Hi,

How can I use Search-IdentityNowUserProfile to search for email address?

Thanks,
David

You're best to use the Invoke-IdentityNowRequest cmdlet and target the latest APIs.

You'll need to create a search query object in the new format which for your search looks like this.

query         : {[query, email:"darren@darrenjrobinson.com"]}
indices       : {identities}
includeNested : False
sort          : {displayName}

Then convert to JSON and use with Invoke-IdentityNowRequest like this against the v3 Search API.

$searchBodyJSON = $searchObj | ConvertTo-Json 
Invoke-IdentityNowRequest -uri "https://YOURTENANT.api.identitynow.com/v3/search" -method Post -headers Headersv3_JSON -body $searchBodyJSON

from one of my environments using the above.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Does this look correct? I'm still getting an error.

[darrenjrobinson]

The error indicates your JSON isn't valid.
How did you generate it? As a custom PSObject and then convert?
Does converting your json to a PSObject fail indicating where the syntax error is?

[dmcconnell68]

Yes, I found an issue with the JSON, corrected that and it works now. I did notice the email address is case-sensitive when searching, is there a way to make it case-insensitive?

Thanks,
David

[darrenjrobinson]

Yes, drop the email attribute from the query then it becomes case-insensitive.

query         : {[query, "darren@darrenjrobinson.com"]}

But then you will need to iterate through the results to find the result associated with an identity on the source you expect.

Thanks Darren. I got this working in our sandbox environment. Having some issues with prod though. I have created a Personal Access Token with all scopes, but getting this error when trying to run cmdlets. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Bad client credentials indicates your PAT clientID and clientSecret are not correct.
Try using the Test-IdentityNowCredentials to validate them.
