Authenticating Your Users

Abstract

In the next set of chapters, you’ll look at some of the security-related aspects of LightSwitch. You’ll start with authentication, the process that determines the identity of your user. This is perhaps the most important part of LightSwitch security. Unless you can correctly identify your user, you won’t be able to restrict what users can do in your application. You also won’t be able to apply any useful security auditing, because you’ll be missing a key piece of information.
