbasic';'Certificate'='\Ved\Policy\mycert.com'}
