Any Idea on resolving these kind of errors
Code
PS C:\Users\administrator.DEMO.000> $UserName ="admin"


$ControllerPassword =ConvertTo-SecureString “Netapp1!” -AsPlainText -Force
$ControllerCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($UserName,$ControllerPassword)

$url="
https://192.168.0.71/rest/v1/aggregates?limit=20
"
$a=Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -Credential $ControllerCredential
$a
$a[0]

 

 

Output
Invoke-RestMethod : Error 401 - Unauthorized
Please go back to the homepage and try again.

Got it fixed. OCUM uses a different accept parameter in header variable compared to other gui's
