Configure an ADO.NET Connection to a Client Restricted Server
OEM installations of the TDV Server that have a client-restricted license might require that all client connections with TDV present a valid session token to negotiate the connection. Only clients submitting a valid session token are able to connect with client-restricted OEM TDV Servers.
The ADO.NET client uses the TDV ADO.NET driver to connect with TDV. The ADO.NET client must incorporate a valid session token into the connection string for the license restricted OEM TDV Servers.
To provide a valid session token
1. Locate the sessionToken string value, sent with the TDV Server license file, that enables licensed OEM use of the TDV Server through authorized clients.
2. Add the sessionToken into the ADO.NET client ConnectionString field so that the string is reported like the following:
host=10.1.2.123;port=9401;domain=composite;dataSource=TEST;sessionToken=ffa29823a2a8e340f20f15048aeebced746387d235abc12;
