Connect-JobScheduler

SYNOPSIS

Connects to the JobScheduler JOC Cockpit Web Service.

...

Connect-JobScheduler [-Url] <Uri> [[-Credentials] <PSCredential>] [[-Id] <String>] [-AskForCredentials] [-UseDefaultCredentials] [[-ProxyUrl] <Uri>] [[-ProxyCredentials] <PSCredential>] [-ProxyUseDefaultCredentials] [[-Base] <String>] [[-Timeout] <Int32>] [[-SSLProtocol] <String>] [[-Certificate] <X509Certificate2>] [[-CertificateThumbprint] <String>] [[-KeyStorePath] <String>] [[-AddRootCertificate] <String>] [-SkipCertificateCheck] [-MasterDetails] [<CommonParameters>]

...

-Url <Uri>
Specifies the URL to access the Web Service.

Credentials

-Credentials <PSCredential>
Specifies a credentials object that is used to authenticate the account with the JobScheduler Web Service.

Credentials can be specified in a script:

* PS C:\> $credential = ( New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList 'root', ( 'root' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force) )

Credentials sets can be managed with Windows built-in tools such as:

* PS C:\> cmdkey /generic:JobScheduler Web Service /user:root /pass:secret
* The Windows Credential Manager that is available Windows Control Panel.

A previously created credentials set can be retrieved by use of the cmdlet:

* PS C:\> $credentials = Get-JobSchedulerSystemCredentials -TargetName "JobScheduler Web Service"

The credentials object can be assigned the -Credentials parameter.

Id

-Id <String>
Specifies the ID of a JobScheduler Master that was used during installation of the product.
If no ID is specified then the first JobScheduler Master registered with JOC Cockpit will be used.

AskForCredentials

-AskForCredentials <SwitchParameter>
Specifies that the user is prompted for the account and password that are used for authentication with JobScheduler.

UseDefaultCredentials

-UseDefaultCredentials <SwitchParameter>
This parameter currently is not used. It is provided for future versions of JOC Cockpit that support single sign on.

ProxyUrl

-ProxyUrl <Uri>
If JOC Cockpit is accessed via a proxy server then the proxy server URL is specified with this parameter.

ProxyCredentials

-ProxyCredentials <PSCredential>
If JOC Cockpit is accessed via a proxy server that requires authentication then the credential set
for the proxy server can be specified with this parameter.

ProxyUseDefaultCredentials

-ProxyUseDefaultCredentials <SwitchParameter>
This parameter currently is not used. It is provided for future versions of JOC Cockpit that support single sign on.

Base

-Base <String>
The Base is used as a prefix to the Path for web service URLs and is configured with the web server
that hosts the JobScheduler Web Service.

This value is fixed and should not be modified for most use cases.

Default: /joc/api

Timeout

-Timeout <Int32>
Specifies the timeout to wait for the JOC Cockpit Web Service response.

SSLProtocol

-SSLProtocol <String>
This parameter can be used to specify the TLS protocol version that should be used. The protocol version is agreed
on between the JOC Cockpit web server and the PowerShell client. Both server and client have to identify a common
protocol version.

* -SSLProtocol 'Tls'
** use any TLS protocol version available
* -SSLProtocol 'Tls12'
** use TLS protocol version 1.2 only
* -SSLProtocol 'Tls11,Tls12'
** use TLS protocol version 1.1 or 1.2 only

Certificate

-Certificate <String>
This parameter currently is not used. It is provided for future releases of JOC Cockpit
that support client authentication certificates.
The certificate specified with this parameter replaces the account/password specified during login. <X509Certificate2>

This parameter can be used for client authentication if JOC Cockpit is configured for mutual authentication with HTTPS (SSL).
If JOC Cockpit is configured to accept one-factor authentication then the certificate specified with this parameter replaces
the password for login. If JOC Cockpit requires two-factor authentication then a certificate is required in addition to specifying a password for login.

Consider that this parameter expects a certificate with the data type [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2].
This parameter can be used for Windows only. For other operating systems use the -KekyStorePath parameter.

Use of this parameter requires that the certificate object includes the private key and the certificate chain, i.e. the certificate
and any intermediate/root certificates required for validation of the certificate.

This parameter cannot be used with the -CertificateThumbprint parameter or -KeyStorePath parameter.

CertificateThumbprint

-CertificateThumbprint <String>

This parameter can be used for client authentication if JOC Cockpit is configured for mutual authentication with HTTPS (SSL).
If JOC Cockpit is configured to accept one-factor authentication then the certificate identified with this parameter replaces
the password for login. If JOC Cockpit requires two-factor authentication then a certificate is required
in addition to specifying a password for login.

This parameter can be used for Windows only. For other operating sysems use the -KekyStorePath parameter.

Use of this parameter requires a certificate store to be in place that holds the private key and certificate chain, i.e. the same certificate
and any intermediate/root certificates required for validation of the certificate. Consider this parameter a reference
to a certificate entry in your Windows certificate store that includes the private key and certificate chain.

This parameter cannot be used with the -Certificate parameter or -KeyStorePath parameter.

KeyStorePath

-KeyStorePath <String>

This parameter can be used for client authentication if JOC Cockpit is configured for mutual authentication with HTTPS (SSL).
If JOC Cockpit is configured to accept one-factor authentication then the certificate from the keystore specified with this parameter replaces
the password for login. If JOC Cockpit requires two-factor authentication then a certificate is required
in addition to specifying a password for login.

This parameter expects the path to a keystore file, preferably a PKCS12 keystore, that holds the private key and certificate chain, i.e. the certificate
and any intermediate/root certificates required for validation of the certificate. Certificates of type X509 are supported.

The cmdlet adds the private key, certificate and any intermediate/root certificates from the keystore to the certificate store
used by the current account. This parameter can be used for Windows and Unix operating systems.

This parameter cannot be used with the -Certificate parameter or -CertificateThumbprint parameter.

...

-AddRootCertificate <String>
Specifies the location of a file that holds the root certificate that was when signing the JOC Cockpit
SSL certificate.

* For Windows environments the root certificate by default is looked up in the Windows Certificate Store, however,
this parameter can be used to apply a root certificate from a location in the file system.
* For Linux environments a path is specified to the root certificate file.

SkipCertificateCheck

-SkipCertificateCheck <SwitchParameter>
Specifies that the JOC Cockpit SSL certificate will not be checked, i.e. the identify of the JOC Cockpit instance is not verified.

Use of this parameter is strongly discouraged with secure environments as it trusts a JOC Cockpit SSL certificate without verification.

MasterDetails

-MasterDetails <SwitchParameter>
Returns details about each Master such as host, port, active role etc.
The details are provided with the "Masters" data structure in the response.
