SO85R06: Web Sentry in Windows Client

RE: SO85R06: Web Sentry in Windows Client

The Win Sentry plugin system has not changed, only the Document plugin has (old COM doc plugin is no more, netserver plugin is used)
It is still COM based and requires the implementation of the ISentryPlugin and ISentryPlugin2 interface:
(GetFieldSecurity, GetProviderDetails, GetRowSecurity, GetTableList, GetFieldRights, GetTableRights, Initialize ...)

That said, one can write a combi sentry plugin i C# in a single file/dll.
The c# class must be COM enabled with [ComVisible(true)]

I would not necessarily recomment it because most probably you will be getting all the data again from the C# universe.
The Sentry plugin is very much called upon - very different to the Document plugin that is only needed when creating and opening a document.

Also, since the Win client is a hybrid and may use netserver, any Win client that has activated a com sentry plugin should also have a running plugin for the netserver part. Typically, BulkUpdate uses the netserver entities throughout. In this case, the Win COM sentry plugin never comes into it. Another example would be Quote.

Remember that these plugin dll must be registered and running on every local Win client.

Maybe you need to register the plug-in in the superoffice.config file, dynamic-load, or use the soloader in SoAdmin.exe and tick off the DLL.

Thank you so much, I had to activate both NetServer and Com Sentries for Windows Client.

Now it functions.
