Can not connect to Office 365 / Exchange Online with PowerShell #5561
Description
I can not connect to Office 365 / Exchange Online with PowerShell.
Apparently others can with the latest version of push, but it is not working for me on either macOS 10.12 or 10.13 with pwsh 6.0.0-rc
I get an error creating the New-PSSession. Depending on the exact syntax of the command I'm using, it either says New-PSSession : This parameter set requires WSMan, and no support WSMan client library was found, or PowerShell quits with an unhandled exception and abort trap 6.
Steps to reproduce
Install PowerShell 6.0.0-rc on macOS 10.12 or 10.13.
Use Get-Credential to get an Office 365 administrator credential and then use New-PSSession to create a new session.
[kai@blackmac ~]$ pwsh

[kai@blackmac ~]$ You will note from the prompt in the last line above that it's dropped me back into the bash shell.
Expected behavior
It is expected that New-PSSession will work on macOS
Actual behavior
Depending on the precise syntax of the command, New-PSSession either returns an error message:
New-PSSession : This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found
Or, New-PSSession has an unhandled exception and PowerShell quits with abort trap 6.
The differences in the syntax are with the ConnectionUri - whether or not there is a trailing slash on the uri seems to make the difference. With a trailing slash, I get the error about WSMan missing. Without the trailing slash, the PowerShell session aborts.
With trailing slash:
PS /Users/kai> $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
