How to create a credentialcache object in powershell

Question

_{Friday, March 23, 2012 11:27 PM}

Hi,

I want to use powershell to create CredentialCache and add credentil to it.

[System.Net.CredentialCache]$credentialCache = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache
$credential = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
$credentialCahe.Add("http://...", "Negotiate", $credential)

However, the first line $credentialCache is $null. What is missing?

Thanks.

Sorry for the typo in my post. But it was not the problem.

[System.Net.CredentialCache]$c = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache

$c

Nothing print out.

It doesn't print anything but object is already created. To confirm the same run following commnd:

[System.Net.CredentialCache]$c = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache
GM -InputObject $c

I guess you are trying to provide proxy details to send web request or to send mail. If that is the case you may find following links helpful.

I think there is typo for $credentialCache variable :)

Check variable name in your last line of the script. I guess it shold as below.

[System.Net.CredentialCache]$credentialCache = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache
$credential = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
$credentialCache.Add("http://...", "Negotiate", $credential)
