ILocalUser.Authenticate

function Authenticate (callback : System.Action<bool>) : void

Description

Authenticate the local user to the current active Social API implementation and fetch his profile data.

This should be done before any other calls into the API. Depending on the platform this might trigger a blocking dialog for providing login details.

Social.localUser.Authenticate (success => {
if (success) {
Debug.Log ("Authentication successful");
string userInfo = "Username: " + Social.localUser.userName +
"\nUser ID: " + Social.localUser.id +
"\nIsUnderage: " + Social.localUser.underage;
Debug.Log (userInfo);
}
else
Debug.Log ("Authentication failed");
});

Using javascript the same code would be:

Social.localUser.Authenticate (function (success) {
if (success) {
Debug.Log ("Authentication successful");
var userInfo : String = "Username: " + Social.localUser.userName +
"\nUser ID: " + Social.localUser.id +
"\nIsUnderage: " + Social.localUser.underage;
Debug.Log (userInfo);
}
else
Debug.Log ("Authentication failed");
});
