Create a class named MobiLinkAuth and write an authenticateUser method.

The MobiLinkAuth class includes the authenticateUser method used for the authenticate_user synchronization event. The authenticate_user event provides parameters for the user and password. You return the authentication result in the authentication_status inout parameter.

Use the following code for your server application:

using iAnywhere.MobiLink.Script;

public class MobiLinkAuth {
    public void authenticateUser(
        ref int authentication_status,
        string user,
        string pwd,
        string newPwd ) {

        if(user.StartsWith("128")) {
            // success: an auth status code of 1000
            authentication_status = 1000;
        } else { 
            // fail: and authentication_status code of 4000
            authentication_status = 4000;
        }
    }
}

This code illustrates a simple case of custom user authentication. Authentication succeeds when the client accesses the consolidated database using a user name that starts with 128.

Save your code.

This tutorial assumes c:\MLauth as the working directory for server-side components. Save the file as MobiLinkAuth.cs in this directory.

Compile your class file.
