Exceptions
| Exception | Description |
|---|---|
| System.ArgumentNullException | Thrown if try to set the AuthenticationContext to a null value. |
Remarks
When using the default context, a single login - on either the EntityManager or the Authenticator - will set the AuthenticationContext used throughout the application.
An EntityManager can use its own AuthenticationContext if it requires credentials separate from other EntityManagers within the application. Set the EntityManagerOptions.UseDefaultAuthenticationContext to false, and call Login. If you call Authenticator.Login directly, be sure to set the AuthenticationContext to the returned value.
The AuthenticationContext will be null if a Login has not been done.
