Parameters

connectionDescriptor

The name or address of the adTempus server to connect to. Optionally include the instance name and port number, if necessary. Use BuildConnectionDescriptor to generate the connectionDescriptor in the correct syntax if the adTempus server is a named instance or is using a non-standard port. You can use BuildConnectionDescriptor to construct the descriptor in the correct format.

authenticationType

The type of authentication to use.

userID

The user ID to use for authentication.

password

The password to use for authentication.

expectedCertificate

The expected/trusted certificate for the server. See Remarks.

Return Value

If authenticationType is ArcanaDevelopment.adTempus.Shared.LoginAuthenticationType.adTempus, the userID and password are required and the corresponding Security Login must be configured to use user ID/password security

If authenticationType is ArcanaDevelopment.adTempus.Shared.LoginAuthenticationType.Windows, the Security Login must be configured to use Windows integrated security.

• If the userID and password are specified, the connection will be made using the identity of the specified user.
• If the userID and password are not specified, the connection will be made using the identity that the calling process is running under.

The expectedCertificate is needed when the security certificate used by the server is not trusted by the client computer (e.g., it is self-signed, or issued by an unrecognized issuing authority). In this case, calling Connect without an expectedCertificate results in a ArcanaDevelopment.adTempus.Shared.CertificateValidationException, and the exception contains the certificate returned by the server. If the client decides to accept the certificate, it can be persisted locally on the client and then passed in subsequent calls to Connect to indicate that it should be trusted.
