GetTokenFromUserInfo¶

Generates an authentication token based on user information. If the user is not found and auto-registration is enabled for the logon provider, the user is automatically created, and an authentication token is returned for the newly registered user. Otherwise, the method returns an authentication token for an already registered user.

The generated token is only used for login purposes and cannot be used as a session token. You may pass this token to the auth parameter to authenticate users and system will issue a new session token for the user.
