Access other topics through write plugin

Question

We wrote a write plugin to copy language level metadata from the previously released language to the newly created one. This requires getting access to an object which didn't invoke the write plugin. In trying to do that I get an error for authentication. We are using ADFS for our security. How can I refuse the token, to authenticate to access other objects in the repo?

Dear Akheil,

Please find below the assemblies you should reference in your IWritePlugin project.

- Trisoft.Infoshare.API25 (Trisoft.Infoshare.API25.dll)
- Trisoft.Infoshare.API20 (Trisoft.Infoshare.API20.dll)
- Trisoft.Infoshare.API.Enumarations (Trisoft.Infoshare.API.Enumarations.dll)
- Trisoft.Infoshare.API.Interfaces (Trisoft.Infoshare.API.Interfaces.dll)

These assemblies are available on an installed environment in the following path:
<drive-letter>:\Infoshare\AppCore\Common
Or on a CD package in the following path (taken from OOTB 12.0.4 CD):
<drive-letter>:\20170528.CD.InfoShare.12.0.4128.4.Trisoft-DITA-OT\Applications\Common

This will allow you to utilize the available API wrapper functions with the currently used token.
Example code which will return properties of your own (currently used) user account:

public static IshObject GetMyMetadata(string reqMetadata) {
string xmlUser = string.Empty;
XDocument userList = null;

using (Trisoft.InfoShare.API25.User userClient = new Trisoft.InfoShare.API25.User()) {
userClient.GetMyMetadata(reqMetadata, out xmlUser);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(xmlUser)) {
userList = XDocument.Parse(xmlUser);
}
}

return userList;
}

Kind Regards,

Raf
