WHD 12.8.0 + API + Powershell

jraposo

Hi,

With the upgrade to 12.8.0, the Powershell code to use API to update tickets stopped working. The WHD is installed in a Windows 2012 R2 Server (yes...to be upgraded...someday)

To get the ticket detais, I've used the workaround to use curl (from curl.se) to get the details.

However, to put a tech note, the code

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $fullUrl -Method 'Post' -Body $body -Headers $header

no longer works - Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Ok... now WHD supports TLS 1.3, but the code

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "Tls12, Tls11, Tls, Ssl3"

before the Invoke-RestMethod doesn't work either.

Tried to use 

curl.exe -X POST --ca-native --json $body $fullUrl

where $body = {"noteText": "Tech Note here","jobticket": {"type": "JobTicket","id":50000}}

but curl start to interpret the json instead of passing it as arg - curl: (6) Could not resolve host: Tech (and so on...)

Bottom line:

How can I use Invoke-RestMethod or curl to update tech note on a ticket, using API (as I was on WHD 12.7.x) ?

Any help ?

Thanks

With the release of WHD12.8.0 SW dropped support for Windows Server 2012 R2 and thus a whole host of cipher suites - this does sound like the negotiation at SSL level is not being passed. You can add older ciphers back in by updating your tomcat_sever_template.xml file but that makes you into a less secure unsupported environment.
