400 bad request when using Qlik-CLI

[ryanplkam]

Hello all,

I am trying to query for all users with a custom attribute called "professional" = true, using Qlik-CLI 

I am able to connect successfully, using certificates. 

The command is as follows:

get-qlikuser -filter "professional eq true" -full

This produces the following error message:

Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Qlik-Cli\1.19.1\functions\core.ps1:63 char:19

mmand

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you!

You're trying to filter on a custom property named professional, yes? If so then this would be the syntax:

Get-QlikUser -full -filter "@professional eq 'true'"

If not, then what is this attribute? A user attribute like a group? Something else?

@Levi_Turner it is an attribute we've pulled in through SQL ODBC connector, like 'email' in this example

Running your code does not produce an error, so I assume it's working. However when I try to view the result nothing appears:

$professionalattributeusers = Get-QlikUser -full -filter "@professional eq 'true'"
Write-Output $professionalattributeusers

Even though in QMC, I can see two users with this attribute = true.

Not sure if i'm still doing something wrong..

@Levi_Turner I figured it out, this is what I needed.

$professionalattributeusers = Get-QlikUser -full -filter "attributes.attributeType eq 'professional' and attributes.attributeValue eq 'true'"
Write-Output $professionalattributeusers

Thanks!
