How to connect to PIAFDatabase with credentials ?

[bob-notat]

Hello!

I've been using PIConnect 0.9.1 with Python 3.8 and Pythonnet 2.5.2 without issue. However, I recently migrated to Python 3.11, requiring an upgrade to Pythonnet 3.0.4 (as 2.5.2 is incompatible).

The following code, which worked perfectly before the migration, now throws an exception:

server_name = "XX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
server = PI.PIServer(server=server_name, username=username, password=password, authentication_mode=0)
server.default_server.Connect(*server._credentials)
PI.PIAFDatabase.servers['YY.YYY.YYY.YYY']['server'].Connect(*server._credentials)

The exception on the last line is:

TypeError: No method matches given arguments for PIServer.connect: (<class 'System.Net.NetworkCredential'>, <class 'int'>)

Upgrading PIConnect to 0.12.1 did not resolve the problem.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?
