Powershell-Azure WebApp IpRestrictions - WebApps Array - arrays

Question

I have been struggling to come up with a working solution for days on this
What am I trying to achieve?
Foreach ($item in $webApps){
$WebAppConfig = (Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName $item -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -ApiVersion $APIVersion)
}
The issue is that "-resourceName" will not accept objects, but rather only a string
I am looking for a way to take the output of the following command, convert it to a string, so that it can satisfy –ResourceName, and loop through each item in the string
$webApps = (Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroup | Get-AzureRmWebApp).name
This returns a nice list of Azure WebApps that exist in a specified ResourceGroup, however they are in object form, which –ResourceName will not take
I have tried several ways to convert the output of $webApps to a string, add a comma to the end, then do a –split ',' but nothing seems to work for properly, where –ResourceName will accept it
Method 1:
[string]$webAppsArrays =#()
Foreach ($webApp in $webApps){
$webAp+',' -split ','
}
Method 2:
$
webApps | ForEach-Object {
$webApp = $_ + ","
Write-Host $webApp
}
Method 3:
$csvPath2 = 'C:\Users\Giann\Documents\_Git Repositorys\QueriedAppList2.csv'
$webApps = (Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroup | Get-AzureRmWebApp).name | out-file -FilePath $csvPath1 -Append
$csvFile2 = import-csv -Path $csvPath1 -Header Name
This ouputs a list in a CSV, however these are still objects, so I cannot pass each item into –ResourceName
I am going in circles trying to make the below a repeatable, looping script
The desired end result would be to use the below script, with an array of webApps, being queried from the provided resource group variable:
Any help would be greatly appreciated for how to use this script, but pull a dynamic list of WebApps from a specified Resource Group, keeping in mind the -ResourceName "String" restrictions in the $WebAppConfig variable
Here is the original script to create IP Restrictions for 1 Web App and 1 Resource Group, using properties from a CSV file:
#Create a Function to create IP Restrictions for 1 Web App and 1 Resource Group, using properties from the CSV file:
#Variables
$WebApp = ""
$resourceGroup =""
$subscription_Id = ''
#Login to Azure
Remove-AzureRmAccount -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
Login-AzureRmAccount -EnvironmentName AzureUSGovernment -Subscription $subscription_Id
Function CreateIpRestriction {
Param (
[string] $name,
[string] $ipAddress,
[string] $subnetMask,
[string] $action,
[string] $priority
)
$APIVersion = ((Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Web).ResourceTypes | Where-Object ResourceTypeName -eq sites).ApiVersions[0]
$WebAppConfig = (Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName $WebApp -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -ApiVersion $APIVersion)
$ipRestriction = $WebAppConfig.Properties.ipSecurityRestrictions
$ipRestriction.name = $name
$ipRestriction.ipAddress = $ipAddress
$ipRestriction.subnetMask = $subnetMask
$ipRestriction.action = $action
$ipRestriction.priority = $priority
return $ipRestriction
}
#Set csv file path:
$csvPath5 = 'C:\Users\Giann\Documents\_Git Repositorys\ipRestrictions5.csv'
#import CSV Contents
$ipRestrictionArray = Import-Csv -Path $csvPath5
$ipRestrictions = #()
foreach($item in $ipRestrictionArray){
Write-Host "Adding ipRestriction properties for" $item.name
$newIpRestriction = CreateIpRestriction -name $item.name -ipAddress $item.ipAddress -subnetMask $item.subnetMask -action $item.action -priority $item.priority
$ipRestrictions += $newIpRestriction
}
#Set the new ipRestriction on the WebApp
Set-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName $WebApp/web -ApiVersion $APIVersion -PropertyObject $ipRestrictions

Answer 1

As continuation on the comments, I really need multiline, so here as an answer.
Note that I cannot test this myself
This page here shows that the Set-AzureRmResource -Properties parameter should be of type PSObject.
(instead of -Properties you may also use the alias -PropertyObject)
In your code, I don't think the function CreateIpRestriction returns a PSObject but tries to do too much.
Anyway, try like this:
Function CreateIpRestriction {
Param (
[string] $name,
[string] $ipAddress,
[string] $subnetMask,
[string] $action,
[string] $priority
)
# There are many ways to create a PSObject (or PSCustomObject if you like).
# Have a look at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7804.powershell-creating-custom-objects.aspx for instance.
return New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
name = $name
ipAddress = $ipAddress
subnetMask = $subnetMask
action = $action
priority = $priority
}
}
#Set csv file path:
$csvPath5 = 'C:\Users\Giann\Documents\_Git Repositorys\ipRestrictions5.csv'
#import CSV Contents
$ipRestrictionArray = Import-Csv -Path $csvPath5
# create an new array of IP restrictions (PSObjects)
$newIpRestrictions = #()
foreach($item in $ipRestrictionArray){
Write-Host "Adding ipRestriction properties for" $item.name
$newIpRestrictions += (CreateIpRestriction -name $item.name -ipAddress $item.ipAddress -subnetMask $item.subnetMask -action $item.action -priority $item.priority )
}
# here we set the restrictions we collected in $newIpRestrictions in the $WebAppConfig.Properties.ipSecurityRestrictions array
$APIVersion = ((Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Web).ResourceTypes | Where-Object ResourceTypeName -eq sites).ApiVersions[0]
$WebAppConfig = (Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName $WebApp -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -ApiVersion $APIVersion)
$WebAppConfig.Properties.ipSecurityRestrictions = $newIpRestrictions
$WebAppConfig | Set-AzureRmResource -ApiVersion $APIVersion -Force | Out-Null
The code above will replace the ipSecurityRestrictions by a new set. You may want to consider first getting them and adding to the already existing list.
I found examples for Getting, Adding and Removing ipSecurityRestrictions here, but I can imagine there are more examples to be found.
Hope that helps.
