ISecurityManager Authenticate Method (AuthenticationToken)NFX Class Library

[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

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
