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

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

url: The url for the secure resource.

retry: Indicates if the method should make additional attempts to get the credentials after a failure (i.e. if true, the user will be challenged 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 that can be used to access the secured resource identified by the input url. If required the user will be challenged for a username and password which is used to generate a token. 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.
