AuthenticationValue Property

Used to provide proof of authentication.

Syntax

 server.getAuthenticationValue([callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getAuthenticationValue([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setAuthenticationValue([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property is determined by the Access Control Server (ACS), and is filled after the call to SendAuthRequest (for a frictionless flow), or when the Results Request Message (RReq) is parsed using CheckResponse (for a challenge flow).

This property will be valid if the TransactionStatus is "Y" or "A". The value may be used to provide proof of authentication.

This property is read-only.
