Examples

The following code example shows how to create an Authorization object. For a complete example, refer to the AuthenticationManager class.

Remarks

Authorization(String, Boolean, String)

Source:

Authorization.cs

Creates a new instance of the Authorization class with the specified authorization message, completion status, and connection group identifier.

public:
 Authorization(System::String ^ token, bool finished, System::String ^ connectionGroupId);

public Authorization (string? token, bool finished, string? connectionGroupId);

new System.Net.Authorization : string * bool * string -> System.Net.Authorization

Public Sub New (token As String, finished As Boolean, connectionGroupId As String)

Parameters

token

String

The encrypted authorization message expected by the server.

finished

Boolean

The completion status of the authorization attempt. true if the authorization attempt is complete; otherwise, false.

connectionGroupId

String

A unique identifier that can be used to create private client-server connections that are bound only to this authentication scheme.
