How to start with GlpiTools Module

How To Start

To start with module GlpiTools which wrap Glpi API into PowerShell functions you have to complete few steps below.

Install Module from PS Gallery
Import Module to use functions
Configure GLPI to use API
Set API configuration

Run PowerShell console with elevated permissions - its important!

Install Module from PS Gallery

Install-Module -Name GlpiTools 

Import Module to use functions

After Module Instalation from PS Gallery you have to import module to use

Import-Module -Name GlpiTools 

Configure GLPI to use API

Enable API - Setup -> General -> API -] Enable Rest API
Configure Access From Localhost - Setup -> General -> API -> full access from localhost -] Filter access (I prefere to leave parameters, IPv4, IPv6 blank - not so secure but if you testing its enough, remember to change it)
Path to Glpi API - Setup -> General -> API -] URL of the API
Get app_token - Setup -> General -> API -> full access from localhost -] Filter access (parameter Application token(app_token), click regenerate checkbox and save, after that app_token will show. Copy token and save it for later use)
Get User API token - Administration -> Users - (user) -> Settings -] Remote access keys (parameter API token, click regenerate checkbox and save, after that User Token will show. Copy token and save it for later use) - ! Remember that user must have permissions to do what u want to do with API

Set API configuration

Last step, and you are ready to go!

$param = {
    AppToken = "provide here app_token"
    UserToken = "provide here user_token"
    PathToGlpi = "provide here URL of the API"
}
Set-GlpiToolsConfig @param

End 😀

You can check existing configuration by running

Get-GlpiToolsConfig

There is always one configuration, so if you want to change, you have to run commands from “Set API configuration” step

Enjoy!
