feat: add pscredential and securestring

[erikgraa]

Summary

Enhanced Request-VCFToken and Connect-CloudBuilder by adding a PSCredential parameter set and adding support for SecureString for the Password parameter.

I've tested the following:

SDDC Manager

Request-VCFToken -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName [email protected] -Password <plainTextPassword>

Connects using password provided as a string.

$secureString = Read-Host -AsSecureString 'Password'
Request-VCFToken -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName [email protected] -Password $secureString

Connects using password provided via a SecureString.

Request-VCFToken -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName [email protected]

Will ask for a SecureString as password.

$credential = Get-Credential
Request-VCFToken -Fqdn <fqdn> -Credential $credential

Will connect using the PSCredential variable.

Request-VCFToken -Fqdn <fqdn>

Will ask for a PSCredential (username/password).

Cloud Builder

Connect-CloudBuilder -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName admin -Password <plainTextPassword>

Connects using password provided as a string.

$secureString = Read-Host -AsSecureString 'Password'
Connect-CloudBuilder -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName admin -Password $secureString

Connects using password provided via a SecureString.

Connect-CloudBuilder -Fqdn <fqdn> -UserName admin

Will ask for a SecureString as password.

$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-CloudBuilder -Fqdn <fqdn> -Credential $credential

Will connect using the PSCredential variable.

Connect-CloudBuilder -Fqdn <fqdn>

Will ask for a PSCredential (username/password).
