Reply To: Enable Basic Security

Thanks for the quick reply Dom.

The goal is to have a simple solution no real preference, my thought was configuring the client to enable Basic authentication over a non-SSL connection. On re-reading what I had put I realized I had missed forcing New-PSSession to use Basic authentication.

$computer = Get-Content -Path C:\Temp\TrimUnmap\Servers.txt
$cred = Get-Credential
$pso = New-PSSessionOption -NoEncryption
foreach ($computer1 in $computer) {
$sess = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computer1 -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -SessionOption $pso
}

I still get the same “Unencrypted traffic is currently disabled in the client configuration.” I wonder if from what you have put that Basic authentication cannot work over non-SSL and while the client is enabled for unencrypted traffic the message really relates to unencrypted traffic not being allowed with basic authentication.
