Passing PSCredentials to New-SFClient

[schaepersm]

Hi,

following code does not work

$sfUsername = $Lab."Login Name"
$sfPassword = convertto-securestring -String $Lab.Password -AsPlainText -Force
$sfCred = New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $sfUsername, $sfpassword

$sfLogin = New-SfClient -Account $Lab.Account.Substring(0,9) -Credential $SFcred

looks like New-SFClient does not accept the PSCredentials object.

Even if working with
$SFCred = Get-Credentials
it does display the Webform for logging in

FYI:
$Lab is a CSV I'm importing as I need to work with 20 Accounts

Cheers,
Mauricio

Committed new version (1.1) that addresses this issue.

Hi,
took a while to check this. Are you sure this has been solved?
I'm running on version 1.3 still having the same issue running these commands:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $sfCred = Get-Credential
cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $sfLogin = New-SfClient -Name "$workDir$sfShortAccountName" -Credential $sfCred
New-SfClient : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
At line:1 char:12

• $sfLogin = New-SfClient -Name "$workDir$sfShortAccountName" -Credential $sfCred

•        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-SfClient], WebException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.WebException,ShareFile.Api.Powershell.NewSfClient

Hi Mauricio, bad argument handling in our part: when using -Credentials, you have to provide -Account as well. -Account is the subdomain - i.e., the prefix for your sharefile account. If you use "acme.sharefile.com" as your web site, then "acme" is the subdomain.

I've just tested it in my account using 1.3, and it reproduces your issue when -Account is not provided; but works when it does. Hopefully that'll work for you as well! Thanks!

Hi Juliano,

Ouch… seeing it right now in get-help new-sfclient on example two
I can confirm that this does work now

Thank you on your quick reaction!
Mauricio
