Working with SecureString and PSCredential about child-shell

[BenjaminMichael]

Xainey did a demo on how you can ConvertTo-SecureString and pass it to a global object

Thanks for the answer. I'm using node-powershell for an automation tool and I'd like to get ride of any ps1 file.

I have the following code implemented for creating an organizational unit, but when I execute it it opens a windows dialog asking for credentials:

private getCredentialsCommandString(username: string, password: string): string {
        let command = "(New-Object -typeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentList ${username}, " +
            "(ConvertTo-SecureString ${password} -asPlainText -force))";

        return command;
    }

public async createOrganization(username: string, password: string) {
        let credentialsCommand = this.getCredentialsCommandString(username, password);
        let params = [{Name: "UIA_TestZak"}, {Path: "'OU=Workspace,DC=tdev,DC=local'"}, {Server: "10.9.26.1"},
            {Credential: credentialsCommand}, {ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion: false}];
        this.ps.addCommand("New-ADOrganizationalUnit", params);
        return await this.ps.invoke();
    }

So is there any way to execute commands with credentials without user interaction?

Yes this is something you do in PowerShell. cmdlets like Remove-ADGroupMember you can use

-Confirm:$false

example:

Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $user -Confirm:$false
