For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This class provides an IIdentity that is not considered authenticated. This allows a site to recognize a user without treating the user as authenticated.

Namespace:  Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime
Assembly:  Microsoft.CommerceServer.Shared (in Microsoft.CommerceServer.Shared.dll)

Public Class NonAuthenticatedIdentity _
    Inherits GenericIdentity

Dim instance As NonAuthenticatedIdentity
[SerializableAttribute]
public class NonAuthenticatedIdentity : GenericIdentity
[SerializableAttribute]
public ref class NonAuthenticatedIdentity : public GenericIdentity
public class NonAuthenticatedIdentity extends GenericIdentity

Remarks

The most common use case is when a returning user is recognized by a cookie. The site will want to hide sensitive information from the user in case the computer is being used by someone else. The site can ask for a password from the user before displaying sensitive information.
