Important

This overload of the CreateUserPrincipal method is not supported on the WinForms platform. If called from a WinForms application, it throws the PlatformNotSupportedException.

Use this method overload to create a ClaimsPrincipal object for a user based on the user’s login token. It returns an AuthenticationResult object that exposes the following properties:

Succeeded

A boolean property that indicates whether or not the user was successfully resolved based on the token.

Principal

If the operation succeeds, this property contains the ClaimsPrincipal object (a collection of statements about the authenticated user) returned by the Security System.

Error

If the operation fails, this property contains the resulting Exception.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the CreateUserPrincipal method:

C#

using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Security;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
// ...
// Use Dependency Injection to access the IServiceProvider.
var signInManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<SignInManager>();
var principal = signInManager.CreateUserPrincipal(userAuthenticationToken);
