Security

Hi,

I have been working for several months on a Powershell module that uses the ClearPass REST API.

This module is available on psgallery(.com) : https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerArubaCP/

Actually, we support to connect to HTTPS using Token API

and configure the following feature :

•  NetworkDevice (NAS) : Add / Get / Set /Remove
• ...

it is very easy to use (and install)

Launch powershell command line and laucnh following command for install

Install-Module PowerArubaCP

for load the module

Import-Module PowerArubaCP

Connect to your ClearPass

Connect-ArubaCP 192.0.2.1 -token aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

for example to get all Network Device (Nas)

Get-ArubaCPNetworkDevice

You can get the list of command available via

Get-Command -Module PowerArubaCP

 and for get help (and example about a command for example Add-ArubaCPNetworkDevice)

Get-Help Add-ArubaCPNetworkDevice -Full

More documentation, example is available on https://github.com/PowerAruba/PowerArubaCP and you can also report issue/enhance !

Thank you so much for creating this. I think it will be quite useful.

A question about syntax. I am trying to set a password for a local user account and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the syntax correct. I am trying: 

Invoke-ArubaCPRestMethod -method "patch" -uri "api/local-user/3001" -body "{'password': 'NewPass123'}"

But PS always returns:

WARNING: The ClearPass API sends an error message:
WARNING: Error description (code): Internal Server Error (500)
WARNING: Error details: {"type":"http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html","title":"Internal Server

Unable to use ClearPass API
At C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PowerArubaCP\Private\RestMethod.ps1:64 char:13
+ throw "Unable to use ClearPass API"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (Unable to use ClearPass API:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Unable to use ClearPass API

From the error, it would appear that the API is expecting an array in the body, but I've tried specifying multiple parameters in comma delimited format but still get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
