Mismatched server.version and rest_api_version

[cpare]

Describe the bug
When connecting to Tableau Server the RestAPI version is incorrect when using use_server_version=True

tableau_auth = TSC.PersonalAccessTokenAuth(tokenName, tokenSecret, siteName)
server = TSC.Server(serverUrl, use_server_version=True)
server.add_http_options({'verify': 'c:/temp/server.crt'})
print("Rest API version:", server.version)

I am seeing the output
Rest API version: 2.4

However, when I execute these lines

s_info = server.server_info.get()
print("\nServer info:")
print("\tProduct version: {0}".format(s_info.product_version))
print("\tREST API version: {0}".format(s_info.rest_api_version))
print("\tBuild number: {0}".format(s_info.build_number))

I get a completely different version of API reported

Server info:
Product version: 2023.1.16
REST API version: 3.19
Build number: 20231.24.0809.0841

v3.19 aligns with what I am seeing when manually calling GET /api/api-version/serverinfo

<tsResponse xmlns="http://tableau.com/api" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://tableau.com/api https://help.tableau.com/samples/en-us/rest_api/ts-api_2_4.xsd"> <serverInfo> <productVersion build="20231.24.0809.0841">2023.1.16</productVersion> <restApiVersion>3.19</restApiVersion> </serverInfo> </tsResponse>

Why is use_server_version=True not being respected? Is there a setting that needs to be adjusted in the IDE or on the server?

I also tried to detect the conflict and set it manually, but this doesn't seem to help.

if server.version < s_info.rest_api_version:
print(f'version mismatch, setting to {s_info.rest_api_version}')
server.version = s_info.rest_api_version

Self Resolved by checking the auth sample (thanks for posting that) I was updating the server.version before the connection, not after.
