Invoke-WebRequest with digest

See original GitHub issue

We have a script that runs just fine on Powershell 5, but when executing on devops agenst running ubuntu and powershell core 7.1 it always fails with a 401 Error.

$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString $MongoAtlasApiKeyPrivate -AsPlainText -Force
$Credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($MongoAtlasApiKeyPublic, $Password)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $MongoAtlasApiUrl -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Credential $Credentials -Body $json

It’s trying to callt he mongo atlas api, which according to mongo’s documentation requires digest authentictaion. However I couldn’t find anything mentioning digest with Invoke-WebRequest. Onlny Oauth and other auth methods, but nothing about digest. Is it just no possible anymore since PWSH 6/7?

This is the corresponding mongo documentation: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/whitelist-add-one

@iSazonov I think we can close, the issue underlying with dotnet was fixed, It works correctly in PS7.3.2 Test:

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'password' -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ('user', $password)
Invoke-WebRequest "https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/password" -Credential $credential
