Code Examples

The following example searches for a specific Credential, identified by the CredentialID (a unique guid), and updates a value.

namespace CodeSample.Microsoft.SystemCenter.SMA
{
    public class SMASamples
    {
        public static void Main()
        { 
            // Replace this with the name of your SMA web service endpoint.
            string serviceEndPoint = "https://sma-server:9090/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";                      

            // Setup the connection to SMA
            OrchestratorApi SMAService = new OrchestratorApi(new Uri(serviceEndPoint));

            // Set credentials to the default or to a specific user.
            ((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            //((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd", "domain");

            try
            {
                // Identify a specific credential instance to search for.
                var credentialID = new Guid("ebc8f55e-008e-4dcc-b97b-45b0c1ae0505");

                // Query for the specific credential instance identified by CredentialID.
                var credential= SMAService.Credentials.Where(r => r.CredentialID == credentialID).FirstOrDefault();

                // Modify credential instance property.
                credential.UserName = "TESTUSER2";
                credential.RawValue = "test2";
                credential.Description = "Updated test credential.";

                // Update the credential object.
                // Note: This action is queued up until the SaveChanges action is called.
                SMAService.UpdateObject(credential);

                // Save all pending actions (client -> server communication initiated).
                SMAService.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
            }
        }                 
    }
}
