Incorrect browse to, or browse setting - when loading tenant

I notice when I load a tenant, then second click over a list 'open default browser', and also 'Browse settings page' of object, it defaults to https://name-admin.sharepoint.com, instead of name.sharepoint.com (e.g. should be RootSiteUrl in Tenant Object).
Maybe loading a site is OK, but only tested loading a tenant.
Hope this helps.

Could not load file or assembly

Just downloaded the latest version and when I start the application, I get a popup stating that it cannot load Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime version 15.0.0.0.

The message continues with Strong name validation failed.

I've tried this on a virtual machine without SharePoint and a virtual machine with SharePoint.

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime is in the same folder as the application.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks

Constant request to relogin with Office 365

Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

Click Add Site

Click OK
I couldn't log in as I forgot the password, so I closed the Office 365 login dialog
Once I closed it, it opened again, and I was stuck in that loop (close, open, close, open)

Cannot connect to SP Farms Using ADFS 3.0 Authentication

I have all of our farms configured to authenticate using ADFS, but neither the default option or the forms based options seem to work in this scenario I am just getting a 403 Forbidden error message. After looking at the logs for ADFS and SP the app seems to bypass the ADFS authentication and tries immediately to authenticate using the integrated authentication (which is technically made available on our web apps to allow search to crawl). If I select Forms Based, it tells me that the it is not configured for claims form based authentication.

Has anyone got this tool to work with ADFS authentication set up?

Saved credentials for opening a tenant

We would like to use "SharePoint Online Client Browser" (SPOLCB) for developers that do not have tenant admin access.

Can you please confirm two points:

SPOLCB provides read-only access, right? I.e.. There is no way changes can me made using it.
Where and how the password is stored? Is there a way a user can "reveal" the password? Please see attached screenshot.

Code generation

Hi, I have used your project to create a code generator, if you are interested I can share with you the code, it is very simple. I think it can be interesting, for example you can use it to create the CRUD code for your lists, imagine that you always have to create the same code for getting items in your lists with CSOM, why do you repeat it again if you can generate it? I attach an example of creating the code to get a listitemcollection and convert them to a model from mine.

Client Assembly Reference Issue

When using SPCB on a SP 2013 Server it always pulls the client assemblies off the GAC and I do not see any way to change this (e.g. by setting a property in the .config file).

My issue is that I just want to unzip the SPCB package to test new things, like the SPWeb.AlternateCSS property. To access this property I need a certain build of the client components and I expected that SPCB is using those provided in its own directory not requiring me to update the server first.

Currently I have to fire up another VM with Windows client, without SP server, to run SPCB with the latest client components and test my stuff. That's a real PITA just for running some test against the REST api with the SP2013 client components.

Would be great if I could either put a checkbox to always use the local client components (those in the same directory as SPCB.exe) or the globally deployed assemblies in the GAC.

Thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Sig

I looked into the code for method GetBrowsers, trying to run it on my environment and find that it fails under line
RegistryKey browserKeyPath = browserKey.OpenSubKey(@"shell\open\command");
var Path = (string)browserKeyPath.GetValue(null).ToString();

browserKeyPath is null, that's why null reference is thrown. I looked into my regedit and find that I have mystic Tourch browser installed without shell\open\command subtree. (see attach). After deleting all works fine. I think it will be good if you can include additional check in your code to prevent such situations.

Thanks!
