True if the link was madeRemarks
When called, the IAuthenticationManager can link its credentials to the target EntityManager. If the IAuthenticationManager does not have credentials, or authenticated credentials, it should return false to indicate that the target EntityManager should try the usual Login processing for an anonymous user. If credentials are available, the EntityManager.LinkForAuthentication method can be used to link credentials.
