Not remembering to automatically use profile

christian · Post by **christian** » Wed May 04, 2005 1:19 am

Hi,
I'm having problems with Vault gui and some other apps that connect to vault to get the apps to remember to automatically use profile.

It looks as though I can reproduce the problem and it seems likely that another app is to blame but I cannot be 100% sure. Here's what's happening:

1) I fire up the vault gui and check "Automatically connect using this profile"
2) I confirm that the vault gui has remembered my preferences by restarting the gui - I connect to vault without being prompted with a connection dialog. I then close the vault gui
3) I open this other app (ApexSQLEdit) and it prompts with a Connect To Server dialog that appears to be identical to the dialog that Vault gui displays. This time the dialog "Automatically connect using this profile" is greyed out. I hit ok to this dialog and a connection is successfully made to Vault using the same user credentials as step 1
4) I fire up the vault gui again but this time I get prompted with the Connect To Server dialog with the "Automatically connect using this profile" unchecked

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks
Christian

I'm not sure why the Apex app isn't automatically connecting, but if it doesn't, that does affect the GUI client the next time it comes up. We need to separate GUI client connection info from IDE connection info so that this doesn't happen. I'll add your vote for it.

Hi Dan,
What you're suggesting sounds a good idea. Are you confident that Apex software is in error when trying to make a connection?
Thanks
Christian

No - I really don't know what is going on, as Apex isn't an officially supported IDE.

Our IDE code is designed to automatically login if a profile is used as the connection info, so it is possible they are sending username/pw/server instead, or it is possible that Vault acts differently outside of Visual Studio.

Thanks for the frank reply. Is it ok if I ask the lead developer at Apex, a guy named Ashton, to carry this thread on?

Just thinking about it I'll have to ask him to start a new topic over at the standard forum.
