Which API connection method to use for the following requirements ?

Clemence Duchesne

I'm developing an external tool that uses the COM API in .Net (not a Vault Application).  We need to connect to a vault (on-premise) that uses vault-level logins with Federated Authentication enabled (Entra ID).  

Although federated authentication is enabled, the account that we are using to connect is an M-Files login account (vault-level).

I'm able to connect to the vault using M-Files web and M-Files Desktop...The DNS mappings are well configured on the server.

I'm attempting to connect with MFilesServerApplication using the same connection info as with M-Files Desktop and have tested via different methods but keep getting an authentification error.  I think I might need to pass more information via the ConnectionData class but it is unclear to me.

Thanks !

    The method ConnectEx7 does the job for my different requirements. Here is the parameters to use in case anyone need something similar :

    MFilesServerApplication mFilesServerApplication = new();
MFServerConnection mFServerConnection = MFServerConnection.MFServerConnectionNone;

ConnectionData connectionData = new ConnectionData();
connectionData.ProtocolSequence = vaultConnection.Protocol;
connectionData.NetworkAddress = vaultConnection.ServerName;
connectionData.Endpoint = vaultConnection.PortNumber;
connectionData.EncryptedConnection = vaultConnection.EncryptedConnection;

mFServerConnection = mFilesServerApplication.ConnectEx7(connectionData, vaultConnection.AuthType, username, password);


if (mFServerConnection == MFServerConnection.MFServerConnectionNone) throw new Exception("Connection to M-Files serveur failed");

return mFilesServerApplication.LogInToVault(vaultGUID);
