Invoke-WebRequest with basic authentication
Hi Guys,
I have a web service i need to get the XML returned from but it requires basic authentication, so I am needing some help on formatting the PowerShell script.
The web service has a specific method I need to call as well as to variables that I need to pass with specific values, on variable is "Datsource" and the other is "CustomerID"
Some help on getting the basic authentication added would be a great help please, i have the script working but it fails with an error 400 Bad Request.
This is what I have so far

$Datasource = 'Value'

Hi Nadav,
We are at it again :)
I have tried that, I still get error 400 bad request, the problem is that I need to use "Basic" authentication

Try this one, worked for me: (using basic iis authentication)
$url = "http://localhost/temp/default.htm"
$user = "userName"
$pass = "pass..."
$secPass = convertTo-secureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user,$secPass)
$data = Invoke-RestMethod $url -Credential $cred
$dataASKER
This is what i have just tried
The method is GetAvailableProductsw
This is the XML Payload Request required
$Datasource = 'DTH'
$CustomerID ='36526867'
$url = "http://23RNB-W4INT01/CustomerCareServiceV1.3.1/ProductService.svc/GetAvailableProducts?DataSource=$Datasource&CustomerID=$CustomerID&CustomerIDSpecified=True"
$user = "za\btgaccount"
$pass = "BTG@ccount2"
$secPass = convertTo-secureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user,$secPass)
$data = Invoke-RestMethod $url -Credential $cred
$dataThe method is GetAvailableProductsw
This is the XML Payload Request required
<Datasource>String</Datasource>
<CustomerID>0</CustomerID>
<CustomerIDSpecified>True</CustomerIDSpecified>
First try without the domain (just for the test) second if you browse to that url using internet explorer do you get a prompt for user and password? if you type this user and password does it work?
By saying without the domain I mean just the username not domain\username
Getavailableproducts is a file or virtual directory?

Hi Nadav,
Sorry for the delayed response.
You cannot open that URL normally by browsing to it. The "Getavailableproducts" is a method name which requires datasource, customerid and customeridspecified values to be passed to it.

I managed to get this worked out by changing the method i was calling and using the full method name with the endpoint
