function New-PASSession {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Authenticates a user to CyberArk Vault/API.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Authenticates a user to a CyberArk Vault and stores an authentication token and a webrequest session object
which are used in subsequent calls to the API.
In addition, this method allows you to set a new password.
Will attempt authentication against the V10 API by default.
For older CyberArk versions, specify the -UseClassicAPI switch parameter to force use of the V9 API endpoint.
Windows authentication is only supported (from CyberArk 10.4+).
Authenticate using CyberArk, LDAP, RADIUS, SAML or Shared authentication (From CyberArk version 9.7+),
For CyberArk version older than 9.7:
    Only CyberArk Authentication method is supported.
    newPassword Parameter is not supported.
    useRadiusAuthentication Parameter is not supported.
    connectionNumber Parameter is not supported.
 
.PARAMETER Credential
A Valid PSCredential object.
 
.PARAMETER UseClassicAPI
Specify the UseClassicAPI to send the authentication request via the Classic (v9) API endpoint.
Relevant for CyberArk versions earlier than 10.4
 
.PARAMETER newPassword
Optional parameter, enables you to change a CyberArk users password.
Must be supplied as a SecureString (Not Plain Text).
 
.PARAMETER SAMLToken
SAML token that identifies the session, encoded in BASE 64.
 
.PARAMETER UseSharedAuthentication
Specify the UseSharedAuthentication switch to use the Shared Authentication API endpoint to logon
 
.PARAMETER useRadiusAuthentication
Whether or not users will be authenticated via a RADIUS server.
 
.PARAMETER type
When using the version 10 API endpoint, specify the type of authentication to use.
Valid values are CyberArk, LDAP, Windows or RADIUS
Windows is only a valid option for version 10.4 onward.
 
.PARAMETER OTP
One Time Passcode for RADIUS authentication.
 
.PARAMETER OTPMode
Specify if OTP is to be sent in 'Append' (appended to the password) or 'Challenge' mode (sent in response to RADIUS Challenge).
 
.PARAMETER OTPDelimiter
The character to use as a delimiter when appending the OTP to the password. Defaults to comma ",".
 
.PARAMETER RadiusChallenge
Specify if Radius challenge is satisfied by 'OTP' or 'Password'.
If "OTP" (Default), Password will be sent first, with OTP as the challenge response.
If "Password", then OTP value will be sent first, and Password will be sent as the challenge response.
 
.PARAMETER connectionNumber
In order to allow more than one connection for the same user simultaneously, each request
should be sent with different 'connectionNumber'.
Valid values: 1-100
 
.PARAMETER SkipVersionCheck
If the SkipVersionCheck switch is specified, Get-PASServer will not be called after
successfully authenticating. Get-PASServer is not supported before version 9.7.
 
.PARAMETER BaseURI
A string containing the base web address to send te request to.
Pass the portion the PVWA HTTP address.
Do not include "/PasswordVault/"
 
.PARAMETER PVWAAppName
The name of the CyberArk PVWA Virtual Directory.
Defaults to PasswordVault
 
.PARAMETER UseDefaultCredentials
See Invoke-WebRequest
Uses the credentials of the current user to send the web request
 
.PARAMETER Certificate
See Invoke-WebRequest
Specifies the client certificate that is used for a secure web request.
Enter a variable that contains a certificate or a command or expression that gets the certificate.
 
.PARAMETER CertificateThumbprint
See Invoke-WebRequest
The thumbprint of the certificate to use for client certificate authentication.
 
.PARAMETER SkipCertificateCheck
Skips certificate validation checks.
Using this parameter is not secure and is not recommended.
This switch is only intended to be used against known hosts using a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.
Use at your own risk.
