ASDK Training :: Writing Your Own Windows Application

Hi team,

I am trying to connect to Deployment server through a client appln. using VS2005. I have observed the Altiris ASDK Role Based security and the code .

COM Layer
Make this call one time near the beginning of your script:

.DSAuthenticate(username, password, domain)

For example, the following code creates a ComputerManagement object and sets up authentication for it:

Set ComputerManagement = CreateObject(“Altiris.ASDK.DS.ComputerManagement”)

ComputerManagement.TargetServer = “localhost”
ComputerManagement.Authenticate()
Call ComputerManagement.DSAuthenticate (“Username”, “Password”, “Domain”)

All the above methods are void ones. So, actually no method lets u know whether connection is successful or not. Ofcourse, last one can be.... but for me 'DSAuthenticate' is throwing a weird error like

{"Method failed. Exception: The request failed with HTTP status 405: Method not allowed."}

I have Users and UserGroups added with no domain and I am using UserName to connect to the DS.

Thanks...
