PowerShell WebServiceProxy with forms authentication - web-services

I am working on building a few interfaces with Remedy 9.1 web services. It is configured with Forms authentication to get to the WSDL. I would like to keep it in that configuration so that the more powerful web services remain protected.
I have parts of a solution, but I am not sure that they can work together, perhaps you know of a solution?
This works if I remove forms auth:
function New-ObjectFromProxy {
param($proxy, $proxyAttributeName, $typeName)
# Locate the assembly for $proxy
$attribute = $proxy | gm | where { $_.Name -eq $proxyAttributeName }
$str = "`$assembly = [" + $attribute.TypeName + "].assembly"
invoke-expression $str
# Instantiate an AuthenticationHeaderValue object.
$type = $assembly.getTypes() | where { $_.Name -eq $typeName }
return $assembly.CreateInstance($type)
}
$Now = get-date -Format G
$Q = "'System Broadcast End Date' >= """ + $Now + """"
$proxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "https://mycompany-itsm.columncloud.com/arsys/WSDL/public/servername/CFG%3ABroadcast"
$authHeader = New-ObjectFromProxy -proxy $proxy -proxyAttributeName "AuthenticationInfoValue" -typeName "AuthenticationInfo"
$authHeader.userName = "username"
$authHeader.password = "password"
$proxy.AuthenticationInfoValue = $authHeader
$Response = $proxy.GetList($Q,"","")
$Response | format-Table Broadcast_Start_Date, Broadcast_Message
However, if I move the webservice back behind the forms auth, I can get to the WSDL if I do this:
#this is the url that you want will send thae request to
$url = "https://mycompany-itsm.columncloud.com/arsys/servlet/LoginServlet"
#here you can set your POST params
$parameters = "username=username&pwd=ppaasswwoorrdd&encpwd=1&ipoverride=0&initialState=-1&timezone=-28800000&goto=/arsys/WSDL/protected/servername/HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS"
#creating the xmlHtpp system object
$http_request = New-Object -ComObject Msxml2.XMLHTTP
$http_request.open('POST', $url, $false)
#Setting required header of the request
$http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
$http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", $parameters.length)
#Assigning the params to the request
$Resp = $http_request.send($parameters)
echo $http_request.responseText
I would like to find a solution to combine these solutions together to use forms auth to get to the WSDL and create a webServiceProxy object. Perhaps my google-fu is weak, but I have not found a formsauth solution for new-webserviceProxy.

Origin code from POSHCODE site. updated to add formsauth
Basically I had to use the way back machine to figure out how this was done before it was made super simple by new-WebServiceProxy. I fire up a web request to post with forms auth data and grab the cookie for the conversation. If my cookie expires, I go get a new one (might explain my waistline).
Huge props to Oisin Grehan for publishing his code 7 years ago.
Call it like this:
.\New-WebServiceProxy-FormsAuth.ps1 -Url "https://mycompany/WSDL/public/servername/CFG%3ABroadcast" -Namespace "mystuff" -Cookies $CookieJar -lurl "https://mycompany/servlet/LoginServlet" -postData "username=username&pwd=ppaasswwoorrdd&encpwd=1&ipoverride=0&initialState=-1&timezone=-28800000"

Export data from SP 2013 list to SQL database with comment versions

I'm trying to figure out a way to get comments from all item versions into one column in a sql table and view, but still unsuccessful.
I have listed the script I wrote below, but I can't add comments to it. Second script is light foreach loop which get comments history and add in new column in item, but this is not good solution if you have more than 10 000 items in SharePoint 2013 list.

powershell System.Collections.Generic.List[System.String] and foreach

I'm finding that I have the following Generic List, and I can see it has items in it, but when I try to run the code, it's not hitting inside the foreach. This is my code:
function SQLQueryWriteToFile([string]$SQLquery, [string]$extractFile)
{
$sqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$sqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server=blah;Database=blah;User ID=blah;Password=blah" #production #I have an error in this so it doesn't connect
$sqlConnection.Open()
if($sqlConnection.State -ne 'Open'){
$global:ErrorStrings.Add("Exception: $("Couldn't connect to DB with connection string given");; ") #this gets hit
}
###
$global:ErrorStrings = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.String] #System.Object]
$query = "Select blah"
$dir = "C:\blah"
SQLQueryWriteToFile $query $dir
$errorCodeAsString = ""
foreach ($item in $global:ErrorStrings.Members){
$errorCodeAsString += $item #this isn't hit
}
Any idea why it's not finding the error string in my list for the foreach loop, when I can see it's in there looking at $global:ErrorStrings? Based on this foreach list, I'm doing it correctly. I'm having trouble finding examples like what I'm doing. Thanks!

Powershell script to send SMTP email fails

I am attempting to use .net to send and email via powershell.
I am getting the following error:
Exception calling "Send" with "4" argument(s): "Failure sending mail."
At line:1 char:1
+ $SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SmtpException
Using the following script:
$EmailFrom = "myemail#gmail.com"
$EmailTo = "anotheremail#gmail.com"
$Subject = "test"
$Body = #"
test
"#
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 25)
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("myemail#gmail.com", "mypassword");
$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)
What could be causing this exception? Thanks!
This worked:
$EmailTo = "myself#gmail.com"
$EmailFrom = "me#mydomain.com"
$Subject = "Test"
$Body = "Test Body"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom,$EmailTo,$Subject,$Body)
$attachment = New-Object System.Net.Mail.Attachment($filenameAndPath)
$SMTPMessage.Attachments.Add($attachment)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
$SMTPClient.Send($SMTPMessage)

powershell -replace wont work when called by vba

I have a powershell script that replace some charatere from a string. The string look like this:
1234 - A Long Project Name
I need the string to replace space for underscore so it look like this: 1234_A_Long_Project_Name
This is part of my powershell code:
...
$projet = $projet -replace '\s+-\s+','_'
$projet = $projet -replace '\s+|_+','_'
...
When I run this script directly in powershell it does what I want. The problem is that I need to call the script from a VBA macro in Outlook, when a mail is received with a particular subject this macro is fired:
sText = Split(olItem.Body, vbCrLf)
Line = Split(sText(1), ":")
If Line(0) = "Projet " Then
projet = Trim(Line(1))
retval = Shell("powershell -noexit c:\script\droit.ps1 '" & projet & "'")
End If
If i run the script with the string "1234 - Long project Name" from powershell, is give me this:
1234_Long_Project_Name
When the script is fired by vba, with the same string, it return me this:
1234_-_Long_Project_Name
Anyone have an idea why it doesn't return me the same result.
Just for info, I run the script on Win 8.1, powerhsell 4 and outlook 2013.
Thank you all
Edit:
this is the powershell script:
Param([string]$projet)
function getPass2($adminName, $encrypted, $domain){
$password = convertto-securestring -string $encrypted
$Cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $domain\$AdminName,$password
$cred
}
$projet = $projet -replace '\s+-\s+','_'
$projet = $projet -replace '\s+|_+','_'
$projet = $projet -replace 'é|è|ê','e'
$projet = $projet -replace 'à','a'
$projet = $projet -replace 'ï','i'
$projet = $projet -replace 'ç','c'
$projet
$encrypted = "123"
$AdminName = "123"
$cred = getPass2 $adminName $encrypted "123"
$exist = $false
#commande for serve1
if ($cred){
$session = New-PSSession -credential $cred -ComputerName "server"
#ScriptBlock server1
$result = Invoke-command -session $session -Args $projet -ScriptBlock {
$projet = $args[0]
#folder copy
if($projet){
$SFolder = "z:\FolderTemplate\"

$FileExists = Test-Path $DFolder

{

foreach ($Folder in $SFolderList) {

$DFullPath = $DFolder + "\" + "$Folder"
$NewACL = Get-ACL "$SFullPath"
Set-ACL "$DFullPath" $NewACL
}
}

#Credentiel someserver

Copy-Item $SFolder $DFolder -recurse
$shell = New-Object -COM WScript.Shell
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut($shortcutName)
$shortcut.TargetPath = $shortcut.TargetPath + "\" + $projet
$shortcut.Description = $projet
$shortcut.Save()
$exist = $false
}
else {
$exist = $true
}
return $exist
}
Remove-PsSession -session $session
}
return $result
}
Ok I finaly found what appened. When I wrote the test mail in outlook, the line was changed by the auto correct feature of Outlook and the "-" was change by something else (dont know the charater, it look like an "-" but a little bit longer).
When I receive an autogenerated mail from my prod machin, it actually work very well.
Thank you every one for your help.
