Updating Powershell ISHRemote script for use with Tridion Docs version 15

Question

I wrote a Powershell script using the ISHRemote module a few years ago, and it's been working fine with Tridion Docs version 14. I just upgraded the script to work with Tridion Docs version 15. The main change was to use ClientId / ClientSecret instead of username / password to start a session. It seems to work fine but I had a few questions to make sure it will be good for a while. 
 
 It was written for Powershell version 5.1. Will it work with the latest Powershell version (7.5)? 
 I'm using ISHRemote version 8.1.0. Is there any need to update ISHRemote? It works with Tridion Docs v15. 
 Does ISHremote run over an encrypted channel? Is the client secret sent over an encrypted channel? 
 
 Thanks, 
 Mark Giffin

Hi Mark, 
 The short answers are... 
 
 Yes, it works on cross-platform PowerShell 7.5 
 ISHRemote v8.1 is still the latest version. And this ISHRemote version works on all previous CMS versions. 
 Yes, ISHRemote uses modern standards like "HTTPS" (so SSL or actualy TLS), as the OpenID Connect protocol enforces encryption. 
 
 Some ISHRemote version history... 
 
 ISHRemote v0-v1 was the legacy version using the older security protocol WS-Federation/WS-Trust and only worked on Windows PowerShell 5.1 
 ISHRemote v7 was the version using the older security protocol WS-Federation/WS-Trust and was refactored to also work on cross-platform PowerShell 7.x and still on Windows PowerShell 5.1 More details on https://github.com/RWS/ISHRemote/blob/master/Doc/ReleaseNotes-ISHRemote-7.0.md 
 ISHRemote v8 was refactored to add Modern Authentication over OpenID Connect protocol which was introduced in Tridion Docs 15.0.0. It still offers older security protocol WS-Federation/WS-Trust and still works on cross-platform PowerShell 7.x and Windows PowerShell 5.1 More details on https://github.com/RWS/ISHRemote/blob/master/Doc/ReleaseNotes-ISHRemote-8.0.md 
 ISHRemote v8.1 - at the time of writing - is just the latest version available 
 
 Best wishes, Dave
