    Hi Scott , I did that with API V2. $global:authentification = Get-Credential $baie_purestoa1 = Connect-Pfa2Array -EndPoint array_name -Credential $authentification and after, you can use by example : Get-Pfa2Volume -Array $baie_purestoa1

    Hi Scott - currently, the FlashArray API only allows for a plain text string for the password field. I am working with the API folks to understand why that is, but also see if we can possibly get it changed in the future. I also put in an RFE for the SDK to see if our crafty developers could come up with a way to do it outside of the API. Doubtful, but I still asked.

    Everything that is passed between the SDK (except for the CLI cmdlet) is encrypted inside the TLS transport, so effectively, the password is not transmitted in plain text.

    Thanks, we are still updating off of some 5.x code so I don't know if API V2 will work on them all but great to know for future use.
