This worked when I initially installed the module. And now it is not working.

PS C:> import-module -name f5-ltm PS C:> $secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "MYPASSWORD" -AsPlainText -Force PS C:> $mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "admin", $secpasswd PS C:> PS C:> $MyLTM_IP=”MYIP” PS C:> $F5Sess= New-F5Session -LTMName $MyLTM_IP -LTMCredentials $MyCreds –PassThru PS C:> $F5Sess

Name BaseURL Credential WebSession

MYIP System.Management.Automation.PSCredential Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSessi

PS C:> get-virtualserver -F5Session $F5Sess ConvertFrom-json : Invalid JSON primitive: Document. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\f5-ltm\1.4.110\Private\Invoke-F5RestMethod.ps1:39 char:50 + ... $message = $_.ErrorDetails.Message | ConvertFrom-json | Selec ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [ConvertFrom-Json], ArgumentException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFromJsonCommand

I get a convertfrom-json issue with pretty much any get command I try.
