ESRI.ArcGIS.Client Namespace > IdentityManager Class > GetCredentialAsync Method : GetCredentialAsync(CredentialRequestInfos,Boolean,Action<Credential,Exception>,GenerateTokenOptions) Method

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

credentialRequestInfos: The information about the credential to get.

retry: Indicates if the method should make additional attempts to get the credentials after a failure (i.e. if true, the challenge method will be called in any case)

callback: The method called when the process getting a credential object is complete.

generateTokenOptions: The optional infos concerning the credential to generate (referer, proxyURL).

Returns a Credential object of the specified type (credentialRequestInfos.AuthenticationType) that can be used to access the secured resource identified by the input url (credentialRequestInfos.ServiceRestEndPoint). If required, the challenge method will be called and should return the expected credential object. If case of Token AuthenticationType, the user is typically challenged for a username and password which are used to generate a token. Then the IdentityManager sets up a timer to update the Credential object with a new token prior to the expiration time. This method is typically called internally when a request fails due to an "invalid credentials" error.
