Add-AzureAccount -credential doesn't work as I was hoping

4 days ago (Aug 4, 2014), a new version of Azure Powershell was released with a new -Credential parameter in the Add-AzureAccount cmdlet. I am trying to use it, but I am clearly doing something wrong. First, I save my password in a file:

read-host -assecurestring | convertfrom-securestring | out-file C:\temp\securestring.txt

Then try using it in Add-AzureAccount

$password = cat C:\temp\securestring.txt | convertto-securestring
$username = "dhdom1\jamiet" #yes, this is the correct username
$mycred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username,$password
Add-AzureAccount -credential $mycred

Failed to call Add-AzureAccount:

Add-AzureAccount: user_realm_discovery_failed: user detected failed: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not found.

I know that "dhdom1 \ jamiet" is the correct account. Does anyone know why this might fail? TIA

You must use the account of the organization that you use to sign in to the Azure Portal. So it might look like jamiet@yourorganizationalaccountname.com or something like that.

  • open window with azure powershell window
  • enter Add-AzureAccount then enter
  • the login screen will appear, then enter this account forecast
  • these credentials are saved in this PowerShell window and then run all other scripts from that particular window.
