Code Examples

The following example searches for a specific Certificate, identified by the CertificateID (a unique guid), and updates a value.

namespace CodeSample.Microsoft.SystemCenter.SMA
{
    public class SMASamples
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // Replace this with the name of your SMA web service endpoint.
            string serviceEndPoint = "https://sma-server:9090/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";

            // Setup the connection to SMA
            OrchestratorApi SMAService = new OrchestratorApi(new Uri(serviceEndPoint));

            // Set credentials to the default or to a specific user.
            ((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            //((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd", "domain");
            
            try
            {
                // Identify a specific certificate instance to search for.
                var certificateID = new Guid("d5db8755-c6d8-43c1-bdff-df0cc632b1df");

                // Query for the specific certificate instance identified by CertificateID.
                var certificate = SMAService.Certificates.Where(r => r.CertificateID == certificateID).FirstOrDefault();

                // Initialize variables to specify new certificate values = path and password are required to instantiate the x509 certificate instance.
                string certificatePath = "c:\\sma\\certs\\fabrikam.cer";
                string certificatePassword = "password";  // SecureString password
                string certificateDescription = "Certificate description v2";

                // Create a x509 certificate instance to work with.
                var x509Certificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword, X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);

                // Modify certificate instance properties.
                certificate.RawValue = Convert.ToBase64String(x509Certificate.Export(X509ContentType.SerializedCert, certificatePassword));
                certificate.Thumbprint = x509Certificate.Thumbprint;
                certificate.Description = certificateDescription;

                // Update the certificate object.
                // Note: This action is queued up until the SaveChanges action is called.
                SMAService.UpdateObject(certificate);

                // Save all pending actions (client -> server communication initiated).
                SMAService.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
            }
        }
    }
