Pass the credentials to connect-VIServer

Hey all,.

I give my first ride with scritping with powercli. I have currently a "script" that consists of two one liners, first line is to remove a virtual machine and the second line is to create a virtual machine from a clone. Nothing major, I know. I'm trying to understand, what I would plan this script as a Windows task and pass the credentials used to run the task to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer I at the beginning of the scipt.

Someone help a rookie?

TIA,

-Jason

Why not let the scheduled task run with this specific account?

In this way, you don't have to pass the credentials to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer, it uses the credentials of the user under which the scheduled task runs.

If the above is not possible and you must pass credentials, take a look at Hal functions PSCredential-export and import-PSCredential.

These jacks allow the use the credentials in a secure manner that pass them in clear text in your script.

  • Change the credentials to connect to vCenter

    I'm new to the VoP server and want to be sure I have some basics that I raised questions to predict in the future. We change our admin password on each server and account for all sixty days. So what I wear today in VMware connection will have to be changed during our next passwrord change management.

    What is the process to make sure that we don't lose connectivity to Ccenter? Is it possible to get the credentials of connection and change them and what to do before or after change us the password on vCenter.

    Thanks in advance for all help!

    After change password user vCenter, and then update the connection inside VoP credentials. It s important that you change Don t and the existing connection, delete and create a new. Then, you will lose all of your historical data.

  • BlackBerry - how to pass the credentials to the Web service

    I'm creating a blackberry java application. I have the Web service that is running on a server. It has a few references like username, password. I want to call this web services but not idea where can I put this identification information.

    Any idea.

    the webservice call itself requires credentials? You can generally use basic http authentication then.
    or the service method Web requires username/password? Then set you as attributes in the connection method.

  • Passing the credentials of security for default AIA policies

    We use a single server for development and an area clustered with a for testing external hardware load balancer. We have faced the problem during the migration of single server domain to the domain in cluster. Area of single server, call the basics-the author of the composite adapter read request (or communication between all composites also) didn't have all the identifications must be DISPATCHED, most likely because demand from the same server.
    In the cluster area, the request goes through the external load balancer and requests are failed by SOA server because there is no username/password attached name.
    As a solution, we put the username password in the adapter to read composite.xml and it market.
    <wsp:PolicyReference URI="oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy"
                               orawsp:category="security" orawsp:status="enabled"/>
          <property name="oracle.webservices.auth.username" type="xs:string"

                    <property name="oracle.webservices.auth.password" type="xs:string"
                    many="false" override="may">testpassword</property>
    But we do not want to hardcode the name of user and password into composite files.
    I tried to create a key identification information in the EM console and using this key in the composite.xml, but it does not work. I could have missed a configuration. What I did was to create a new key identification information under: Weblogic Domain-> domain-> Security-> credentials-> oracle.aia.security-> identification news here (aia.authentication.credentials)
    Used the name of the new credential in the composite.xml like this:
    Right click on the link to the ABC partner applicant-> configure-> added political WS oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy under the Security tab
    Published additional policy:
    Name = LCR - key
    value = Basic.Credentials
    Replace value = aia.authentication.credentials

    With these settings it still does not. Any idea what to do?

    Please try with oracle.wsm.security instead of the card oracle.aia.security card

  • Pass the credentials to the web service

    I have a form that will be sent to some people to be filled.
    This form uses web services to load or save the information in the database.
    The problem I have is that whenever you call the web service request identification information.

    There is a way to indicate the user name and password in the form (without javascript?)

    Thank you.

    There is security on the web service to fix... . If you hard code a user name and password it defeats the purpose of security. For this reason, there is no provision for this on the interfaces. Why not disable security on web service if you do not want to see the guests?

  • Connect-VIServer throws the invalid URI error in the Studio of Powershell, but is very well outdoors

    I don't know if it's a problem of Powershell Studio 2014 or PowerCLI, but other people have reported the "invalid URI: the hostname could not be parsed" error, so I'll start here.

    I have a PowerCLI 5.0.1 on Windows 7, Powershell v2.0 and Powershell Studio 2014.

    In my script, when I run the Connect-VIServer-Server $server command, the command fails and generates the invalid URI error.  However, when I run my script in the command window PowerCLI, the script works fine.

    I guess I have a problem of environment in the Studio of Powershell, but wonder what circumstances causes PowerCLI to raise this error.

    So far, I have not had much luck with Studio 2014 Powershell and PowerCLI, don't know if it's powershell v2.0 or something else.

    It looks like a Studio of Powershell environment problem.

    I have many ps1 files and use the point of supply to load the files ps1 in support which includes the call to connect-VIServer.  When I put the connect-VIServer in the file main ps1 I can connect to my vCenter, but when I put in the origin file, I cannot connect, nor can fact the fitting of test-work order.

    Thanks for the help.

    The explanantion of what you see to understand how PowerShell handles objects in the output stream.

    We'll find a very good explanation in how PowerShell formatting and output REALLY works.

    In short:

    • Connect-VIServer returns a VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.VIServerImpl object
    • There is no registered view (.ps1xml files) for this type of object
    • so out-default leans on the number of properties on the object in the stream 1
    • Connect-VIServer more than 5 properties, so off-Format applies to the Format-List
    • and all the following objects in the output stream will be displayed with Format-List

    Original title: passwords lost after reboot

    I have a user with multiple pop accounts and multiple rdp servers to which it connects

    When the laptop is connected to the domain he is allowed to save the credentials of rdp as usual and also its pop accounts work fine

    If the laptop is removed from the dock and hibernating come off hibernation works very well

    the problem starts when it restarts in fact the laptop when it is on the road.
