Authenticate

The Authenticate method finalizes the login sequence and generates an authentication token.

string Authenticate(
    byte[] challenge,
    byte[] proof
    )

Parameters

challenge

Challenge value obtained with a prior call to the GetChallenge method

proof

Password proof (see Remarks)

Returns

Authentication token if login was successful, null otherwise.

Remarks

The password proof value is computed as follows:

proof = SHA-256(challenge, SHA-256(passwordSalt, UTF-8(password)))

Here password is the plain-text user password, passwordSalt is the password salt obtained with a call to GetChallenge, and challenge is the challenge value returned by the same call to GetChallenge.
