Cisco Unity Connection API - Powershell

SomethingWitty

I'm working on a script to connect to the Cisco Unity Connection API via PowerShell to reset a user's VM pin.  I can get the ObjectID just fine but for whatever reason I can't get it to work to reset the VM pin.

 

$Username = ''

$Password = ''

$PIN = '1234'

$EncodedAuthorization = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Username + ':' + $Password)

$EncodedPassword = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($EncodedAuthorization)

$Headers = @{

    Authorization = "BASIC $($EncodedPassword)"

    Accept        = 'application/json'

}
$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://IP/vmrest/users/?query=(alias is ALIAS)' -Headers $Headers

$objectid = $r.User.ObjectId

$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://IP/vmrest/users/OBJECTID/credential/pin

' -Method 'Put' -Headers $headers

$response

I've also tried:

$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://IP/vmrest/users/OBJECTID/credential/pin?PIN=1234' -Method 'PUT' -Headers $headers

I'd appreciate any guidance here.

 

TIA

AFAIK the new pin needs to be in a JSON body.  Got it to work for me like this:

$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "ciscopsdt" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential ('Administrator', $pwd)
$body = '{"Credentials": "123456"}'
$response = Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method PUT `
    -ContentType 'application/json' `
    -Body $body `
    -Credential $cred `
    -Uri https://ds-cuc115.cisco.com/vmrest/users/72fdd871-aed5-435c-bde4-836659da4461/credential/pin `
