Connection via API using gRPC

Question

Hi, 
 
 I've got a connection to a cloud-vault that uses gRPC, that works fine via M-Files desktop with the following settings: 
 
 Now I want to setup a connection via the API, using the method IMFilesServerApplication.Connect (or any of the overloads: ConnectEx3/ConnectEx4/ConnectEx5ConnectEx6 ). 
 I'm using a M-Files login-account for this. 
 As example I'm trying the following call: 
 mfServerApplication.ConnectEx6( AuthType: MFAuthType.MFAuthTypeSpecificMFilesUser , NetworkAddress: " [instance].cloudvault.m-files.com " , UserName: " [m-files login account] " , Password: " [***] " , ProtocolSequence: " grpc " , Endpoint: " 443 " , EncryptedConnection: true ); 
 This results in the following message: 
 Network problems are preventing M-Files from communicating with the server. The RPC server is unavailable. 
 What is still missing, when building up the connection via API?

Kind regards, 
 Chris

A colleague tested this in his own development environment and was able to connect to a cloud vault with your settings. Did you try this API connection from the same computer where the desktop client is running? If not, is it possible that there is a firewall or some other component blocking the connection?
