Examples

The following code example uses the QMS API to get the current authentication type for the specified QVWS. It changes the authentication type to NTLM and then saves it. If everything goes well, it prints the original authentication type and then a message when it's done. If anything goes wrong it prints an error message.

The service key injection is assumed to be handled behind the scenes. For an example of how to inject the service key, see Samples.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)

           // create a QMS API client
           IQMS apiClient = new QMSClient();

           //retrieve a time limited service key
           ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = apiClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();
           *********************************************************************************************
           //get a list of all QVWSs
           ServiceInfo[] webServers = apiClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewWebServer);

           //get the current authentication type for the first QVWS in the list
           QVWSAuthentication authentication = apiClient.GetQVWSAuthentication(webServers[0].ID);

           //set the authentication type to NTLM
           authentication.AuthenticationType = QVWSAuthenticationType1.Ntlm;
           apiClient.SetQVWSAuthentication(webServers[0].ID, authentication);

           Console.WriteLine("Authentication type set to NTLM.");
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("An error occured: " + e.Message);
        }
        // wait for user to press any key
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
