Management of servers

AskiaPortalCmn API provides an generic and extensible mechanism to manage servers.

Because the types of servers could be very large and different, the API exposes an arbitrary property Type as a string.

Example of imaginable types smtp, sqlserver, dataserver, askiafield, askiavistaserver etc...

The connection string is the string that contains all the information required to connect on a server.

Because the Type of server is arbitrary, the API provide an helper property (ConnectionStringType) to indicates how to connect on that server ( ConnectionStringTypeDatabase, ConnectionStringTypeSocket, ConnectionStringTypeSmtp...).
