"Access denied" on remote winrm

Question

I created a Windows virtual machine on Windows Azure using winrm over SSL.

But I can not connect it using powershell script.

When I run the following:

​Enter-PSSession -ConnectionUri https://myniceapp.cloudapp.net:5986 
                -Credential "hostname/username"  
                -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck)

I get a request with a password, and after entering it, I can connect.

But when I try to automate it, it always comes back with "Access denied"

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force "password"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "hostname/username", $securePassword 
​Enter-PSSession -ConnectionUri https://myniceapp.cloudapp.net:5986 -Credential $mycreds -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck)

Any ideas?

Edit

The full error looks like this:

Enter-PSSession: The connection to the remote myniceaspp.cloudapp.net server failed with the following error message: access denied. For more information, see the help topic about_Remote_Troubleshooting.
