Prerequisites

Your system must include the following:

Verify the Version

Verify the version of the host using the following command.

Log into REST

Login using a public signed certificate (untested)

### Load the Certificate x509
$CertPathDer = "C:\Users\plessisa\Desktop\Rest\Cert.der"
$certDer = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2($CertPath)

### Login
$BodyValue = "Username=restuser&Password=restpass"

$url = "https://134.56.226.215/rest/login"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Certificate $certDer -Method Post -Body $BodyValue -SessionVariable ps 

Login without certificate

### Allow self Sign Cert
add-type @"
    using System.Net;
    using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
    
    public class IDontCarePolicy : ICertificatePolicy {

Scripting with REST

Basic Handler (PUT, POST, GET, DELETE)

Function BasicHandler {
    Param($ResultIn)
    [xml]$XmlResultIn = $ResultIn.Substring(5)
    if($XmlResultIn.root.status.http_code.contains("200")) {
        return "Success"
    } else {
        return "Error Code:<"+$XmlResultIn.root.status.app_status.app_status_entry.code+"> Param:<"+$XmlResultIn.root.status.app_status.app_status_entry.params+">"
    }
}

####### Expected
PS C:> BasicHandler $Result
Success
or
Error Code:<20013> Param:<8|SIPServerTable>

Content Handler (GET)

[xml]$FinalResult= $Result.Substring(5)

####### Expected Result
PS C:> $FinalResult.root.sipservertable.Description
Default SIP TOTO
