AOP5 get no Connection to ODS Server

[AndreasK]

Because there is actually no escape for "," you can write to the password or user

,user=hq_admin,password=*************

with a leading "," character. The Server will get

USER=,user=hq_admin,password=*************

 and if he ignores unknown tokens, see the user.

But I can not believe that this is a Problem we are connecting to HigQSoft Servers (new and old) since ever.

Is it possible that you hit an encoding problem because of special characters in your password?

!!!! It is just the other way roundb ut I can not edit my post.

Because there is actually no escape for "," you can write to the password

,USER=hq_admin,PASSWORD=*************

with a leading "," character. The Server will get

user=,password=,USER=hq_admin,PASSWORD=*************

and if he ignores unknown tokens, see the user and the password.

Do not enter it in user because the case insensitive servers will overwrite with empty string after assigning it.

Hi Andreas,

It is the newest Version of the HigQSoft Avalon (4.3b) the developer told me, that they have changed the check of the session parameters to UPPER-case like the ODS Rules describe it.

Here is a snippet of the ODS OO API:

-----8<-------

A string that may contain authentication information. The following values are currently
supported:
USER The name of the user
PASSWORD The password of the user
CREATE_COSESSION_ALLOWED Specifying whether a co-session may be created
within this session (TRUE, FALSE); default is
FALSE; readonly within the session
FOR_USER The name of the user for which this session shall
be created. If this value is given, USER must be
a superuser. Otherwise the exception
AO_CONNECT_REFUSED will be thrown.

-------->8---------

Ok I've tried to set a COMMA in front of the username. But I cannot get influence on the connectionstring of Diadem. My only Interface is the AOP5 Plugin with its configuration GUI.

Is there a way to post a Feature request to the AOP5 Plugin?

Hello Michaba,

Please fille the following to your GUI:

As user enter

hq_admin

As password enter (wheer you fill in your value):

*************,USER=hq_admin,PASSWORD=*************

I double checked. This should work with the server and should not break the next versions.

P.S.: We will discuss this issue in ASAM ODS working group.
