Unable to use the windowsauthentication option

[Anonymous]

I like to connect my program to the Vault using windows authentication, like the users do everyday when using Vault Explorer.

Just for testing I created this line, which works fine:

Me.Conn = VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn(Me.VaultServerName, Me.VaultDBName, Me.VaultUserName, Me.VaultUserPassword, VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.AuthenticationFlags.Standard, Nothing).Connection

I replace this line with the new version:

Me.Conn = VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn(Me.VaultServerName, Me.VaultDBName, Me.VaultUserName, Me.VaultUserPassword, VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.AuthenticationFlags.WindowsAuthentication, Nothing).Connection

I understand username and password are ignored when using WA.

Why am I able to run the first line and not the second variant?

What happens when you run the second version?  Do you get an exception? If so, what are the details of the exception?

I do not receive any exception. 😞

After splitting the line in two parts we see the following:

And now it works! Is this normal you sometimes have to split the code in two step to get the correct result?

Glad it is working.  No--there is no difference (functionally) between your first and second versions of the code.
