ConnectApp

Use this method to retrieve the connection ID (GUID) needed to be able to connect to the host.

Caution

We strongly recommend that you use a secured connection (HTTPS), as otherwise logon credentials are sent as plain, unencrypted text over the internet.

Input

Item	Format	Description
host	String	The host name. Obsolete. Keep this field empty.
login	String	The username.
password	String	The password.
clientAppName	String	The name of the client application
clientAppVersion	String	The version of the client application. Optional. Used in logging and information events.
clientComputerName	String	The name of the client computer. Optional. Used in logging and information events.

Note

• Prior to DataMiner 9.6.0 CU19/10.0.0 CU7/10.0.12, for the ClientAppName, a registered app name must be specified. If this is not done, the connection will be removed after 10 minutes. To request a valid ClientAppName, contact your Skyline Technical Account Manager. From DataMiner 9.6.0 CU19/10.0.0 CU7/10.0.12 onwards, this registration is no longer required. The client app name is then merely used in the audit trail.
• The connection will be removed if it has not been used for 5 minutes, if the logout method is called or if IIS is recycling.

Output

Item	Format	Description
ConnectAppResult	String	The connection ID.
