wcf JSON deserialization

this
new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(results)
will not work with complex objects

you need to create objects

for example, this is the IManage Login JSON

[DataContract]

    public class IManageUser

    {

        [DataMember(Name = "email")]

        public string email { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "full_name")]

        public string full_name { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "user_id")]

        public string user_id { get; set; }

    }

    [DataContract]

    public class IManageLoginInfo

    {

        [DataMember(Name = "X-Auth-Token")]

        public string X_Auth_Token { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "max_age")]

        public int max_age { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "persona")]

        public string persona { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "user")]

        public IManageUser user { get; set; }

    }

then you could do something like this:

HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());

                results = sr.ReadToEnd();

                sr.Close();

                IManageLoginInfo info = null;

                using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(results)))

                {

                    DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(IManageLoginInfo));

                    info = (IManageLoginInfo)serializer.ReadObject(ms);

                }

                this.token = info.X_Auth_Token;

IManage groups

NOS values

• 6 - Active Directory
• 2 - Virtual

An external user or a user in an external group will only have access to workspaces that have explicit access. So public workspaces will not be visible for external users.

IManage work installation issues

we have a firewall that only allows calls to 443 and 80 ports
so you cant communicate to the IManage server unless ports 1080, 1081 are opened

Imanage uploading a file the second time

There is something that is very annoying with iManage concerning uploading documents

If you upload a document to a folder twice you will get 2 different documents , not a choice for overwriting or a new version

This is true if you drag and drop or use file upload

To get a new version you need to either

Or edit the doc and save as new version in imanage word plugin

This, BTW, is the default behavior in desk site, but you can change that in the registry

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\Common\Advanced
  Options
  Set the following DWORD value:
  Name: Default SaveAs Option
  Values:
  1 – The New Document option is selected by default.
  2 – The Replace Original option is selected by default.
  3 – The New Version option is selected by default.

In desk site there is a different problem in that when you upload a doc you have to fill the author (it’s not set  from the user who’s logged in) and it doesn’t figure out the class

In this instance the web is better
