Creating a Secure Connection to Key Services

To create a connection to an Pi Soft kS, use the TEConnection class as follows:

  1. Call the createInstance() method to create a smart pointer to a TEConnection object of SecureConnection type.
  2. Create a user authentication context and call the open() method of the TEConnection object to open a connection providing the server name, port number, and the context. For native user you can call the open() method of the TEConnection object with the server name, port number, username and password.
  3. Close it with the close() method when you have finished working with the connection.

The TEConnection object will be destroyed automatically when the smart pointer goes out of scope, so there is no need to delete it explicitly.
