Public Function LoginUser (szRetURL As String, iTimeWindow As Integer, fForceLogin As Boolean, szCOBrandArgs As String, iLangID As Integer, strNameSpace As String, iKPP As Integer, fUseSecureAuth As Boolean, oExtraParams As Object) As Integer

Parameters

szRetURL
String

The URL to which the Login server should redirect users after sign in is complete. Pass null to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

iTimeWindow
Int32

The time value, in seconds. Pass -1 to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

fForceLogin
Boolean

true to have the Login server compare the iTimeWindow parameter against the time since the user last signed in; false to have the Login server compare iTimeWindow against the last time the Ticket was refreshed. Pass -1 to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

szCOBrandArgs
String

A string specifying variables to be appended as query string variables to the URL of the participant's Cobranding Template script page. Pass null to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

iLangID
Int32

A locale identifier (LCID) specifying the language in which the Login page should be displayed. Pass -1 to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

strNameSpace
String

A domain name space to which you want to direct users without Passports to register. The specified name space must appear as a "domain name" entry in the Partner.xml Component Configuration Document (CCD). The typical default name space is "passport.com". Pass null to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

iKPP
Int32

Pass -1 to indicate that Passport should use the default value. This parameter is only relevant when implementing Kids Passport service; however, Kids Passport service cannot currently support use of this method.

fUseSecureAuth
Boolean

SSL sign-in is not available as an option in the current version Login servers. Passport Manager methods include SSL sign-in parameters and they may be required for syntax, but they are currently ignored at the server. Check the Passport Web site for updates on the status of SSL sign-in. Pass -1 to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

oExtraParams
Object

Name-value pairs to be inserted directly into the challenge authentication header, specifically for Passport-aware authentication interaction. Pass null to indicate that Passport should use the default value.

Returns

An integer result code.

Examples

<!-- 
This example demonstrates implementing the soft sign-in authentication approach. 
In order for the example to work, the following requirements must be met. 
You can find details on these requirements in the Passport SDK documentation.

1. You must modify the Web.config file associated with this page so that 
authentication mode is set to "Passport".
2. You must have the Passport SDK installed.
3. You must have a Passport Site ID for the site where your page resides. 
If your Site ID is in the PREP environment, you will also need a PREP Passport.
4. You must have installed the encryption key you received after registering 
your site and receiving a site ID.
5. You must have the Passport Manager object settings correctly configured for 
your site.
