Examples/PlugInIdentityExample/GatewayPlugInIdentityExample doesn't work about windows-admin-center-sdk HOT 7 OPEN

you need to add capability.

using Microsoft.ManagementExperience.Extensibility.Capabilities;
[assembly: UserCredentialsCapability()]

from windows-admin-center-sdk.

[assembly: UserCredentialsCapability()]
Added this line to the example project. And now it's working. Thanks.

from windows-admin-center-sdk.

Now this code line works:
var credentials = this.GetWindowsCredential(url.TargetNode)
We've got, it works only once. A second time access does not throw an error, but it does not return data either. So password, username are empty strings.
E.g.

1. Connect to Windows Server host.
2. Navigate to our tool.
3. Our gateway plugin is requested, data is loaded.
4. Can read Windows Server credentials.
5. Next work with data in our tool. And request our gateway plugin again.
6. Cannot read Windows Server credentials, all fields are empty. Moreover, all cached data of our gateway plugin is cleaned.

Hi - Could you tell me which version of Windows Admin Center you are running (question mark in the top right hand corner)?

In the latest builds, you can consider the plugin to be transient, exactly in the same manner as a WebAPI controller. Every request will get a new instance of the plugin, so you'll have to do cache management carefully. Be aware that the app domain can be recycled any time so in memory caching can be tricky, and you need to make sure you can recover.

I would recommend that you look at what can be pushed to the UI throught he user or application settings: http:///devguide/tools/settings-manager/userProfile

Also, if you have any sensitive data, it needs to be protected: http:///devguide/tools/secure-extension-dation

from windows-admin-center-sdk.

Thanks, for the reply. Now it's clear, how plugin memory cache works.
But still need to know, why this code
var credentials = this.GetWindowsCredential(url.TargetNode)
returns password, username as empty strings.

WAC we are running:
Version: 1906
Build: 1.2.1906.03003

P.S. Link to devguide/tools/secure-extension-dation is dead. Is there newaer verision of devguide? We are using 1.366.0

from windows-admin-center-sdk.

Ah i see the problem, my urls got messed up. What I mean is to hit the built in Dev Guide inside of Windows Admin Center. In the menu on the left there is a section for settings manager:

Does that make more sense?

from windows-admin-center-sdk.

Yes. Got it, thank you.
So we'll move our cached in memory data for gateway plugin to this settings.

But what about the credentials. In C# code of gateway plugin previously you suggest to use this this.GetWindowsCredential(url.TargetNode)
And now it returns empty strings.
Should we obtain credentials of Win Server Hosts in other way now? Can we get it via some kind of admin setting manager and then pass it in our tool and gateway plugin (attach in request context)?
