Intersight / PowerShell API Key Error

[HockyJunkey2026]

I am working from a Windows 11 Pro VM, with the latest version of the Intersight Modules from the PS Gallery and the following version of PowerShell: Major: 7, Minor: 6, Patch:1.

I logged into Intersight and have created the API keys and referenced them as "$env" variables and then running "./api-config.ps1" with no errors. The keys are shown in Intersight as valid. When I try to access Intersight, as in using "Get-IntersightOrganizationOrganization | Get-Member", I receive an error stating: "Cannot perform the operation. Invalid API key. Verify the API keyID, status, account and retry". Is this version of PowerShell compatible with the latest version of the Intersight Modules? Any Ideas? Thanks.

It might be related to this issue in the main intersight-powershell repo:
CiscoDevNet/intersight-powershell#215

Some others have reported after going from powershell 7.5 to 7.6 they weren't able to connect.

You could also try Oauth2 tokens instead of API Keys

Set-IntersightConfiguration -BasePath "https://intersight.com" -GrantType Application -ClientId "xxxxx-yyyy-zzzz" -ClientSecret "xxxxxx"

Get-IntersightOrganizationOrganization -Name 'default' | Select Name

Name
----
default

That works for me on Powershell 7.6

Thanks, Briamorr........I downgraded to 7.5.6 and it is working perfectly. Is there documentation anywhere that covers these "gotchas"?

Glad to hear you got it working! I am not aware of any release notes etc, I'll typically setup a watch or browse through the open/closed issues on the main repository:
