Parameters

bsUserName

User name of user created in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional User Manager

bsPasswd

Password for bsUserName

bsVaultName

Vault name

If your application is custom (i.e., it is not supplied or supported by SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional) and your application:

• logs into SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional
  - or -
• logs into a vault view
  - or -
• directly accesses a vault database

when the same user is not already logged into a local view, you must first call IEdmVault13::LoginEx or IEdmVault5::LoginAuto to comply with the SOLIDWORKS End User License Agreement (EULA). Call IEdmVault13::LoginEx or IEdmVault5::LoginAuto before calling this method to ensure that licenses are properly consumed by your application.

Call IEdmVault5::LoginAuto to log in as a user already logged into a vault view through File Explorer or into a vault through the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional client software. You do not need to specify a username and password when you call IEdmVault5::LoginAuto to share a license with the already logged-in user.

Return codes: 

• S_OK: The method successfully executed.
• E_EDM_ALREADY_LOGGED_IN: You are already logged into this vault.
• E_EDM_LOGIN_FAILED: You entered an invalid user name or password.
• E_EDM_CANT_OPEN_DATABASE: The database could not be opened.
