SaaSConnect (Function)

In french: SaaSConnecte

Authenticates a user of a SaaS site beside the SaaS web service that manages the site.

Note: When the connection is established with SaaSConnect, all sites can be accessed.. SaaSCheckService is used to check the access rights.

Example

// Connection to the web service in charge of the site
IF SaaSConnect(EDT_USERNAME, EDT_PASSWORD) = False THEN
	IF ErrorOccurred = True THEN
		sErrorMessage = CR + ErrorInfo(errFullDetails)
		RETURN sErrorMessage
	ELSE
		RETURN "Connection to SaaS site denied."
	END
END

// Pass a specific syntax (without parameter) to specify that we are checking the access to the site
// The client has at least one valid subscription to at least one service of the site
IF SaaSCheckService() = False THEN
	IF ErrorOccurred = True THEN
		sErrorMessage = CR + ErrorInfo(errFullDetails)
		RETURN sErrorMessage
	ELSE
		RETURN "Connection to the SaaS service of the site denied."
	END
END

// Use the connection to the HFSQL Client/Server or Classic database
// defined in the SaaS administrator on the server, for the site data.
IF HChangeConnection("*", SaaSClientConnection()) = False THEN
	sErrorMessage = HErrorInfo(hErrFullDetails)
	RETURN sErrorMessage
END

RETURN "Connection OK"

Syntax

<Result> = SaaSConnect(<User> , <Password> [, <Web service>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the authentication was successful,
False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.

<User>: Character string

Connection name of the SaaS user.

<Password>: Character string or Secret string

Password of the SaaS user.
New in version 2025
Secret strings: If you use the secret string vault, the type of secret string used for this parameter must be "Ansi or Unicode string".
To learn more about secret strings and how to use the vault, see Secret string vault.

<Web service>: Optional character string

Web service to use. This parameter corresponds to:
the host name of the SaaS web service (for example, "Computer", "Computer.MyNetwork.com", "http://Mydomain.com").
the full URL of the SaaS web service (for example, "http://domain.com/WDSAAS300_WEB/WDSaaS300.awws").
By default, the connection will be established to the SaaS web service installed with the WEBDEV Application Server on the local computer.

Remarks

If SaaSConnect is run several times, an implicit disconnection is performed every time (SaaSDisconnect).
When the connection has been established with SaaSConnect, the SaaS web service periodically tests the validity of the connection by automatically calling SaaSIsConnected every 4 minutes.
If the authentication is successful, the next SaaSxx functions will implicitly use the SaaS account specified during the last call to SaaSConnect. The execution context will be closed by SaaSDisconnect.
To increase security, we recommend you to use the HTTPS protocol, both to access the page containing the call to SaaSConnect and in the URL of the web service. The server must be configured to accept this protocol.
If the web service is accessed in HTTPS, the SSL certificate used must not produce any security exception.
SaaSChangePassword is used to modify the password of the connected user.
