RE: Connections for a user

[Umesh Bhatt <um...@nuvepro.com>]

Hi,

I have created a connection container in my custom AuthProvider and keeping all created connections in it after creation. With this I am able to retrieve all connections for a user and also able to get the ConnectionID, which I want to use for shared connection.

Now how to get an event when user closes a connection so that I remove closed connection from my container as well?

Regards,
Umesh

I'm a little unclear what the difference is between "current connection"
and "list of all existing connections"?

The connection directory is cached by the AngularJS front-end, so sometimes there is a refresh required in order to get the newest information.  For example, if I have two tabs open in my browser and I edit connections in one of the tabs, I have to click the Reload button in the browser to get the connections refreshed in the other tab - simply connecting to another connection and going back home, or going to Settings and back home, won't load the new connection.

I'm not sure what you mean by this?
