TAuthManager class

TAuthManager performs user authentication and authorization for a Prado application. TAuthManager works together with a IUserManager module that can be specified via the UserManager property. If an authorization fails, TAuthManager will try to redirect the client browser to a login page that is specified via the LoginPage. To login or logout a user, call login or logout, respectively.

The AuthExpire property can be used to define the time in seconds after which the authentication should expire. AllowAutoLogin specifies if the login information should be stored in a cookie to perform automatic login. Enabling this feature will cause that AuthExpire has no effect since the user will be logged in again on authentication expiration.

To load TAuthManager, configure it in application configuration as follows, <module id="auth" class="System.Security.TAuthManager" UserManager="users" LoginPage="login" /> <module id="users" class="System.Security.TUserManager" />
