Granta mi scripting toolkit 4.2 Login problem.

achuthc

How do we authenticate our logon with the granta mi scripting toolkit 4.2 python package? The connection is failing and not connecting to the server.
This is in the case of an academic institution with a license server

">>> mi = mpy.Session("https://my.server.name/mi_servicelayer", autologon=True)
"

This python code snippet doesn't execute and throws a connection failed error. I had substituted the correct server name and port for the code part bolded and underlined above.

I would like to know how to access the service layer.

This is most likely either a configuration issue with your MI installation, or an issue with the authentication mode. Your best first step would be to talk to either your local MI Administrator, or your Ansys ACE or Support contact.

In terms of other steps you can take to help diagnose the issue, the most important thing to check is can you access One MI or the MI Service Layer Homepage with a web browser?

Navigate to https://my.server.name/grantami or to https://my.server.name/mi_servicelayer and check whether you can log in (the latter may be disabled by your MI Administrator). While you're there, check if the padlock icon in your browser shows that the HTTPS certificate that MI is using is trusted by your machine, often MI is configured to use an internal certificate which may not be trusted by default.
