SEPM 14 API Authentification using SecureString

Hi all,

I have an SEP 14.2 Infra deployed and need to automate some tasks (move computers from group to another, add/apply exception or other policy, etc.) with Powershell.

To use the API, I have to authenticate, this is good, but is it a way to use a secured password and not plain text ?

The only way I found and that work is by using a json file (or a hash table converted to json) with password in plain text. Get-Credential or Read-Host -AsSecureString don't work and always generate errors. Even demo scripts from Symantec are with plain text password.

Any help please ?
