Connect-BeInstance

Connects the PowerShell session to a BiG EVAL intance.

Connect-BeInstance
    -ServerUrl <String>
    -ClientId <String>
    -ClientSecret <String>
    [-InstanceName <String>]
    [-ApiVersion <String>]

Description

The Connect-BeInstance cmdlet connects the current session to a specific BiG EVAL instance. To do that, it needs at least the URL of the BiG EVAL instance in the ServerUrl parameter as well as the OAuth 2.0 authentication parameters ClientId and ClientSecret. These authentication parameters can be obtained in the system-setting section of BiG EVAL. See Managing API Clients.

When connected, the cmdlet returns a connection-object that contains information about the connection and that must be passed to each of the other cmdlets for authorization.

Example

$serverUrl = "https://bigeval.mycompany.com/"
$clientId = "f85eb6171a4e077b56022e892e5cd941"
$clientSecret = "83b29028cd7e4a8392b861462b62d038"

$connection = Connect-BeInstance -ServerUrl $serverUrl -ClientId $clientId -ClientSecret $clientSecret
