M-Files API 23.11.13135.0
ConnectWithExistingVaultSession Method
MFilesServerApplication Object : ConnectWithExistingVaultSession Method
The ID of the existing vault session.

Protocol sequence name to be used in server communication. Supported protocols include:

The network address of a server computer. Either a human readable computer name or an IP address in dotted decimal format. The default value is "localhost".

Specifies the communication port on which the server listens for calls.

With the TCP/IP protocol, specify the TCP port that M-Files Server is listening to. Typically this value is 2266.

With the HTTPS protocol, specify the M-Files Server endpoint that will be used between the RPC Proxy and M-Files Server on the server side. Typically this value is 4466. Note that this parameter does not affect the port that the client uses to communicate with the server. Regardless of this setting, the client will always use the standard HTTPS port for communicating with the server.

With the LPC protocol, specify "MFServerCommon_F5EE352D-6A03-4866-9988-C69CEA2C39BF" to connect to the local M-Files Server instance regardless of its version. If multiple versions of M-Files Server are running on the same computer, the first instance that has started has been registered to listen to this endpoint. Alternatively, you can leave this parameter empty in order to connect to the exact same version of M-Files Server as the M-Files API version you are using. If you leave the Endpoint parameter empty with the LPC protocol, M-Files API uses a version-specific endpoint name to connect to M-Files Server.

The default endpoint for the gRPC protocol is 7766. With the local gRPC protocol, use the version of the M-Files Server instance you are connecting to as the endpoint value. For instance, 20.9.9403.0. Use an empty value for referring to the current installation.

Specifies whether to encrypt data between the M-Files Client service and the M-Files Server service. Applies to certain protocol sequences only.

With non-local gRPC, the value must be true when the server you are connecting to uses TLS and false when the server does not use TLS. With local gRPC, the recommended value is false.

Description

Parameters
SessionID
The ID of the existing vault session.
ProtocolSequence

Protocol sequence name to be used in server communication. Supported protocols include:

  • "ncacn_ip_tcp" (TCP/IP protocol)
  • "ncacn_spx" (SPX protocol)
  • "ncalrpc" (local interprocess call, LPC)
  • "ncacn_http" (HTTPS)
  • "grpc" (gRPC)
  • "grpc-local" (local gRPC)
NetworkAddress
The network address of a server computer. Either a human readable computer name or an IP address in dotted decimal format. The default value is "localhost".
Endpoint

Specifies the communication port on which the server listens for calls.

With the TCP/IP protocol, specify the TCP port that M-Files Server is listening to. Typically this value is 2266.

With the HTTPS protocol, specify the M-Files Server endpoint that will be used between the RPC Proxy and M-Files Server on the server side. Typically this value is 4466. Note that this parameter does not affect the port that the client uses to communicate with the server. Regardless of this setting, the client will always use the standard HTTPS port for communicating with the server.

With the LPC protocol, specify "MFServerCommon_F5EE352D-6A03-4866-9988-C69CEA2C39BF" to connect to the local M-Files Server instance regardless of its version. If multiple versions of M-Files Server are running on the same computer, the first instance that has started has been registered to listen to this endpoint. Alternatively, you can leave this parameter empty in order to connect to the exact same version of M-Files Server as the M-Files API version you are using. If you leave the Endpoint parameter empty with the LPC protocol, M-Files API uses a version-specific endpoint name to connect to M-Files Server.

The default endpoint for the gRPC protocol is 7766. With the local gRPC protocol, use the version of the M-Files Server instance you are connecting to as the endpoint value. For instance, 20.9.9403.0. Use an empty value for referring to the current installation.

EncryptedConnection

Specifies whether to encrypt data between the M-Files Client service and the M-Files Server service. Applies to certain protocol sequences only.

With non-local gRPC, the value must be true when the server you are connecting to uses TLS and false when the server does not use TLS. With local gRPC, the recommended value is false.

Remarks
Requires M-Files 12.0.6700.0 or later.
