I have a question about Credential in my xxx.ps1 file:
First:I have already connected to my vcenter, and use the following command to create the Credential in the PS shell:
New-VICredentialStoreItem -File "D:\Temp\myvc_cred.xml"
for example:
# xxx.ps1 content:
Add-PSSnapin -Name *vmware*
$vcenterip = '192.168.0.99'
$myCred = Get-VICredentialStoreItem -File 'D:\Temp\myvc_cred.xml'
Connect-VIServer $vcenterip -Credential $myCred
bu only get error when I run above commands:
Connect-VIServer : Cannot bind parameter 'Credential'. Cannot convert the "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Framework.VICredentialStoreItemImpl" value of type "VMware.
VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Framework.VICredentialStoreItemImpl" to type "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential".

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Connect-VIServer], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.ConnectVIServer
and before run above xxx.ps1 file,I also see the reference article:storing credentials for Alans vCheck script
but I haven't find the command in my PS Shell: Import-PSCredential and Export-PSCredential, the link for "Import/Export PSCredentials functions" was invalid in that reference article.
My Question:
How to Use Credential in my xxx.ps1 file?
I want to use the encrypted password to keep the password safe.
Thanks a lot!
