Trouble With Web Services.

Team,
I am trying to integrate the XML web services in my ASP.NET application. I am sending the following series of XMLs to connect and create and find a user.
I am able to login, but i get a response of "no-AccessCode".

here is the series of XMLs I am sending.

Please help me in finding the actual issue.

<param name="action">common-info</param>

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

does that user name / password combo have the proper rights on the system to add users ( must be a member of the Admins group)

and if he does have permission do you grab the cookie before or after login has been OK'd? The cookie changes.

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

1) The user has the rights to add users.
2) I am taking the session after I login, so its the current session only.
3) Interestingly if i just change to use the Quesry string rather than posting the XML string, the same code works. Only issuue is sending XMl request and gettign the proper XML response.

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

is it possible that you are using a XMLHTTP request that is grabbing another cokkie from the server and ignoring your paramater?

I have used your fix method from the beginning and it works great. I grab the cookie right after login and store it as a variable (PublicCookie) then just append all requests with "&session=" + PublicCookie.

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

I have placed the XML REquest string just before the call of send() above in my post, as u see, the session cookie details r not changing, the change I made is in my APIrequest function, replaced the REquest as a query string instead of sending as XML Request and everything started working. So i am really missing the issue here.

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

You are right, the cookie no longer changes. I documented the changing cookie in Connect 6... I wonder if you don't include the cookie in the request if the server issues another cookie. It really shouldn't... That's strange.

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

Interesting part is I used to have a VB dll earlier and It works even with XML request and Response. I converted it VB.NET and the trouble started. I am guessing somethign related to my Conversion, but couldnt figure out. If the XML request and XML response is OK, I dont know what more I should look for . :(

Re: Trouble With Web Services.

Do you have the webservices API documentation for connect 7?
