Get Services Security version (or folder name) through Vault API

[Anonymous]

A Vault client stores some local objects (e.g. Shortcuts) in path with next structure: "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\VaultCommon\Servers\<Services_Security_version>\<ServerName>\Vaults\<VaultName>\Objects\Shortcuts.xml".

For the Vault 2020 the <Services_Security_version> == "Services_Security_1_7_2019",

for Vault 2019 => "Services_Security_1_16_2018".

QUESTION: Is there any way to get the <Services_Security_version> (version or name of folder) through Vault API ?

You can do it like this:

	var url = vaultConnection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.Url;
	//var url = "http://server/AutodeskDM/Services/v24/DocumentService.svc";
	WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create($"{url}?wsdl");
	request.Proxy = null;

	var xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();

	using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
	using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
		xmlDoc.Load(stream);

	string tns = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.Attributes["targetNamespace"].Value;
	var tnsParts = tns.Split('/', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
	var dateParts = tnsParts.Skip(tnsParts.Length - 3);
	var serverNamespace = $"Services_Security_{string.Join('_', dateParts)}";

Forget my former post, you should use this:

VDF.Vault.Library.LocalFileLocation.GetVaultCommonConnectionPath(
    conn: connection,
    serverSpecific: true,
    serverVersionSpecific: VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.CommonPreferenceVersionRequirements.VersionSpecific,
    vaultSpecific: true
    );

Thank you for both solutions.
