How can I update a bearer token credential via script? We have API creds with keys expiring every 24 hours. I have a command to get a new API key and I want to update the solarWinds cred with the newly generated Key

I have the same question

I looked at the documentation here: Documentation: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/Credential-Management

# Connect to the SolarWinds server
$hostname = ""
$username = ""
$password = ""
$swis = Connect-Swis -Soap12 https://$hostname/swvm/services/InformationService -Username $username -Password $password -IgnoreSslErrors



$bearer_token_credset = ""
$bearer_token_desc = ""
$bearer_token = ""

$properties = [System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]]::new()
$properties.Add("Name", $bearer_token_credset);
$properties.Add("Description", $bearer_token_desc);
$properties.Add("Token", $bearer_token);


# Define the parameters for the UpdateCredential function
$CredentialID = 201
# Call the UpdateCredential function
Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Credential UpdateCredentials @($CredentialID, $properties)

But it's giving me this error:

I figured it out! I wasn't connecting properly!

#Documentation: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/Credential-Management

# Connect to the SolarWinds server
$hostname = "{Enter server name}"
$username = "{enter username}"
$password = "{enter your password}"
$secPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($username, $secPassword)
$swis = Connect-Swis -Credential $creds -Hostname $hostname  # create a SWIS connection object

$bearer_token_credset = "{enter name of the stored credential}"
$bearer_token_desc = ""
$bearer_token = "{enter your token}"

$properties = [System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]]::new()
$properties.Add("Name", $bearer_token_credset);
$properties.Add("Description", $bearer_token_desc);
$properties.Add("Token", $bearer_token);


# Define the parameters for the UpdateCredential function
$CredentialID = {enter the id of saved credential} #int value
#you can find the ID of your saved credential in swql studio w/ this query:
##-----------------------------------------------#
#SELECT ID, Name
#FROM Orion.Credential
#WHERE Name LIKE '%{enter credential name}%'
##-----------------------------------------------#

# Call the UpdateCredential function
Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Credential UpdateCredentials @($CredentialID, $properties)
