Client API not allowing login to Vault Server

[SoonerLR]

I have a project that I use for deploying files from Vault to the web server(s). It worked just fine on Windows XP, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7, the same project will throw the following error while trying to log into Vault using the Client API:
"Couldn't create local settings path. Tried both Sourcegear and"
The code I am using is:

Code: Select all

        
        public bool Login()
        {
            try
            {
                ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.URL = "http://vaultserver/VaultService/";
                ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.User = "vaultuser";
                ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.Password = "vaultpwd";
                ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.Repository = "whatever.com";
                ServerOperations.client.Verbose = true;
                ServerOperations.client.LoginOptions.AccessLevel = VaultConnection.AccessLevelType.Client;
                ServerOperations.Login();
                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
               string vaultError = ex.message;
               throw;
            }
        }

Specifically, it breaks and throws the exception when the ServerOperations.Login() method is called.
Vault client is version 4.1.2.18185
Vault server is version 4.1.2.18185

Any Ideas?

The local settings path is the client side cache, and is usually in the temp directory of the logged in Windows user. The API might be trying to run as Network Service or another account that does not have a Windows login or local profile.

I think I understand. But how do I fix it?

Choose another path, to which you know the service account has access.
