Passing credentials

[ghost]

Hi,
I'm not very familiar with your Powershell module but it is exactly what i am looking for!

It works great so far but I have a question.
Is it possible to pass the master password to a request so that i dont have to enter it every time I do a request? I know that i could do the same thing with a Master Key but i would like to save the credetials encrypted with dapi. It looks a bit more safe than a file which grants you direct access to the database.

So a Parameter like "-Credentials" would be great.

Or maybe, I would at least aks for them once like
$KeeCred = Get-Credentials -Credentials KeePass
Get-KeePassEntry -AsPlainText -DatabaseProfileName TestDB -Credentials $KeeCred

Cheers!

Glad it is working out well for you!

Currently you can pass the the master password (called the masterkey in the context of the module) by using the -MasterKey parameter on any of the supported function calls (should be all of them where it makes sense).

Example usage:

# Create a Credential Object Variable
# this will prompt you for the master password for a scriptable usage please read the MS documentation # on the Get-Credential function
$KeeCred =  Get-Credential -Message 'MasterKey Password:' -UserName 'KeePass'

# make a call with this Credential using the secure string password
Get-KeePassEntry -AsPlainText -DatabaseProfileName TestDB -MasterKey $KeeCred.Password

Note when testing this I did find a bug; you are supposed to be able to pass a cred, or secure string to the -MasterKey parameter however for the time being only secure strings are working hence the use of the credential objects Password property in the example (-MasterKey $KeeCred.**Password**).

Will open a bug for the aforementioned issue.
