Starting with SDK

SDK
Updated July 28, 2014
asked on January 10, 2014

I am starting to develop Laserfiche integrations and I want known how is the licensing to use the SDK.

 

Does the SDK license is for the VAR or each client must obtain a license to run Laserfiche integrations?

 

Is there a way to connect an application to a Laserfiche Repository through Windows Authentication?

 

Is there a way to connect an application to a Laserfiche Repository without consume a user license?

The SDK basically licenses the same as any other Laserfiche product. All connections from the SDK into the Laserfiche Server must be logged in with a specified user account, and that user must be licensed to connect to the Laserfiche Server through a named user account. The named user needs to be allocated on the Server it is connecting to, so it will need to exist there. You can easily connect through windows authentication - you can leave the password and user name blank to automatically log in as the 'current' windows user that is running the integration (or a service user if it's running as a service), or simply manually fill in the DOMAIN\Username as the user the integration is logging in as. Depending on hew the integration is being launched, you can also pass along the current users credentials. There is no way to connect without a licensed connection.

Justin,

 

As far as the second question goes, how does licensing work for distribution of compiled applications that use SDK libraries (installed on client computers using the Runtime Intaller)?

Would customer using the compiled application need their own license for the SDK to use it?

See this Answers post. Customers who need to install the SDK runtime to use an integration do not need an SDK license to do so.

Justin,

 

I used domain\username in my .net console application but it always says login invalid. If I use LF user it works and also if I leave username, password blank, it works. I saw in sessions in admin console that my username shows when I leave it blank in config. But when I type my domain\username and pwd, it doesn't work. Do I need to write in particular format?

 

Thanks,

Whoops, that's true. I was thinking it was because the Client lets you manually type in specific windows auth credentials, but that's because it handles impersonation (Basically, the connection process updates itself to run as the specified user). Just passing that in through the SDK Connection parameter isn't sufficient, you'd have to actually take care of that elsewhere in the code.

I left it blank and it worked for me. It's using the account task scheduler task is running under. Thanks.
