Empty response from Get-HPEiLOSSLCertificateInfo against ILO V4

[ChrisN2]

Hi,

I'm wrting a Powershell script to report the SSL certificate details from iLO's found on the network and have run into an issue with iLO V4 when requesting the certificate details. The example code below works correctly against iLO V5 but results in an empty response in $CertDetails when called against V4.

$iloConnection = Connect-HPEiLO -IP $iLOHost.IP -Username <Username> -Password <password> -DisableCertificateAuthentication

$CertDetails = Get-HPEiLOSSLCertificateInfo -Connection $iloConnection

$CertDetails | Out-Host

I'm running v3.0.0.0 of the HPEiLOCmdlets against iLO Firmware 2.7 for iLO V4 and Firmware 2.14 for iLO V5.

Has anyone experinced this issue?

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry, I missed this off my original post.

I did find this page suggesting I'm not the first to see this issue but following the suggestion to add "-OutputType RawResponse" to the end of the Get-HPEiLOSSLCertificateInfo call still results in an empty response.

Actually "-OutputType RawResponse" does work. No idea why it didn't seem to the first time. For anyone else with this issue, the code below works for a V4 iLO:

$iloConnection = Connect-HPEiLO -IP $iLOHost.IP -Username <Username> -Password <password> -DisableCertificateAuthentication

$CertDetails = Get-HPEiLOSSLCertificateInfo -Connection $iloConnection -OutputType RawResponse

$String = $CertDetails.ToString()

$Start = $String.IndexOf("Response:")+9

$String = $String.Substring($Start,$String.Length-$Start)

$jsonObj = ConvertFrom-Json $String
$CertDetails = $jsonObj.X509CertificateInformation

$CertDetails | Out-Host

Hi Chris

Glad that it did work on the second time. I hope you have no other query.

Hi Aasim,

Do you know if this is a known issue with the iLO Powersell module? If not how can I raise it as it would be good not to need the workarround?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello @ChrisN2 

You may have a support case logged for investigation if its some issue with recent release of iLo cmdlets.

I parallel you may also Explore HPE Restul API

We also have this issue with the latest PowerShell commandlets v3. This only seems to happen on Gen9 servers, with Gen10 servers it works fine.

Can you please raise this with support so it is fixed ASAP.
