QRS API with Powershell and Domain Creds

[amalsyed93]

Below is the code snippet from QRS API Documentation for powershell

$hdrs = @{}
$hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-xrfkey","12345678qwertyui")
$url = "https://servername/qrs/about?xrfkey=12345678qwertyui"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -Headers $hdrs -UseDefaultCredentials

How do we make this work with another set of domain credentials rather than using Default Credentials or Certificate? I tired the -cred parameter, wrapping them in to basic auth header, nothing works unforunately.

Anybody here has an example or suggestions?

Thanks!

Invoke-RestMethod automatically follows redirection.

however, it does not pass the supplied credentials to the redirected URL. 

In order to get around this, we need to break the automatic redirection, identify the redirection URI and authenticate against that.

$cred = Get-Credential 

$url = "https://servername/qrs/about?xrfkey=12345678qwertyui"

$Result = Invoke-WebRequest -Method Get -Uri $url -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Credential $cred -Headers $hdrs   

#Get the Auth URL
$AuthURL = $Result.Headers.Location

#Authenticate to the AuthURL, and create a SessionVariable 
$Results = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri $AuthURL -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Credential $cred -Headers $hdrs -SessionVariable AuthenticatedSession

#Subsequent requests can use the Session variable
Invoke-RestMethod -WebSession $AuthenticatedSession -Uri $URL
