I have an automation script in PowerShell that uses both EPM Automate ("EA") and the REST calls for various steps in the process. Both need login ability to EPBCS, and I am encrypting password into files. But currently I need to do it in two places, in two different ways - for EA I am using its "encrypt" command to create "pwd.epw" file, and for the REST calls I open POSTMAN, enter credentials under Basic Authentication method, and after refreshing request I copy resulting encrypted string into appropriate control file (xml).
Is there a way to either make REST read EA's "pwd.epw", or the EA to read password from the XML node? I am sure I am not the only one mixing the two call methods in batch scripts, so please share your experiences and advice. Also note that when it comes to the programming languages I am not a programmer - I do not necessarily know the details of how something works in particular language, but I know enough to assemble it into my system to do what I need it to. So provide detailed instructions for tricky parts, please. Thanks!
