Usage

Logo

Authenticate

Everything begins with a Logon:

To submit a logon request to the CyberArk API, use the psPAS New-PASSession command.

All subsequent operations are carried out by psPAS utilises the input data provided for the New-PASSession request (URL, Certificate), as well as data received from the API after successful authentication (Authentication Token, PVWA Version).

CyberArk Authentication

  • Use a PowerShell credential object containing a valid vault username and password.
$cred = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: safeadmin
Password for user safeadmin: **********


New-PASSession -Credential $cred -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com

LDAP Authentication

  • Specify LDAP credentials allowed to authenticate to the vault.
$cred = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: xApprover_1
Password for user xApprover_1: **********


New-PASSession -Credential $cred -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com -type LDAP

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName    Source UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
--------    ------ ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
xApprover_1 LDAP   EPVUser      False     False   False    False

RADIUS Authentication

$cred = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: DuoUser
Password for user DuoUser: **********


New-PASSession -Credential $cred -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com -type RADIUS -OTP 123456

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName Source UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
-------- ------ ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
DuoUser  LDAP   EPVUser      False     False   False    False

SAML Authentication

SAML SSO authentication using IWA and ADFS can be performed

New-PASSession -BaseURI $url -SAMLAuth

Where IWA SSO is not possible, the PS-SAML-Interactive module can be used to get the SAMLResponse from an authentication service.

The SAMLResponse received from the IdP is sent to complete saml authentication to the API.

import-module -name 'C:\PS-SAML-Interactive.psm1'

$loginURL = 'https://company.okta.com/home/app1/0oa11xddwdzhvlbiZ5d7/aln1k2HsUl5d7'
$baseURL = 'https://pvwa.mycompany.com'

$loginResponse = New-SAMLInteractive -LoginIDP $loginURL

New-PASSession -SAMLAuth -concurrentSession $true -BaseURI $baseURL -SAMLResponse $loginResponse

Certificate Authentication

  • Where PVWA/IIS requires client certificates, 'psPAS' will use any specified certificates for the duration of the session.

PKI Authentication Example:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security
# Get Valid Certs
$MyCerts = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2[]](Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My)
# Select Cert
$Cert = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2UI]::SelectFromCollection(
    $MyCerts,
    'Choose a certificate',
    'Choose a certificate',
    'SingleSelection'
) | select -First 1

New-PASSession -Credential $cred -BaseURI $url -type PKI -Certificate $Cert

Shared Authentication Example:

$Cert = "0E199489C57E666115666D6E9990C2ACABDB6EDB"
New-PASSession -UseSharedAuthentication -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com -CertificateThumbprint $Cert

Shared Services Authentication

Privilege Cloud Shared Services authentication flows require the pspete IdentityCommand module, available from the Powershell Gallery & GitHub.

Identity User

Provide Identity User credentials and tenant details for authentication to CyberArk Identity for Privilege Cloud Shared Services:

#using URL
New-PASSession -IdentityTenantURL https://SomeTenantName.id.cyberark.cloud -PrivilegeCloudURL https://SomeTenant.privilegecloud.cyberark.cloud -Credential $Cred -IdentityUser
#using subdomain
New-PASSession -TenantSubdomain SomeTenantName -Credential $Cred -IdentityUser
Service User

Provide tenant ID and non-interactive API User credentials for authentication via CyberArk Identity for Privilege Cloud Shared Services:

New-PASSession -TenantSubdomain YourPrivilegeCloudTenantID -Credential $ServiceUserCreds -ServiceUser

Consult the vendor documentation for guidance on setting up a dedicated API Service user for non-interactive API use.

Bulk Operations

The standard features of PowerShell which allow creation of and iterations through collections of objects, can be used to perform bulk operations:

Example 1 - On-board Multiple Accounts
$Accounts = Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\Accounts.csv

New-PASSession -Credential $creds -BaseURI https://your.pvwa.url

foreach($Account in $Accounts){

    $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $Account.Password -AsPlainText -Force

    Add-PASAccount -secretType Password `
    -secret $Password `
    -platformAccountProperties @{"LOGONDOMAIN"=$Account.LogonDomain} `
    -SafeName $Account.SafeName `
    -PlatformID $Account.PlatformID `
    -Address $Account.Address `
    -Username $Account.Username

}

Close-PASSession
Example 2 - Delete Multiple Safes
#Specify Vault Logon Credentials
$LogonCredential = Get-Credential

#Logon
New-PASSession -Credential $LogonCredential -BaseURI https://your.pvwa.url

$Safes = Get-PASSafe -search TestSafe

#Delete Safes
foreach ($Safe in $Safes){

  Remove-PASSafe -SafeName $Safe.SafeName -WhatIf

}

#Logoff
Close-PASSession
Example 3 - Move a List of Users to a New Location
#Vault Logon Credentials
$LogonCredential = Get-Credential

#Logon
New-PASSession -Credential $LogonCredential -BaseURI https://your.pvwa.url

#get list of users
$users = Get-Content .\userlist.txt

#move users
$users | foreach{

  Set-PASUser -UserName $_ -Location "\New\Location\Path" -WhatIf

}

#Logoff

Using Methods

Methods present on objects returned from psPAS functions can be leveraged to get the data you need with ease.

  • The psPAS.CyberArk.Vault.Safe object returned by Get-PASSafe has a ScriptMethod (SafeMembers()), which will run a query for the members of the safe:
#List all safes where AppUser is not a member
Get-PASSafe | Where-Object{ ($_.safemembers() | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UserName) -notcontains "AppUser"}
  • Retrieved credentials can be immediately converted into Secure Strings or into a PsCredential object:
#Returns a Secure String
(Get-PASAccount -id 330_5 | Get-PASAccountPassword).ToSecureString()

#Returns a PsCredential Object
(Get-PASAccount -id 330_5 | Get-PASAccountPassword).ToPsCredential()

#Returns a PsCredential Object with a custom username (to include a domain for example)
(Get-PASAccount -id 330_5 | Get-PASAccountPassword).ToPsCredential("MyDomain\MyAccount")

API Sessions

  • If actions are required to be performed under the context of different user accounts, it is possible to work with different authenticated sessions:
#Start first session
$VaultAdmin = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: VaultAdmin
Password for user VaultAdmin: **********


New-PASSession -Credential $VaultAdmin -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName   Source   UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
--------   ------   ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
VaultAdmin Internal EPVUser      False     False   False    False

#Save first session data
$FirstSession = Get-PASSession

#Start second session
$SafeAdmin = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: SafeAdmin
Password for user SafeAdmin: **********


New-PASSession -Credential $SafeAdmin -BaseURI https://pvwa.somedomain.com

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName  Source   UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
--------  ------   ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
SafeAdmin Internal EPVUser      False     False   False    False

#Save second session data
$SecondSession = Get-PASSession

#Switch back to first session
Use-PASSession -Session $FirstSession

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName   Source   UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
--------   ------   ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
VaultAdmin Internal EPVUser      False     False   False    False

#End first session
Close-PASSession

#Switch to second session
Use-PASSession -Session $SecondSession

Get-PASLoggedOnUser

UserName  Source   UserTypeName AgentUser Expired Disabled Suspended
--------  ------   ------------ --------- ------- -------- ---------
SafeAdmin Internal EPVUser      False     False   False    False

#End second session

psPAS Functions

This section lists the commands available in psPAS as well as any relevant version requirements.

Depending on your version of CyberArk, different psPAS commands and parameters are available.

The most recent psPAS version should work with your particular CyberArk version and be able to be used with it.

The version requirements for certain parameters are described in greater detail in the command's documentation.

The module will take steps to verify that your version of CyberArk meets any psPAS command's minimum version requirement.

If version requirement criteria are not met, operations may be prevented.

To learn more about the parameters that may be used and the required version, consult the output of the 'Get-Help' command for the 'psPAS' functions.
