$appServer= $([uri]"http://localhost:9191/rpc/api/xmlrpc")

$auth="xtoken"

try {
     $r = Invoke-XmlRpcRequest -ServerUri $appServer  -MethodName  "api.getConfigValue"  -Params $($auth, "auth.webservices.auth-token")
     if ($r.faultCode -and  $r.faultstring ) {
         throw $r.faultstring
     }
}

catch { Write-Error -message $r.faultstring }

finally { Write-Host $r }
