Release v1.0.16

Bug Fixes

• [CRITICAL] Resolved authentication failures in Connect-HPEGL caused by updates to Okta endpoints (auth.hpe.com), which broke all authentication methods across published module versions.
  • Affected scenarios included MFA with push notifications, MFA with OTP codes, SSO, and single-factor authentication.
  • Users encountered "Invalid username or password" errors despite valid credentials, preventing connections to HPE GreenLake services.
  • Resolution: Updated library to use the OIDC/IDX OAuth flow, aligning with HPE GreenLake's recommended authentication and authorization standards.
• Fixed Get-HPECOMServer -ShowGroupFirmwareCompliance to handle servers not assigned to any group.
• Corrected Get-HPECOMActivity to properly return activity dates.
• Resolved incorrect WorkloadProfile definitions in New-HPECOMSettingServerBios and Set-HPECOMSettingServerBios, adding support for the 'custom' profile option.
• Added warning in Add-HPECOMServerToGroup when the server is already a member of another group.
• Restored functionality in Get-HPECOMServeriLOSSO via a temporary workaround using legacy COM API endpoints, pending full implementation of new endpoints.
• Fixed Test-HPECOMExternalService to accurately detect test completion, addressing typos, procedural errors, and changes in activity source names.
• Improved Invoke-HPEGLAutoReconnect to detect expired tokens and return appropriate errors.
• Updated Get-HPECOMAppliance to handle cases with no valid Compute Ops Management - OneView Edition subscription without error messages.
• Numerous additional minor bug fixes and enhancements for overall stability.

New Cmdlets

• New-HPECOMSettingiLOSettings and Set-HPECOMSettingiLOSettings
  • Enable creation and configuration of iLO settings.
  • Support key areas like account services, network protocols, SNMP, and security services.
  • Updated New-HPECOMGroup and Set-HPECOMGroup to apply iLO settings at the group level.
• Invoke-HPECOMGroupiLOConfiguration
  • Triggers iLO configuration updates for some or all members of a server group.
• Get-HPECOMGroupiLOConfigurationCompliance
  • Reports iLO configuration compliance status for servers in a group.
  • Aids in monitoring and enforcing consistent iLO settings across the group.
• Get-HPECOMSustainabilityInsights
  • Fetches sustainability metrics for COM-managed servers, including energy use, CO2 emissions, and cost savings.
  • Facilitates environmental impact tracking and optimization.
  • Replaces the deprecated Get-HPECOMSustainabilityReport.
• Get-HPECOMServerUtilizationInsights
  • Provides utilization data for COM-managed servers (CPU, memory bus, I/O bus).
  • Supports proactive performance monitoring and infrastructure management.
• Get-HPEGLOrganization
  • First cmdlet to interact with HPE GreenLake organizational resources.
  • Retrieves information about HPE GreenLake organizations.
  • Provides insights into organizational structure, resource allocation, and compliance.
• Remove-HPEGLWorkspace
  • Deletes the connected workspace in HPE GreenLake.
  • Includes -NotifyAllWorkspaceUsersByEmail to alert all users via email.
  • Streamlines cleanup of unused workspaces; note that deletion disconnects the session—reconnect via Connect-HPEGL -Workspace <workspace_name>.

Improvements

• Enhanced Security in Verbose Logging
  • Automatically redacts sensitive data (e.g., stateHandle tokens, SAMLRequest payloads, okta_key parameters, passwords) in authentication functions like Connect-HPEGL and Connect-HPEGLDeviceComputeiLOtoCOM, as well as -WhatIf scenarios.
  • Masks values as [REDACTED] to prevent exposure in debug transcripts, shared logs, or CI/CD pipelines while maintaining log utility.
  • No impact on core functionality or non-verbose output.
• Get-HPECOMServer
  • Added -ShowSubscriptionDetails parameter for detailed subscription info.
  • Enhanced Get-HPECOMServer -ShowServersWithRecentSupportCases output with support case counts and details.
• Invoke-HPECOMWebRequest
  • Dynamically adjusts JSON conversion depth based on response size for better performance.
• Get-HPEGLSubscription
  • Added -ShowAssignedServers to list servers tied to a subscription key.
• Get-HPEGLLocation
  • Added -ShowServers to display servers assigned to a location.
• Invoke-HPECOMGroupInternalStorageConfiguration
  • Now supports volume name renaming.
• New-HPEGLWorkspace
  • Defaults to creating workspaces with the latest IAMv2 (Identity and Access Management) and organizational governance.
  • Added -EnableIAMv1Workspace switch for legacy IAMv1 compatibility.
• Connect-HPEGLDeviceComputeiLOtoCOM
  • Added -RemoveExistingiLOProxySettings to clear outdated proxy or Secure Gateway configurations.
  • Removed -SerialNumber parameter; now auto-retrieves from iLO for simplicity.
  • Introduced wait periods post-proxy changes to ensure reliable iLO-to-COM connections.
  • Enhanced output with detailed status updates on proxy modifications and connection progress.
  • Improved verbose logging by masking iLO passwords for added security.
• Broad performance and reliability enhancements across various cmdlets.

Module Restructuring

• Refactored into nested submodules to boost performance, maintainability, and modularity.
• Previously, a monolithic .psm1 file complicated maintenance, debugging, and extensions while risking scoping issues.
• Benefits include easier dependency management, clearer code organization, and streamlined future updates—no breaking changes.

Cmdlets Migrated to Public APIs

• Add-HPEGLDeviceToService and Remove-HPEGLDeviceFromService
• Add-HPEGLSubscriptionFromDevice and Remove-HPEGLSubscriptionFromDevice
• Get-HPEGLDevice (partial migration)

These updates leverage stable public APIs for improved reliability and future-proofing.

Cmdlets Removed

• Get-HPECOMSustainabilityReport
• New-HPECOMSustainabilityReport

These have been replaced by AI-driven insights cmdlets: Get-HPECOMSustainabilityInsights, Get-HPECOMMetricsConfiguration, Enable-HPECOMMetricsConfiguration, and Disable-HPECOMMetricsConfiguration.

Cmdlets Renamed

• Get-HPEGLServiceResourceRestrictionPolicyFilter → Get-HPEGLServiceResourceRestrictionPolicy
  • Renamed for clarity; retrieves resource restriction policies for HPE GreenLake services, including applied policy details.
