RPC HELP Silent Login
Silent Login
Silent Login is a way to log in a user with known login information. Silent Login skips the step of asking the user for login information. It is similar to Auto Signon in some ways, but there are important differences.
Silent Login Compared to Auto Signon
In Auto Signon, the Client Agent manages the login process on the client. On a primary login (i.e., no existing connections), the user is prompted for Access and Verify codes. On secondary logins, the Client Agent handles the login with the information from the primary login. Developers do not have access to the Auto Signon process.
NOTE: For more information on Auto Signon, see the "RPC Broker Systems Manual."
Silent Login offers developers an opportunity to skip the login process for the user if they have access to login information from some other source. It is up to the developer to deliver the appropriate login information to the application and enable the Silent Login process.
Interaction Between Silent Login and Auto Signon
On primary login, Silent Login happens if it is enabled (the KernelLogIn property is set to False and the AccessCode, VerifyCode and Mode properties of the LogIn property are set or the AppHandle and Mode properties are set). On secondary logins, the Client Agent, if enabled, handles the login and the Silent Login is bypassed. In other words, if there already is a connection and the Client Agent is enabled, the Silent Login information is not used.
NOTE: The "XUS SIGNON SETUP" RPC is called before a normal login or a Silent Login and if it identifies the user via Client Agent at the IP address, that identification is used to log the user in.
