User authentication without PIN code

In the V8Preview7 API, you can now confirm actions for users without a PIN. But this will require a special license.

Each plugin instance must have its own unique ClientId of type Guid. At startup, the plugin should grab the license slot with the module 21057201, calling the method ILicensingService.AcquireSlot and passing on your ClientId. The result of the method execution should be remembered by the plugin and displayed when the plugin terminates. This licensing scheme is described in more detail in the article “Licensing”, chapter “Fee for external connection to the plugin”.

Next, to authenticate without a PIN code, you need to call the method IOperationService.AuthenticateByUser, passing the user into it IUser and ClientId of the given plugin instance used to capture the license with module 21057201. This method will return an object ICredentials, with which you can continue working as before (similar to method IOperationService.AuthenticateByPin).

Thus, the client needs to issue as many slots for the module 21057201 as there are instances of plugins (plugins can be different) that use user authentication without a PIN code.
