GP 2016 VStools addin integration with web client - Dynamics.Globals.SqlPassword getting wrong password

I am working on a customization for a client in GP 2016 - They are using the desktop client as well as the web client.

in my C# code I am using Dynamics.Globals.SqlPassword and Dynamics.Globals.UserId to make a connection to the database.

It works fine on the desktop client and I'm able to connect to the database - but when using the web client it seems to be grabbing a different password and therefore failing to connect.

I assumed it was getting the password of the user setup to connect the web client to the database (gpwebclient) but I tried hardcoding that username and it's still failing.

Any ideas here? Having trouble finding supporting documentation for this area.

RE: GP 2016 VStools addin integration with web client - Dynamics.Globals.SqlPassword getting wrong password

so looks like I was backwards.. it was getting the right password, wrong user... for the webclient I had to use the sqlLoginID instead of the UserId

// if it's the desktop client we will use the gpusername/password to authenicate ...

if (Dynamics.Forms.SyVisualStudioHelper.Functions.DexRuntimeGetClientType.Invoke() == 1)

{

Username = Dynamics.Globals.UserId.Value;

}// if it's the web client we'll use the sqllogin/password

else if (Dynamics.Forms.SyVisualStudioHelper.Functions.DexRuntimeGetClientType.Invoke() == 2)

{

Username = Dynamics.Globals.SqlLoginId.Value;

}

all is good in the world now
