Hi,
I have a script which will connect to a VC with following command:
connect-viserver -server VCName -User username -Pasword password
Now I want to do it in a secured way so that if anyone check the script can not know the password. I know there is way to conevert the password to secure string and store in a file as mentioned below:
read-host -assecurestring | convertfrom-securestring | output-file c:\cred.txt
then I will use the contents of cred.txt file to get the password as below:
$pass = get-content c:\cred.txt | covertto-securestring
connect-viserver -server vcname -user username -password $pass
But if the password contains a special character like @ or $ then it is not getting connected to the VC with a error like incorrect username and password.
Any help will be appreciated.
