Client.id in FMS 4

Hello,
I have a live streaming application running on FMS4. The application  was working fine on FMS 3.5 we upgraded to FMS 4 and have some issues.  The problem is:
- we use a Java web app for managing business logic which comunicates through AMF with the SSAS app on FMS 4.
- the java app queries the Flash Administration Server for stream  stats. The Flash Admin returns in XML format data about the stream. One  node of the XML contains the publisher's id which looks something like  this: oAAFAAAA.
Suppose I want to disconnect the client, so I send a message to the  SSAS application running on FMS telling it to disconnect the client with  id oAAFAAAA. This was working on 3.5. The problem is that it appears  that client.id on SSAS side from version 4 returns a number, for example  4702111234558869871. So I cannot disconnect them. How can I solve the  naming id of the clients?
Thanks

Hi ,

We apologize for the inconsistency we have in FMS right now in context of Client.id which you have pointed out and which is affecting your workflow. We are aware of this issue and it’s already filed as bug.

In 4.0 we changed it to return what is displayed in access log so users can correlate between the two. It used to be a string representation of some internal id (not useful to end user).  Now it is the external id that

you see in the logs. We changed SSAS, Access & Auth to reflect and return id in new form but Admin API got left out & hence the bug.

Would you be kind enough to drop me an email to my id: rchari@adobe.com and giving your contact details & severity of this problem in your business workflow? I will send the same information to Engineering team - it might help them reassess priority of the bug and if possible get a fix in one of upcoming dot release.

Ah man, I came here to post about this same exact issue.  Is there no way to convert the the new Client.id value to the one expected by the admin API in actionscript?

for anyone else searching for how to do this conversion in AS, I found a hack workaround, using the LongInt class found here: http://code.google.com/p/lodgamebox/source/browse/trunk/com/lordofduct/util/LongInt.as

               var clientIDString:String = "4702111234525315439"; //should equal oAADAAAA

               

               var longInt:LongInt = new LongInt(clientIDString);

               var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

               longInt.writeToByteArray(bytes);

               bytes.position = 0;

               trace(bytes.toString())// prints AAAADAAo, so just need to reverse it
