Get existing password templates

Hello Timo,

You can create a new password using the password template using:

New-RDMRandomPassword -TemplateName "<your template name>"

You can also change your entry directly by using this script:

# Get the entry for which you want to generate a new the password, based on its name
$session = Get-RDMSession -Name 'sessions name here'
# Generate a new password
$password = New-RDMRandomPassword -TemplateName "<your template name>"
# Set the new password and save the modification
Set-RDMSessionPassword $session -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $password) -SetSession
# If you want to know the new password you can simply print it
$p

Let me know if this works.

Best regards,

Hi!

I know how to set the password. My problem is the "<your template name>" part, because I don't know if a template with that name exists.

At the moment I have this working solution, but I wonder if there is a method to get the existing password templates

function New-RandomPasswordFromTemplate {
    
    param (
            [Parameter(Mandatory,HelpMessage="Passwordtemplate")]
            [string] $templateName
        )
    $password = "default"
    try {
        $password = New-RDMRandomPassword -TemplateName $templateName
    }
    catch {
        $password = New-RDMRandomPassword -TemplateName "default"
    }
    return $password
}

CU,
Timo

Hello Timo,

The list should appear if you are already connected to your database.



Best regards,

This might be helpfull if I ran an interactive powershell session, but not if I ran a script with parameters.

Never mind, I figured out a working solution.
