sdk Server.GetRepositories() over ssl

SDK Version 9

Updated July 3, 2015

asked on June 20, 2015

With SDK , I use the following in a ComboBox DropDown event to populate the list with available repositories attached to a server:

        Try
            If String.IsNullOrEmpty(sLFServer) Then
                MessageBox.Show("Please provide a Laserfiche server name or IP.")
            Else
                Using svr As New Server(sLFServer)
                    Dim AllRepositories As RepositoryRegistrationCollection = svr.GetRepositories()
                    For Each Repo As RepositoryRegistration In AllRepositories
                        If Not cmbLFRepository.Items.Contains(Repo.Name) Then
                            cmbLFRepository.Items.Add(Repo.Name)
                        End If
                    Next
                End Using
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception

The problem that I am running into is if the server is set to use SSL and port 80 is not available my code throws error :

Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.AccessDeniedException = {"The user account name or password is incorrect. [9010]"}

I have only tried with RA9.2 and LFS 9.2.1.

I have also tried to add

svr.IsConnectionSecure = True

before calling the .GetRepositories but that did not help either. How do I get the available repositories?

Does it work with port 80 unblocked? I can get the repository list over SSL using your code (with IsConnectionSecure=true). Try enabling logging by calling InitializeMethodTracer:

MethodTracer.InitializeMethodTracer(@"c:\logs\RA.log");

The log might indicate what is going wrong.

Sorry about the delay, I was on vacation. It looks like RA can't authenticate your user using domain authentication to get the repository list. I can try connecting to your server myself if you want.

RA should still be able to get the repository list when the server level authentication fails, I think this might be a bug in the SDK.

Robert, thanks for the response. When I get a chance, I will play with it more and try the tracing you suggested.

Since Robert was able to make it work and his MethodTracer sample is in C#, I figured I would try it in C# to see if it made a difference. It did not.

Here is a screenshot of my code with the caught error:

Here is the content of the RA.Log:

From the LF 9.2.1 client on the same PC, I can attach to the server and the repository dropdown of the attach process will fill. Robert, I can provide you my server name (in email) if you want to test against it.

Since when does a user authenticate to get a repository list?

Email me bwarren@paperfreetech.com and I will provide my server information for you to test against.
