SecurityException when trying to login

[Guest andreif]

I’m getting this error, when trying to login. Does it mean my credentials are not ok, or there is some other reason? This error message is too unclear.

CityIndex.JsonClient.ApiException —–> CityIndex.JsonClient.ApiException —–> System.Security.SecurityException —–> System.Security.SecurityException: Security error. at System.Net.Browser.ClientHttpWebRequest.InternalEndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.Browser.ClientHttpWebRequest.<>cDisplayClass5.b4(Object sendState) at System.Net.Browser.AsyncHelper.<>cDisplayClass2.b0(Object sendState) —– End of inner exception stack trace —– at System.Net.Browser.AsyncHelper.BeginOnUI(SendOrPostCallback beginMethod, Object state) at System.Net.Browser.ClientHttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at CityIndex.JsonClient.Client.<>c__DisplayClassf1.<EnqueueRequest>b__e(IAsyncResult ar,RequestHolder requestHolder)

We have crossdomain files deployed in the appropriate place and Silverlight client is able to interact with the server now.

NOTE: still having issues with HTTPS so make sure your testing URL is HTTP

Agree that what ever is going on, the exception is not helpful!

Could you post a snippet of code that generates this exception please.

[Guest andreif]

var client = new Client(RPC_URI);
            client.BeginLogIn(USERNAME, PASSWORD,
                ar =>
                {
                    try
                    {
                        client.EndLogIn(ar);
                    }
                    catch (Exception exc)
                    {
                    }
                }, null);

Maybe the reason of problem is something in network config. And it doesn’t work when I turn off firewall, anyway.

Which platform are you running in? Is this a Windows app, a Silverlight app or a Phone7 app?

@mrdavidlaing It’s a Silverlight app. Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. UPD: it seems this problem is Silverlight-specific. WPF version of the same code works ok.

@andreif Try connecting to the http://ciapipreprod.cityindextest9.co.uk/tradingapi rather than https://ciapi…

I’m thinking its got something to do with the fact that we haven’t published a /clientaccesspolicy.xml

[Guest andreif]

var client = new Client(RPC_URI);
            client.BeginLogIn(USERNAME, PASSWORD,
                ar =>
                {
                    try
                    {
                        client.EndLogIn(ar);
                    }
                    catch (Exception exc)

                    }
                }, null);

@mrdavidlaing In this way it makes login successfully, but then fails on ListNewsHeadlines (the same exception)

[Guest mrdavidlaing]

var client = new Client(RPC_URI);
            client.BeginLogIn(USERNAME, PASSWORD,
                ar =>
                {
                    try
                    {
                        client.EndLogIn(ar);
                    }
                    catch (Exception exc)
                    {
                    }

@andreif – is because (i hope) as david says, that the clientaccesspolicy.xml is missing. we need to wait and see if this solves the issue.

It’s ok as a workaround.

Jason, Yes, a proxy service is a cure for many ills when it comes to x-domain issues on several web client platforms including flash, silverlight and javascript. In order for a proxy to graduate from temporary workaround to viable deployment/testing option it would need to perfectly mimic/proxy the city index server and would likely involve some meta driven code generation. This is under consideration for V2 where an OAuth based authentication strategy is being considered making a local proxy required. It may be worth considering adding a proxy generator to the V1 tree but a budget for that labor needs to be discussed. So – the current best plan is to wait for the xml files to be deployed and see where we are then.

@sky.sanders I think there is no need to mimic the whole API on proxy. HTTP-level proxy would be enough. You can just add settings for proxy connection to client API.
