Connecting to Confluence with API key and ConfluencePS

Brendan

I am trying to connect to my company's confluence space by using the ConfluencePS but I cannot seem to authenticate my account.

I have created an PAT on both Atlassian.net and directly on the Data Center that Confluence is hosted on. Neither seem to work.

The URI is set up in the format "https://confl.CompanyName.com".

The code I am using to attempt to connect is shown below.

Import-Module ConfluencePS
$Username = 'first.last@mycompany.com'
$Password = 'full_token_string' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force

$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($Username,$Password)

Set-ConfluenceInfo -BaseURI 'https://confl.CompanyName.com' -Credential $Credentials

Get-ConfluenceSpace -SpaceKey '####'

When this runs, I receive back a 401: UNAUTHORIZED error

I've also tried for the password, the token name, the Atlassian token, the password to my account, the token on the data center. I can't seem to find what is expecting.

Can ConfluencePS work on Data Center based Confluence pages? How can I go about using this?

@Brendan ,

You can try first if Authentication works using other method like CURL or HTTPIE or Postman, etc. just to be sure that the user/password and the encoded password work. For authentication you can use headers as { "Authentication": "Basic {base64encodedPassword}"}.

Powershell simple GET to check auth:

<span>$cred</span> = Get-Credential
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri <span>'<a href="https://confl.companyname.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://confl.CompanyName.com/rest/api/content</a>'</span> -Credential <span>$cred</span>

Invoke-WebRequest -Method Get -Uri 'https://confl.CompanyName.com/rest/api/content' -Authentication Basic

other clis:

https -a user:pass https://confl.CompanyName.com/rest/api/content

curl -X user:pass https://confl.CompanyName.com/rest/api/content

https -a user:pass https://confl.CompanyName.com/rest/api/content

Thanks for the answer, it seems like I am able to reach the API when using the Invoke-WebRequest or curl methods but when I try to do anything with the ConfluencePS module, I still am seeing the 401 error. Image attached for reference.

@Brendan ,

It needs more deep debugging of what is the cause in code. Maybe it would be better to contact the team of ConfuencePS:

Thanks for all the help. I have posted within there. If I find an answer I will be sure to post it here.
