Problems with UpdateSessionOwner

Pål Hjelmeseth Myklebust

Hello, I am trying to change the owner of an session with the SOAP UpdateSessionOwner call, but can't seem to get it right.

This is my call:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:pan="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Panopto.Server.Services.PublicAPI.V40">

  <soapenv:Header/>

  <soapenv:Body>

   <tem:UpdateSessionOwner>

     <tem:auth>

      <pan:Password><password></pan:Password>

      <pan:UserKey><admin username></pan:UserKey>

     </tem:auth>

     <tem:sessionIds>d6484c52-25d2-49ea-92a5-afb900a98022</tem:sessionIds>

     <tem:newOwnerUserKey><new owner username></tem:newOwnerUserKey>

   </tem:UpdateSessionOwner>

  </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

I am getting: "An error occurred deserializing the message. See server logs for details" in return.

Do you see anything wrong? Is it the format of "sessionIds"? I see in the doc that it can be multiple values but I only want to change one session.

The Session ID (really Delivery ID) needs to be stored in an array / list of GUIDs. From the docs:

void UpdateSessionOwner(
	AuthenticationInfo auth,
	IEnumerable<Guid> sessionIds,
	string newOwnerUserKey
)

I'd be happy to know if you get it to work. :)

Any suggestion on how to write an array of sessionIds in the XML? What is the syntax?

Vegard Wallin

I don't know XML very well. I'd try enclosing the ID(s) like this:

<value>ID1</value><value>ID2</value> ...

but I really don't know if it's the correct syntax.

Thank you, I figured it out, this one worked:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:pan="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Panopto.Server.Services.PublicAPI.V40" xmlns:arr="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">

  <soapenv:Header/>

  <soapenv:Body>

   <tem:UpdateSessionOwner>

     <tem:auth>

      <pan:Password><password></pan:Password>

      <pan:UserKey><admin username></pan:UserKey>

     </tem:auth>

     <tem:sessionIds>

      <arr:guid>db954290-31ce-4ec5-bdfd-afbf013649c9</arr:guid>

     </tem:sessionIds>

     <tem:newOwnerUserKey><new owner username></tem:newOwnerUserKey>

   </tem:UpdateSessionOwner>

  </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>
