PowerShell Connect-IMC fails with "The requested security protocol is not supported."

PowerShell Connect-IMC fails with "The requested security protocol is not supported" when run under PowerShell Core 6.0.2 (I confirmed this code works under Pwershell 5.1.14409.1012):

PS > Import-Module Cisco.Imc

PS > $handle = Connect-Imc -Name server3-IMC.local -NoSsl

cmdlet Connect-Imc at command pipeline position 1

Supply values for the following parameters:

User: admin

Password for user admin: ***********

Connect-Imc : The requested security protocol is not supported.

At line:1 char:11

+ $handle = Connect-Imc -Name server3-IMC.local -NoSsl

We are looking into this issue.  Can you let us know the version of IMC PowerTool being used and the IMC version and server model?

Hi Christopher,

Cisco UCS Powertool Suite v2.3.1.5 is not qualified to work with Powershell Core.

The release Cisco UCS PowerTool Core Suite v2.2.1 works with Powershell Core, But since this is a beta release its posted on cisco communities only, here:

https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-74217

Please let us know if you have more questions on this.

Thanks,

Amit Kumar
