AuthenticationSession Class

Defines a session for authentication.

Namespace

System.Net.Security

Assembly

System.Net.dll

Syntax

public sealed class AuthenticationSession

Remarks

The AuthenticationSession class represents an authentication session. This class is typically used internally by the .NET Framework to manage the state of an authentication process, such as Kerberos or NTLM, between a client and a server. It encapsulates information about the security context, credentials, and other relevant data required to maintain a secure authenticated connection.

Developers generally do not interact with this class directly. It serves as a foundational component for higher-level classes like System.Net.Security.NegotiateStream, which handle the complexities of network authentication protocols.
