[Paraview] Randomly generated connect ids not working

[Mark Van Moer]

Hello, 
I'm trying to get a server configuration working that's Case 11 with the additional connect-id from Case 7 on the wiki: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Server_Configuration

I get these errors:

ERROR: In ..\..\..\src\Servers\Common\vtkServerConnection.cxx, line 444
vtkServerConnection (00000000070804A0): Connection ID mismatch. Make sure to specify the right connection id on the server and client. This error can also occur if you have mismatching client and server versions even if you are not using connection ids.


ERROR: In ..\..\..\src\Servers\Common\vtkServerConnection.cxx, line 370
vtkServerConnection (00000000070804A0): Failed to authenticate with Data Server.


ERROR: In ..\..\..\src\Servers\Common\vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager.cxx, line 706
vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager (0000000003ED0030): Rejecting new connection.

This is ParaView 3.8.1, the client is on Win 7 64 bit, server is on a 64 bit intel cluster. The errors go away if I explicitly set the connect-id when launching the client and in the servers.pvsc file. eg., in servers.pvsc have:

<Option name="CONNECTID" label="ConnectionID" readonly="true">
          <Range type="int" min="1" max="65535" step="1" default="1234"/>
        </Option>

and launch with:

C:\Users\mvanmoer>"c:\Program Files\ParaView 3.8.1\bin\paraview.exe" --connect-id="1234"

Is there a step that I'm missing to enable using random connect ids?

Thanks,
Mark
