Invoke-Web Request Examples?

Secrets Management - Conjur, Secrets Hub & CP

Just curious if anyone has had any luck using Power-Shell to retrieve secrets? If so, it would be very helpful if I you could list some examples.

I know @AndrewCopeland worked on some Conjur x Power-Shell stuff a while back. Have you tried https://github.com/cyberark/conjur-api-powershell?

PS /Users/joegarcia> $ConjurAccount = "cyberarkdemo"

PS /Users/joegarcia> $ConjurUserPass = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: admin
Password for user admin: *********

PS /Users/joegarcia> Invoke-WebRequest -URI $URI -Authentication Basic -Credential $ConjurUserPass -Method GET

StatusCode        : 200

InputFields       : {}
Links             : {}
RawContentLength  : 55
RelationLink      : {}

Here’s a quick example I just did on how to turn in a username + password to the /login endpoint to retrieve the user’s API Key.

The secret comes in the Content key’s value in the returned response. I’ve redacted mine in the example provided.

Hey Joe,

Running into an issue with “-Authentication” not being a valid parameter, if I remove the option it states “Authorization Missing”. Any Suggestions on how to overcome?

Thank you!

If -Authentication does not work I would recommend making the Authorization header yourself.

This can be done by doing the follow:

$url = "$ConjurApplianceUrl/authn/$ConjurAccount/login"
$method = "GET"
$base64 = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $ConjurUsername, $ConjurPassword)))
$basicAuthHeader = @{"Authorization"="Basic $base64"}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method $method -Header $basicAuthHeader

Hopefully that helps.

Regards,
Andrew
