.NET user won't authorize

[PunkStarStudios]

Issue Description

I am able to authorize a user via REST and OSX just fine. But I am building VB.NET application (VS2015) to no avail.
I am greeted "Invalid response from server"

Steps to reproduce

Imports Parse
....
Private Async sub fromMain_Load(sender as Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim myConfig as ParseClient.Configuration
myConfig.ApplicationId = "myid"
myConfig.WindowsKey = "mydotnetkey"
myConfig.Server = "https://myserver/myapp"
ParseClient.Initialize(myConfig)
Try
Await ParseUser.LogInAsync("Dave","dave")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

If I add a "/" to the end of the server address I get an "unauthorized" message back.

Expected Results

CurrentUser to be set

Actual Outcome

ex.Message = "Invalid response from server" after the LogInAsync is called

Environment Setup

• Server

  • parse-server version (Be specific! Don't say 'latest'.) : 2.3.7
  • .net SDK installed via nuget 1.7
  • Operating System: Win10, VS2015, VB,
  • Hardware: Asus desktop
  • Localhost or remote server? Server running on Ubuntu 14.04

• Database

  • MongoDB version: 3.0.14
  • Storage engine: Mongo locally installed
  • Hardware: ASUSTeK rack server X86_64, P9D-M Series
  • Localhost or remote server? (AWS, mLab, ObjectRocket, Digital Ocean, etc): Local

Logs/Trace

Include all relevant logs. You can turn on additional logging by configuring VERBOSE=1 in your environment.
Cleaned out logs, ran .NET program again. no logs

Again - it works fine via REST and OSX (using same ApplicationID and server - albeit different client keys of course).

What keys did you set on parse-server? did you provide a dotNetKey?

[PunkStarStudios]

Use use the "clientKey" for OSX, "restAPIKey" for RESTful, and the "dotNetKey" for the .Net app.
I also tried using the clientKey for the .Net app as well - just in case - but no luck.

(The example above I just put in placeholders - but in real life ;P ... I Copy/Paste the correct keys into the app directly from the Index.JS file setup for that parse server instance)

I assume the "WindowsKey" in the configuration parameter that is supposed to be filled in with the dotNetKey from the server instance.

Can someone post a "Startup" project for VB or c# that works with pointing to your own parse server?
All the sample projects in the code base are 1= years ago and are made to point to parse.com.

[PunkStarStudios]

Well - something just started working.
Like really? ;P
I did have to add a "/" to the end of the server address btw.

Damn you beat me to it!!!!!

You need to add "/" at the end. In the sdk all calls append the remaning url to the server url.
So if you have https://myserver/myapp it will turn it to https://myserver/myappclass/Test/post instead of https://myserver/myapp/class/Test/post.

I swear - I swear I tried that before.
I know I did.
But I also found an error in my parse server configuration at one point... I had the variable name dontnetKey instead of dotnetKey.
I crapped a brick when I saw that and was looking for a way to get up on the roof after missing that for 2 weeks.
But after fixing that and trying both with and without the "/" - I still couldn't authenticate. (yes - I stopped and stopped the parse server - but maybe something was cached somewhere)

BUT.... here we are here today. It's all working now.

Hahaha yas!!!!
Weird i just type random stuff into the dotnetkey string and it works. Maybe its different because you are not a unity project.
