    Did you already try running the following before calling Invoke-RestMethod?

    [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls,

         [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11,

         [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

    That seems to be ok.

    Out of curiosity, did you already try with the Connect-vRAServer function from the PowervRA module?

    I'm getting the same error with Powervra 4.1.1

    Since PowervRA is not part of PowerCLI but a community project, I suggest you open an Issue at the PowervRA repo.
