Windows Authentication Issue with SessionManager.Instance.Connect

[lkjlkjasdfj]

Hansoft have been setup in my company to use windows credentials. Therefore, since ObjectWrapper seems to support regular authentication only, no matter how hard I try I cannot get my program to connect to Hansoft.

I'm using this functions "combo" in my program

SessionManager.Initialize(sdkUser, sdkUserPwd, server, portNumber, databaseName);
SessionManager.Instance.Connect();

Where sdkUser, sdkUserPwd, server, portNumber, databaseName are obviously the variables containing the correct information. Since we have Windows logon sdkUser is formatted as so : "domain.com\username"

Do you have a quick fix for this and/or do you plan to release a new version of ObjectWrapper to allow Windows authentication ?

PS : Sorry for my weird username I had to Sign-up quickly - So, no I'm not a bot, and yes I'm a human.

hi Guillaume :
We too have LDAP integration along with Hansoft .
If you login as an administrator in your Hansoft client , you can create a "SDK user". In fact, there is a "Create SDK user" button under the "Users" tab. Once you have created a sdk user . You can supply its name and password into the Initailize function . You will NOT use the domain\username pattern in this case.

The Initialize() function should be changed to include an additional parameter which specify the sdk dll folder path .

    /// <summary>
    /// Closes any current connections and opens a new connection to the specified Hansoft database.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="sdkUser">The SDK user name to connect as.</param>
    /// <param name="sdkUserPwd">The password of the SDK user.</param>
    /// <param name="server">The DNS name or IP address of the Hansoft server to connect to.</param>
    /// <param name="port">The port number for the Hansoft server.</param>
    /// <param name="database">The name of the database to access.</param>
    /// <param name="sdkLocation">path to the directory containing HPMSdk.x64.dll and/or HPMSdk.x86.dll</param>
    public static void Initialize(string sdkUser, string sdkUserPwd, string server, int port, string database, string sdkLocation)
    {
        if (instance != null)
            instance.CloseSession();
        instance = new SessionManager(sdkUser, sdkUserPwd, server, port, database, sdkLocation);
    }

Then in the SessionManager's Connect() function, do this:

hpmSession = HPMSdkSession.SessionOpen(server, port, database, sdkUser, sdkUserPwd, callbackHandler, callbackSemaphore, true, EHPMSdkDebugMode.Off, (IntPtr)null, 0, "", sdkLocation, null);

Also add a private string sdkLocation member to SessionManager , and initialize it in the constructor .
