Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null

Each time a command is executed, the following error is displayed before the command runs:

Exception calling "SecureStringToBSTR" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: s" At C:\Users\cyates\OneDrive - Company Energy\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SailPointIdentityNow\1.1.5\scripts\Get-IdentityNowAuth.ps1:167 char:5

Here is the code referenced in the error:

I've gone through and setup a new machine with the module using PowerShell 5.1. I then tested the creds using Test-IdentityNowCredentials I only set it up using a personal access token (v3 creds) so the v2 creds did fail as expected.

    $orgName = "myOrg"
    Set-IdentityNowOrg -orgName $orgName

    # IdentityNow Admin User
    $adminUSR = "identityNow_admin_User"
    $adminPWD = "idnAdminUserPassword"
    $adminCreds = [pscredential]::new($adminUSR, ($adminPWD | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force))

    # IdentityNow Personal Access Token as generated through the IdentityNow Portal and your personal identity profile preferences
    $patClientID = "yourClientID"
    $patClientSecret = "yourClientSecret"
    $patCreds = [pscredential]::new("$($patClientID)", ($patClientSecret | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force))

    Set-IdentityNowCredential -AdminCredential $adminCreds -PersonalAccessToken $patCreds
    Test-IdentityNowCredentials 

I can't reproduce your error. Can you test/validate your credentials using Test-IdentityNowCredentials

I added $patClientID and $patClientSecret to the org setup file, but I did not add values for $adminUSR and $adminPWD. Then I ran get-identitynowauth before running the following:

PS C:\temp\powershell\IdentityNow> Test-IdentityNowCredentials

APIv2 credentials not stored in IdentityNow Configuration. APIv3 credentials not stored in IdentityNow Configuration. Validated Personal Access Token. PS C:\temp\powershell\IdentityNow>

Maybe it is because I need values for $adminUSR and $adminPWD?

Thanks for your help

Hi @clyates4 v1.1.6 of the module addresses this error. It is currently in this branch which you can download an manually update your environment with. https://github.com/darrenjrobinson/powershell_module_identitynow/tree/V3API-CMDLET-Options

It also includes a number of other enhancements for changes to the IDN APIs. I'll be looking to finalise that version in the next week, merge it with Main and publish v.1.1.6 to the PowerShell Gallery.
