Element Detail

AuthCert

An authentication certificate created upon login. This certificate is not signed because it is either used as a template for an authentication certificate produced by the +xns/Authentication/CertifySession message or used in a message for identity-to-identity communication. If another authentication certificate is created from this one, the new authentication certificate will be signed. If the authentication certificate is passed in an identity-to-identity message, then the authentication certificate does not need to be signed because the entire message will either be signed (or not) based on the security parameters of the two identities.  

DataType: +xns/Certification/AuthenticationCert
 


IdentityAddress

Address of the identity that established the session.
