PowerShell KeePass

PoShKeePass is a PowerShell module that combines the ease of the PowerShell cli and the extensibility of the KeePassLib API to provide a powerful and easy to use management and automating platform for KeePass databases.

Features

Database Configuration Profiles - Supports mutliple databases and authentication options.
Getting, Creating, Updating, and Removing KeePass Entries and Groups - All of these perform as much automatic database authentication as possible using the database configuration profile. For databases that use a masterkey (password) it will prompt for it.
Generating KeePass Passwords - Supports most character sets and advanced keepass options. Also supports creating password profiles that can be specified to create a new password with the same rule set.

Getting Started

Install

Install-Module -Name PoShKeePass

Documentation

Please check out our Getting Started documentation on our wiki.

Important Notes & Reminders

Please always keep up to date backups of your KeePass database files .kdbx and .key files.
The module uses the KeePassLib 2.39.1 which is included in the module.
This module was built and tested in PowerShell 5.1 on Windows 10 but should work in PowerShell 4 and Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 and up. It may work in some earlier versions but is currently untested and not supported. If you come across issues create an issue and I will look into fixing it or create a pull request.

Changelog

Please review the changelog document for a full history.

v.2.1.3.0

Added #160 - Default Database Configuration Profile.
- When set, the -DatabaseProfileName parameter is optional, and if not passed it will grab the default profile from the config.
- To Set it up on an existing profile simply use the update command:
```
  Update-KeePassDatabaseConfigurationProfile -DatabaseProfileName 'name' -Default
```
- To Create a new profile as default use the new command:
```
  New-KeePassDatabaseConfigurationProfile -DatabaseProfileName 'name' -Default -DatabasePath '' other options
```
- This allows for calls to the main module functions without the -DatabaseProfileName parameter such as:
```
  Get-KeePassEntry -UserName 'aUser'
```

v.2.1.2.8

Added - #84 - Manage Notes properties on KPGroup Objects.
v.2.1.2.6 - Added - #158 - Added Update-KeePassDatabaseConfiguration function and tests.

v2.1.1.8

Many fixes, features and improvements, please note the Breaking Changes Below

Fix #129 - Can now pass Credential Object to -MasterKey Parameter
Fix/Implemented #69 - All primary Functions return a Powershell object rather than a KeePass Object This Includes Breaking changes!.
- Breaking:
  - Since a powershell object is now returned, in order to access the keepass object a child property has been added to the ps object, .KPEntry and .KPGroup.
  - Deprecated the -AsPlainText parameter on the Get-KeePassGroup function, the call will still work but it will present a warning message. This is being removed as it is no longer necessary.
- Non-Breaking:
  - Moved how database profile name was being added to the ps object for better performance on conversion.
Implemented #93 - Get-KeePassEntry Now supports -Title and -UserName parameters also via pipeline.
Normalized Error handling to remove repetitive code
Converted extraneous logic to parameter splatting
Code formatting and removed explict parameter attributes where not necessary.
Updated Object creation to use the hashtable method for performance over the New-Object + Add-Memeber.
Fix #44 - Pipeline now Works for Remove-KeePassDatabaseConfiguration.
Implemented #141 - Much stronger Pipeline support.
- -DatabaseProfileName no longer needs to be specified to a KPPSObject pipeline recieving function.
  - Example: Get-KeePassEntry -Title 'test' -DatabaseProfileName 'profile' | Remove-KeePassEntry
- All parent and object paths now are recieved by the pipeline which of course can be overridden by specifing the parameter.
Fixed #140 and #138 - by removing the EncodeKeePassLib.ps1 script file as it is no longer in use.
Fixed #144 - Removed Faultly logic which allowed for the KeePass Icon to get set to blank while updating an object.
Implemented #143 There are no more dynamic parameters! So all of the gitches have left with them. They still support tab completion by using Register-ArgumentCompleter.
- Breaking Change as this is only supported in powershell v5 and up, auto complete will not work in older versions.
Implemented #118 - by adding support for keepasslib version 2.39.1
- The new file format version between the previous version of 2.34 and the latest apears to be much slower on some operations.
- Testing the new Lib version against the previously suported version 2.34 all worked and appears to be backwards compatible. Also it does not upgrade the file format version.
- Version can easily flipped back by modifying the global variable in the .psm1 file.
- This fixes #131.
Fix #145 - Updating a KeePass Entry now updates the modification time in UTC.
- Breaking Change - Renamed the LastAccessTime and LastModificationTime properties to LastAccessTimeUtc and LastModificationTimeUtc to reflect that they are in UTC.
Addressed #88 - Get-KeePassEntry
- Since a Ps object is now always returned, all fields but the password are in plaintext. Now specifying the -AsPlainText will decode the password to plaintext.
  - This gives the user better control over when they expose the password as plaintext if need be.
- Another improvement is there is now a -WithCredential parameter which adds a .Credential property to the return Entry PS Object.
  - This is not done by default as it has overhead.
  - This gives the user better options and does not require manual creation of the credential.
  - Breaking Change Since this has been implemeneted the -AsPsCredential parameter has been removed. The new method is better as it allows for multiple entries to be returned with thier cred objects instead of limiting it to 1 entry.
Breaking Change - ConvertTo-KPPSObject and all returned objects the .FullPath property now returns the true full path of the object. The ParentGroup property still exists and can be used as an alteranative data source for any lost functionality.
