Can't login - vault pro server with vault standard client?

[kayessaych]

I'm just trying to connect to vault so I can play with adding a work item but can't get past the login part. The details are below!

ClientAPI 5.1.2.19281 - downloaded it today
VaultService "about" page says I'm on 5.1.2.19283 and that's what our installed clients say, too.

The actual sourcegear clients connect fine.

My code using one of the connection methods found around the boards - seems like the usual:

Code: Select all

A function:                
       string url = "http://intranet source gear site name:port number/VaultService";
       string username = "windows/vault user name";
       string password = "my password";
       string repository = "my repository";
       string workingFolder = @"my working folder";

       // set the login options and login/connect to a repository.
       Vault.Login(url, username, password, repository, workingFolder);

The Login function:

        ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.URL = serverUrl;
        ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.User = userName;
        ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.Password = password;
        ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.Repository = repository;
        ServerOperations.Login();

My unusual exception:

Edit:
This post has a similar problem but the resolution seemed to point to the same API examples that connect in the way I am...

Can you not use the Client API to do this? Do you need to connect to the web service directly?

ClientAPI 5.1.2.19281 - downloaded it today

That's the Vault Standard Client API.

Use this link to download the Vault Pro API:

http://download-us.sourcegear.com/Vault ... _19283.zip

Vault Standard clients can't connect to a Vault Pro Server.

Hope that helps!

Well, that would make sense! Thank you. I'm not the one who set up Vault for our team. However, I'm curious, would she have gotten information about this?

[lbauer]

The Client API is a separate download from the Vault Pro Client and Vault Pro server.

The Vault Pro and Vault Standard pages look very similar, so it would be easy to download the Client API from the Vault Standard page.

Since my test worked after getting that bit of info, I can confirm the following for those searching the boards like a mad man like I was:

With Vault Pro 5.1.2.18283, the AddFortressItem example found below still works: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8020

Thanks! I knew it was something goofy.

Thanks for the update. That's good news. : )
