- | 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'': | + | |
