ConfigurationManager.Initialize method

The Initialize method initializes the administration environment, connects to the AD RMS server, and retrieves the appropriate role.

Syntax

ConfigurationManager.Initialize( _
  ByVal isHttps, _
  ByVal clusterName, _
  ByVal portNumber, _
  ByVal userDomain, _
  ByVal userId, _
  ByVal password _
)

Parameters

isHttps [in]

A Boolean value that indicates whether the connection is secure HTTP. If this value is True, specify 443 for the portNumber parameter.

clusterName [in]

A String value that contains the name of the AD RMS service that the client connects to.

portNumber [in]

An Integer value that contains the port number through which the client connects. To connect to a remote server by using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection, specify 443 for this parameter and set the isHttps parameter to True.

userDomain [in]

A String value that contains the user account domain name or an empty string. If this value is empty, the current domain name is used.

userId [in]

A String value that contains the user account ID. If this value is empty, the logon user account name is used.

password [in]

A String value that contains the user account password or an empty string. If the userID parameter is not empty, the correct password for that account must be specified. If the userID parameter is empty, the password is ignored and the logon user credentials are used.

Return value

0x0

No role is defined.

RoleAuditor

0x1

The auditing role is defined.

RoleTemplateEditor

0x2

The rights template editing role is defined.

RoleAdministrator

0x4

The administrator role is defined.

Remarks

The following objects are configured during the initialization process depending on the role value returned by the AD RMS server.

DIM admin_role
