public virtual IdentityToken GetToken(
	CloudIdentity identity,
	bool forceCacheRefresh = false
)

Parameters

identity
Type: net.openstack.Core.Domain.CloudIdentity
The identity of the user to authenticate. If this value is null, the authentication is performed with the DefaultIdentity.

Type: System.Boolean
If true, the user is always authenticated against the server; otherwise a cached IdentityToken may be returned.

Return Value

Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
NotSupportedExceptionIf the provider does not support the given identity type.
InvalidOperationExceptionIf identity is null and no default identity is available for the provider.
ResponseExceptionIf the authentication request failed.
Remarks
If forceCacheRefresh is false and a cached IdentityToken is available for the specified identity, this method may return the cached value without performing an authentication against the server. If forceCacheRefresh is true, this method returns the equivalent of the following statement.

provider.Authenticate(identity).Token
