Re: SshPrivateKeyPassphrase and ConvertTo-SecureString

The SecureString is supported for password only, not for passphrase.

You have to decrypt the secure string yourself.

SshPrivateKeyPassphrase and ConvertTo-SecureString

When using 
SshPrivateKeyPassphrase
with a text based passphrase the powershell script works fine.
If i try to use it with: 
$sessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPassphrase = ConvertTo-SecureString


I get an error:
Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0.
