Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn Issue

[ThomasRambach]

I'm not sure why this code doesn't work:

string VaultServerName = "VaultServer"
string VaultDatabase = "VaultDatabase"

LogInResult logInResult = Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn(VaultServerName, VaultDatabase, "Administrator","Password", AuthenticationFlags.Standard, null);

But this code does:

LogInResult logInResult = Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn("VaultServer", "VaultDatabase", "Administrator","Password", AuthenticationFlags.Standard, null);

Error:

{"The type initializer for 'Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServicesTools.WebServiceManager' threw an exception."}

Doesn't make sense why that line doesn't except anything but the entry manually included?

Hi @ThomasRambach,

I could not reproduce the error that you have mentioned. The below code seems to work well for me:

string VaultServerName = "localhost";
string VaultDatabase = "TestVault";

LogInResult logInResult = VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn(VaultServerName, VaultDatabase, "Administrator", "", AuthenticationFlags.Standard, null);

I'm getting the same error when I try to call this method from a .NET Core 2.1 Entity Framework project and Vault 2017 dlls.

Is this an issue related to missing references?
