12/13/2024, 2:20 PM401 means you're not properly authenticated.
Did you generate the bearer token first?

12/13/2024, 2:22 PMYes per the online doc, I have tried user:pass as well as powershell get-credential to then:
Copy code
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($adminCredentical)
$EncodedAdminCredentical = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)s

12/13/2024, 2:27 PMhow does look your Invoke-RestMethod to get the bearer token if I may?

$requestUri = "https://<server>/cvad/manage/me"
$headers = @{
"Accept" = "application/json";
"Authorization" = "CWSAuth Bearer=$EncodedAdminCredentical";
"Citrix-CustomerId" = "CitrixOnPremises";
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $requestUri -Method GET -Headers $headerss

Bearer token is not $EncodedAdminCredentical. It's the response from another API Call:
$requestTokenUri = "https://<server>/cvad/manage/Tokens"
$headers = @{
"Accept" = "application/json";
"Authorization" = "Basic $EncodedAdminCredentical";
}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $requestTokenUri -Method POST -Headers $headers
Write-host ($response | ConvertFrom-Json)

12/13/2024, 3:01 PMThis is the bearer token to use in your powershell script.
