Code Examples

The following example searches for a specific Credential, identified by the CredentialID (a unique guid 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("159fb0d4-8c32-4388-8944-a7ac07678d18");

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

                // Output select properties of the instance to the console.
                Console.WriteLine("Found Credential ID        : {0}", credential.CredentialID);
                Console.WriteLine("Found Credential Name      : {0}", credential.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Found Credential UserName  : {0}", credential.UserName);
                Console.WriteLine("Found Credential Value     : {0}", credential.Value);
                Console.ReadKey();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
            }
        }
