Methods

  NameDescription
Public methodAuthenticate(AuthenticationToken)
Authenticates user by checking the supplied token against the authentication store that this manager represents. If token is invalid then UserKind.Invalid is returned. This method may populate user access rights completely or partially - depending on store implementation. If rights are computed on authentication than Authorize() just checks existing in-memory structure, otherwise Authorize() may re-fetch permissions from store on every call or cache them for the specified interval in memory
Public methodAuthenticate(Credentials)
Authenticates user by checking the supplied credentials against the authentication store that this manager represents. If credential are invalid then UserKind.Invalid is returned. This method may populate user access rights completely or partially - depending on store implementation. If rights are computed on authentication than Authorize() just checks existing in-memory structure, otherwise Authorize() may re-fetch permissions from store on every call or cache them for the specified interval in memory
Public methodAuthenticate(User)
Authenticates user by checking the supplied user's token against the authentication store that this manager represents. This method is called by the framework after User object was deserialized and it's Rights need to be re-fetched. If token is invalid then UserStatus.Invalid is set. This method may populate user access rights completely or partially - depending on store implementation. If rights are computed on authentication than Authorize() just checks existing in-memory structure, otherwise Authorize() may re-fetch permissions from store on every call or cache them for the specified interval in memory
Public methodAuthorize
Authorizes user by finding appropriate access level to permission by supplied path. Depending on particular implementation, rights may be fully or partially cached in memory. Note: this authorization call returns AccessLevel object that may contain a complex data structure. The final assertion of user's ability to perform a certain action is encapsulated in Permission.Check() method. Call Permission.AuthorizeAndGuardAction(MemberInfo, ISession) to guard classes and methods from unauthorized access
Public methodOnlineDispose
Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
(Inherited from OnlineIDisposable.)
