Login from PowerShell the Solarwind API

Here's my profile (the IP address is not real):

When I start PowerShell, I get the expected login dialog:

I enter the right credentials but I get the following error message:

I tried my best to troubleshoot to no avail.

When using my web browser, the IP address and these same credentials, I access my Orion server with no problem.

My profile file is the sample I get from watching Automation and the SolarWinds API - SolarWinds Lab #8 on Youtube.

What do I need to change?

Please help.

Thanks

You have a typo.

$swis = Connect-Swis –Credential – Screds –Hostname 10.10.100.169

Try:

$swis = Connect-Swis –Credential $creds –Hostname 10.10.100.169

That worked!
