Implements the reverse-engineered v8 credential token in pure managed code and
wires the full event-connection auth chain. Live result: the v8 OpenConnection
now AUTHENTICATES against the 2023 R2 server (past the 132/171 AuthenticationFailed
wall) — the crypto is solved.
- HistorianNativeHandshake.DeriveExchangeKeyClientKey: client key = SHA256(ECDH
shared secret) via ECDiffieHellman.DeriveKeyFromHash(SHA256), matching the native
ECDiffieHellmanCng{Hash,SHA256}.DeriveKeyMaterial.
- BuildExchangeKeyCredentialToken + Rc4: token = RC4(password-UTF16LE, key=MD5(clientKey)).
Reproduces a live-captured token EXACTLY (verified offline) — the native
HistorianCrypto.NRC4_V2.aahCryptV2 scheme (MD5-keyed RC4). Pure managed; nothing
AVEVA shipped. RC4 pinned by the standard test vector.
- OpenSession(eventConnection:true): ExchangeKey -> derive client key -> token ->
v8 OpenConnection with ConnectionType=Event + the token. Orchestrator re-armed.
- HistorianAddTagsProtocol.SerializeCmEventEnsureTagsGrpc: the 86-byte native gRPC
CM_EVENT EnsureTags (8-byte header + ...2f27 event-type GUID), replacing the
2020 WCF 83-byte CTagMetadata on the gRPC event registration.
Goldens: RC4 standard vector + token construction. 326/326 offline.
KNOWN REMAINING: the event query still returns zero rows (GetNext yields a 10-byte
zero-row buffer). Auth + StartEventQuery succeed; the query-layer detail (vs the
native row-returning capture) is the last step. Gated test still pins the no-row
throw; opt-in diagnostic (HISTORIAN_GRPC_EVENT_DIAG) surfaces the journey.
