Authentication

DOTSNET supports all types of authentications.

Inherit from NetworkClientAuthenticatorSystem and override BeginAuthentication to initiate the handshake from the client. Usually you would send a LoginMessage with username & password to the server.

Inherit from NetworkServerAuthenticatorSystem and call SetAuthenticated after the LoginMessage was finished, which flags the connection as authenticated. Messages that require authentication will be handled for this connection afterwards.

You can also send several handshake messages back and forth. Simply call SetAuthenticated once it’s done.Note that connections are authenticated by default, unless you inherit from NetworkServerAuthenticatorSystem.
