Remarks
This class implements the following authentication functionality for Direct Mailer:
DM Authentication module decrypts the AuthTicket verifying it is a valid ticket. If there is no auth ticket, the module returns without any additional processing. This is done when the AuthenticateRequest event is fired.
If the auth ticket is present and it is not valid, an exception is thrown.
If the auth ticket is valid:
The Logon name is retrieved from the AuthTicket. A GenericPrincipal with GenericIdentity is created. During new() of the GenericIdentity the name is obtained by making a profile system call to obtain the User Id from the logon name. The settings for this call as per the CommerceServer/profiles section of the web.config. The type of the GenericIdentity is a custom string that represents a "DM Authentication Type". This also populates the CommerceContext.Current.UserID and UserProfile keys so that they are available to site code.
GenericPrincipal is attached to HttpContext.Current.User – this allows ASP.NET to recognize the authentication and reuse the object.
