Hi,
I am working on automating a script to do an Odata query from Citrix Monitor Data API. I have been able to successfully create a script using Invoke-RestMethod -uri -credentials .
However, this prompts me for the specific credentials - which once entered works perfectly as expected.
The plan is to automate this script through task scheduler and have it run every month and create the report. When I remove the “-credential” parameter from the command & use “Run As” to launch the script - it ends up giving me an Unauthorized (401) error.
I understand that there is a way to store the encrypted password in a file using “ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force” command. However, due to security concerns I am not comfortable using this method.
Is there a different way to have the credentials automatically fed to the script to have it run automatically every month?
Any guidance will be appreciated!
