Detailed Description

The AuthenticationInfo.SchemeType enumerated type provides enumeration values for the set of valid authentication scheme types.


Member Enumeration Documentation

C# enum whose values can be used in switch statements.

Ordinals have no semantic meaning (your code should not rely on them).

Enumerator:
_UNKNOWN 

Special enumeration constant which is used to represent constants that do not exist in the current enum binding.

For example if a client sends a new constant to an older server, the server code will see this special constant, because its enum binding lacks the new constant.

SESSIONLESS 

Indicates that the scheme is a session less authentication scheme, the user is authenticated on every method.

There is no explicit session establishment.

SESSION_AWARE 

Indicates that the scheme is a session aware authentication scheme.

It requires an explicit login before executing a method and logout when a session terminates. A interface might choose to have a session aware scheme if it wants to associate some state corresponding to the user until the user logs out or if it wants to mitigate the cost of authenticating the user on every method.
