Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Sub AuthenticateDevice ( _
responseToken As Byte() _
)

array<unsigned char>^ responseToken

Parameters
- responseToken
A response token generated from the challenge token retrieved from a previous call to the RetrieveDeviceAuthenticationData method.
Remarks
To authenticate a device, the application first calls the RetrieveDeviceAuthenticationData method to retrieve a challenge token from the device. The application then typically passes this token to another entity that has special knowledge of a shared secret and is able to create a proper response token. This response token is then passed as the response parameter to this method and the service uses it to validate the authentication request. If this method succeeds, the device enters the authenticated state and the service sets the DeviceAuthenticated property to true.
