Use the PowerShell Module
To use the PowerShell Module, you must connect to the Nerdio Manager deployment using the following command:
Connect-NME -ClientId $NmeClientId -ClientSecret $NmeClientSecret -TenantId $NmeTenantId -ApiScope $NmeScope -NmeUri $NmeUri
You need to retrieve the required parameters from your Nerdio Manager deployment.
To retrieve the required parameters:
In Nerdio Manager, navigate to Settings > Integrations.
In the REST API tile, next to Credentials, select show.
A window opens that shows ClientId, ClientSecret, TenantId, and Scope.
Notes:
ClientSecret is obscured. If it is unknown, it can be regenerated to view and create a new value. Save the value in a secure location such as Azure Key Vault for future reference. It is not possible to retrieve the value after navigating away from the page.
The NmeUri parameter is the URI of the Nerdio Manager deployment (for example, https://nmw-app-i55ow6qye6hc6.azurewebsites.net).
