-In [[library_powershell|PowerShell]] code using [[library|WinSCP .NET library]] you can use ''[[ps>microsoft.powershell.management/get-content|Get-Content]]'' cmdlet to read an XML configuration file. +TEST 
- +HACKER
-For example with following %%XML%% configuration file (''config.xml''): +
- +
-<code xml> +
-<Configuration> +
-  <UserName>martin</UserName> +
-  <Password>mypassword</Password> +
-</Configuration> +
-</code> +
- +
-use this PowerShell code to read and use it: +
- +
-<code powershell> +
-# Read XML configuration file +
-[xml]$config = Get-Content ".\config.xml" +
- +
-# Use read credentials +
-$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{ +
-    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp +
-    HostName = "example.com" +
-    UserName = $config.Configuration.UserName +
-    Password = $config.Configuration.Password +
-+
- +
-... +
-</code> +
- +
-You can also leverage Windows Data Protection API to encrypt the password in the %%XML%% file. +
- +
-If you want to encrypt the password within the configuration file, you can use use ''[[ps>microsoft.powershell.security/convertfrom-securestring|ConvertFrom-SecureString]]'' cmdlet. Put the following code to an ad-hoc script (or an interactive PowerShell console): +
- +
-<code powershell> +
-Read-Host -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString +
-</code> +
- +
-A password encrypted this way can be decrypted by the same Windows account only. +
- +
-Store the encrypted password to the %%XML%% file instead of the plain-text one: +
- +
-<code xml> +
-<Configuration> +
-  <UserName>martin</UserName> +
-  <Password>01000000d08c9ddf0115d1118c7a00c04fc297eb01000000cf6dbc52515...</Password> +
-</Configuration> +
-</code> +
- +
-To decrypt the password, use ''[[ps>microsoft.powershell.security/convertto-securestring|ConvertTo-SecureString]]'' cmdlet and assign the resulting ''[[dotnet>system.security.securestring|SecureString]]'' to [[library_sessionoptions#securepassword|''SessionOptions.SecurePassword'']], instead of using plain text ''SessionOptions.Password'':+
