Hi all,
I've written a script to speed up the creation of web apps which takes user
prompts and passes all the values to a string variable like so...
# Create WebApp [options]
$createApp = "-Name $name " +
"-Port $port " +
"-HostHeader $url " +
"-URL '$publicUrl' " +
"-Path $path " +
$appPool +
"-AuthenticationMethod $authMethod " +
"-DatabaseServer $dbServer " +
"-DatabaseName $dbName" +
$anon +
$ssl
# Instantiate Claims provider
$ap = New-SPAuthenticationProvider
I then pass $createApp and $app to a new variable.
$command = "New-SPWebApplication $createApp -AuthenticationProvider $ap -WhatIf"
Before finally invoking it.
Invoke-Expression $command
The output of $command is below. Now if I copy/paste that output at the command
prompt and run it, it works as expected.
New-SPWebApplication
-Name Dev
-Port 80 -HostHeader dev.local.com.au
-URL https://dev.local.com.au
-Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\devlocal80
-ApplicationPool Portal
-AuthenticationMethod Kerberos
-DatabaseServer dev-sql
-DatabaseName CONTENT_Dev
-SecureSocketsLayer
-AuthenticationProvider $ap
But when it's invoked I get an error with the creation of the authentication
provider.
New-SPWebApplication : A valid object could not be read from the provided
pipebind parameter.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-SPWebApplication -Name DEV -Port 80 -HostHeader dev.local.com ...
+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument:
(Microsoft.Share...viderPipeBind[]:SPAuthenticationProviderPipeBind[]) [New-SPW
ebApplication], PSArgumentException
Removing AuthenticationProvider $ap results in the creation of a classic mode
web app.
I can understand why this is occurring but am hoping someone has an easy fix
for it... Maybe a better method to pass it in?
Regards,
Paul
