ValidateLogin Method

Description

Validates the Login

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub ValidateLogin( _ ByVal bstrUserName As String, _ ByVal bstrPassword As String, _ ByVal bstrGroup As String, _ ByVal bstrUserRole As String, _ ByVal bstrDBUrl As String _ )

Parameters

bstrUserName: Specifies the UserName of the user to authenticate.
bstrPassword: Specifies the password of the user to authenticate.
bstrGroup: Specifies the group to which the user belongs. The default group is 'dba'.
bstrUserRole: Specifies the Role of the User in teamcenter.
bstrDBUrl: Specifies the server name to which the user wants to connect.

Remarks

The behavior of the authentication process depends on the display_alerts flag. If the display_alerts flag is ON then user will see the Login dialog where he can directly type in his userName, password, group, userrole and DatabaseUrl to authenticate him. If the user provides the wrong information then the value of the hr will return as S_FALSE. If the value of the display_alerts flag is OFF, then Validatelogin () method will use the userName, password, group, user role and DatabaseUrl that is supplied, to login into teamcenter. But this time, no login dialog will be shown and the login will be done silently.
