How to set password in Domain Group

Disabled

Published 7 years ago

Hi.

I try create new Domain Group with data like in attached picture.
I can set domain name, domain user:

$s = New-RDMSession -Type "Group" -Name "PROD"
$s.GroupDetails.GroupType = "Domain"
$s.GroupDetails.Domain = "PROD"
$s.ActiveDirectoryConsole.UserName = "Administrator"

Is it possible to set domain password using ActiveDirectoryConsole.SafePassword property ?
I try use secure string variable with password but with no luck.
$password = "myPassword100%" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$s.ActiveDirectoryConsole.SafePassword = $password

Hello,

It is possible to set a password on any entry type using the Set-RDMSessionPassword cmdlet. Be sure that the entry is properly saved in the data source before saving a password.

[i]$s = New-RDMSession -Type "Group" -Name "PROD"
# Set all you properties here except the password
[/i][i]Set-RDMSession -Session $s -Refresh[/i]
[i]Update-RDMUI
[/i][i]$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPasswordHere" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-RDMSessionPassword -Session $s -Password $pwd -Refresh[/i]
Best regards,

Hi.

Thank you for help and instruction.
But your sample code doesn't work.

Last line of code give me error:
Set-RDMSessionPassword : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.

I found that -Refresh parameter couldn't be used with -Session parameter.

But still this sample code not work properly when I remove -Refresh parameter .

After a few attempts I found that session ID after Set-RDMSession command is changed.
So when I run:

$s = New-RDMSession -Type "Group" -Name "PROD"
# Set all you properties here except the password

Set-RDMSession -Session $s -Refresh
$s.ID

$s2 = Get-RDMSession -Name "PROD"
$s2.ID

I see that:

$s.ID <> $s2.ID

So I modified sample code to:

$s = New-RDMSession -Type "Group" -Name "PROD"
# Set all you properties here except the password
Set-RDMSession -Session $s -Refresh
Update-RDMUI

$s = Get-RDMSession -Name "PROD"
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPasswordHere" -AsPlainText -Force
Set-RDMSessionPassword -Session $s -Password $pwd

But this still don't change password for Folder :)

I think that this is kind of bug because I tried the second version of Set-RDMSession command with -ID parameter:

$s = New-RDMSession -Type "Group" -Name "PROD"
# Set all you properties here except the password
Set-RDMSession -Session $s -Refresh
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "YourPasswordHere" -AsPlainText -Force

$s = Get-RDMSession -Name "PROD"
Set-RDMSessionPassword -ID $s.ID -Password $pwd -Refresh
Update-RDMUI

And this code works ! When I check PROD folder properties Reveal Password option shows me: YourPasswordHere

Please:
1) check why Set-RDMSession -Session command couldn't change password

2) add some note to Set-RDMSession help page that this command should be use afterSet-RDMSession command.
