Add keys for authenticated login. Works fine with who-am-i, enable-job, disable-job, delete-job, create-job, but get-job and update-job fail claiming there is no job by that name. The very same command line with enable-job (as well as the others) works fine.

Workaround is to see if enable-job fails (which it will if there is no job by that name, which was the point of using get-job), then delete-job and create-job instead of update-job if the job already exists. Note that this workaround causes the loss of job history upon deletion.
