HOWTO: Access Pleasant Password Server Passwords via RESTful API

Yea I noticed the password is not returned with this too. But it does make sense. Please note I have not neatened the script yet but this is where I have got to so far. The search variable used needs to be specific enough to return one item as I have not put any thing in place yet to deal with multiple values returned.

Also once it returns the details it just prints them to the screen as again I have not taken this any further yet. When I actually use this in a script I will update with improvements. But for now this should get anyone doing they will just need to manipulate the script a little. I used a VB input box for convenience probably should be a .net one if this is actually going to be used.

$KeepassURL = “https://URL TO KEEPASS”
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(‘Microsoft.VisualBasic’) | Out-Null

Function ConnectToKeePass
{
$Cred = Get-Credential -Message “Enter your credentials to access Keepass Server”
$tokenParams = @{
grant_type=’password’;
username=$Cred.UserName;
password=$Cred.GetNetworkCredential().password;
}
$JSON = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri “$KeepassURL/OAuth2/Token” -Method POST -Body $tokenParams -ContentType “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
$Token = (ConvertFrom-Json $JSON.Content).access_token
$headers = @{
“Accept” = “application/json”
“Authorization” = “$Token”
}
Return $headers
}

Function Get-KeepassPassword($headers,[string]$CredentialID)
{
$Password = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri “$KeepassURL/api/v4/rest/credential/$CredentialID/password” -Headers $headers -Method Get -ContentType ‘application/json’
Return $Password
}

Function SearchKeePass($Headers,$bodyinput)
{
$body = @{
“search” = $bodyinput
}
$Result = New-Object System.Object
$Search = Invoke-RestMethod -method post -Uri “$KeepassURL/api/v4/rest/search” -body (ConvertTo-Json $body) -Headers $headers -ContentType ‘application/json’
$password = Get-KeepassPassword $Headers $Search.Credentials.id
$Result | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name “Username” -Value $Search.Credentials.username
$Result| Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name “password” -Value $Password
Return $result
}

#Script Entry point

$searchstring = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox(“Enter the search term here”, “Keepass Search Variable”, “”)
$Searchaccount = SearchKeePass (ConnectToKeePass) $searchstring
write-host ($Searchaccount|Out-String)

HI,

This is wonderful script and worked really as expected. I need to develop the script further and after searching the “username and password” of the server in PPS, I generated a random password using the following script :

function Generate-Password {
$alphabets= “abcdefghijklmnopqstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#%^*”

$char = for ($i = 0; $i -lt $alphabets.length; $i++) { $alphabets[$i] }

for ($i = 1; $i -le 16; $i++)
{
Write-host -nonewline $(get-random $char)
if ($i -eq 16) { write-host `n }
}
}
$pass = Generate-Password

Now,

I want to update the old password of the “searched” server with this newly generated password ( $pass) .

I tried using the following script for the same :

Function UpdatePassword
{
$body1 = @{
‘id’ = “953E46C8981B444282977C7D0C1A714C”
‘oldpassword’= $password
‘newpassword’=$pass
}

$update= Invoke-RestMethod -Uri “$KeepassURL/$Search.Credentials.username” -Headers $headers -Method Put -Body $body1 -ContentType “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”

}

But this extension to the script does not seem to update the password. Any ideas how should I proceed with it.
