Verification example
Section titled “Verification example”Create a test action with Identify for your provider. Compare its result before login, after a successful login and after logout. An unauthenticated request has no valid identity; its exact serialized representation can depend on the runtime and output handling.
Behavior and limits
Section titled “Behavior and limits”Identify reads state; it does not reject an unauthenticated caller. Add Security Restrict before private reads or writes. An identity is not proof that the user owns an arbitrary record id submitted by the page.
Use the complete authentication flow
Section titled “Use the complete authentication flow”Use the security and login guides for the surrounding provider, form, session and server-access configuration.
Check your result
Section titled “Check your result”You can configure the documented fields and distinguish a successful result from the failure or limitation described here.
