Identity Attribute API

[dmbrown1386 (Derek Brown)]

Has anyone used the Beta API for creating an Identity Attribute? I tried adding support for this Endpoint to my PowerShell module but I keep getting the semantically invalid error. I tried submitting the JSON export of an existing Attribute with a different name and got the same error. Recorded the API calls used in the GUI and its using Private APIs as far as I can tell so wonder if anyone else has had better luck?

Hey @dmbrown1386,

I just tried it with the following body and it was created successfully. Could you give an example as to what you’re trying to create?

Well… I’m dumb. I was getting this error on occasion:

Invoke-WebRequest: Cannot follow an insecure redirection by default. Reissue the command specifying the -AllowInsecureRedirect switch.

Turns out… it was actually working but just not getting the 201 Response in PowerShell. My Semantic errors were from trying to create duplicate Identity Attributes. Works fine in WindowsPowerShell (that switch isn’t available in that version) so wonder what changed in PowerShell that requires that Switch. Never seen it working with any of other Endpoints. Thanks for your help!
