function Get-CCPCredential {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Use the GetPassword REST Web Service to retrieve passwords from the Central Credential Provider.

    .DESCRIPTION
    When the Central Credential Provider for Windows is published via an IIS and the Central
    Credential Provider Web Service, this function can be used to retrieve credentials.
    Passwords stored in the CyberArk Vault are retrieved to the Central Credential Provider, where
    they can be accessed by authorized remote applications/scripts using a web service call.

    .PARAMETER AppID
    Specifies the unique ID of the application issuing the password request.

    .PARAMETER Safe
    Specifies the name of the Safe where the password is stored.

    .PARAMETER Folder
    Specifies the name of the folder where the password is stored.

    .PARAMETER Object
    Specifies the name of the password object to retrieve.

    .PARAMETER UserName
    Defines search criteria according to the UserName account property.

    .PARAMETER Address
    Defines search criteria according to the Address account property.

    .PARAMETER Database
    Defines search criteria according to the Database account property.

    .PARAMETER PolicyID
    Defines the format that will be used in the set PolicyID method.

    .PARAMETER Reason
    The reason for retrieving the password. This reason will be audited in the Credential Provider audit log

    .PARAMETER Query
    A query value to be specified in the URL to filter the result.

    .PARAMETER ConnectionTimeout
    The number of seconds that the Central Credential Provider will try to retrieve the password.
    The timeout is calculated when the request is sent from the web service to the Vault and returned back
    to the web service.

    .PARAMETER Credential
    Specify the credentials object if OS User authentication is required for CCP.

    .PARAMETER UseDefaultCredentials
    Use the default credentials for CCP OS User authentication.

    .PARAMETER Certificate
    A Certificate from a local store which is authorised to access the AIMWebService.

    .PARAMETER CertificateThumbPrint
    A Certificate Thumbprint authorised to access the AIMWebService.

    .PARAMETER WebServiceName
    The name the CCP WebService is configured under in IIS.
    Defaults to AIMWebService

    .PARAMETER URL
    The URL for the CCP Host

    .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.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PSScript -Safe PSAccounts -Object PSPlatform-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com

    Uses the PSScript App ID to retrieve password for the PSPlatform-AccountName object in the PSAccounts safe from the
    https://cyberark.yourcompany.com/AIMWebService CCP Web Service.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PowerShell -Safe PSAccounts -UserName svc-psProvision -WebServiceName DevAIM -URL https://cyberark-dev.yourcompany.com

    Uses the PowerShell App ID to search for and retrieve the password for the svc-psProvision account in the PSAccounts safe
    from the https://cyberark-dev.yourcompany.com/DevAIM CCP Web Service.

    .EXAMPLE
    $result = Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com

    $result.ToSecureSting()

    Returns the password retrieved from CCP as a Secure String

    .EXAMPLE
    $result = Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com

    $result.ToCredential()

    Returns the username & password retrieved from CCP as a PSCredential object

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com -UseDefaultCredentials

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with the UseDefaultCredentials switch to use OS User authentication

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com -Credential $creds

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with the supplied Credentials for OS User authentication

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com -CertificateThumbPrint $Cert_ThumbPrint

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with the supplied Certificate thumbprint

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -AppID PS -Safe PS -Object PSP-AccountName -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com -Certificate $Cert

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with the supplied Certificate for Certificate authentication

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -Query 'AppID=PS&Object=PSP-AccountName&Safe=PS&QueryFormat=Exact' -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with a prepared query string

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CCPCredential -Query 'AppID=PS&Object=PSP-AccountName&Safe=PS;CustomFileCategoryName1=Yourcompany Data' -URL https://cyberark.yourcompany.com

    Calls Invoke-RestMethod with a prepared query string that includes a custom file category and a space
