Parameters
- credential
- entityManager
Remarks
If the credential parameter is null then a non-credential authentication will be attempted. If you are using Windows authentication you should pass a null credential to the EntityManager.Login(ILoginCredential). The HttpContext.Current.User information will be used to build a IdeaBlade.EntityModel.UserBase representing the current user.
To perform Forms authentication pass a credential, such as the IdeaBlade.EntityModel.FormsAuthenticationLoginCredential, to your login method on the EntityManager.
If the user fails authentication and anonymous logins are not supported a IdeaBlade.EntityModel.LoginException is thrown.
