Public Function SignInWithCredentials( _
   ByVal portalUri As Uri, _
   ByVal user As String, _
   ByVal password As String, _
   ByRef referer As String, _
   ByRef token As String _
) As Boolean

Parameters

portalUri: The uri of the portal to sign on to
user: The user name to use for credentails or null
password: The password to use for credentials or null
referer: The referer to use with the access token
token: The returned access token

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.InvalidOperationException	This method is for use in CoreHost applications only
System.ArgumentException	Invalid portal uri
SystemCoreException	General system core exception; for example if a conversion combination is not supported.

Remarks

For use in CoreHost applications only. A SystemCoreException will be thrown if signon fails.
CoreHost clients should not call this method in their code directly. Instead they should implement an ISignOnHandler that will be called back whenever a credential is required for a connection to a portal or online (e.g. a connection is being attempted to a federated feature service).
Use SetSignonHandler to set your sign on handler. Within the ISignOnHandler.GenerateCredentials callback, CoreHost clients should call SignInWithCredentials to sign on passing in the portal URI provided to you via the GenerateCredentials SIGNONHANDLERINFO.agoURL parameter. The token and referer are returned for convenience but there is really no need to use them in your code unless you want to make your own REST calls to the federated portal(s) directly. Underlying feature services will automatically aquire the generated access token without you needing to do anything further.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7
