Authentication Service (Player Accounts)

By default, the CloudService will automatically authenticate as a Guest User, unless you disable Auto Login As Guest option in the CoherenceBridge inspector.

If you disable the automatic login, you can handle Player authentication manually through the CloudService.GameServices.AuthService API.

In this example, you can see how you can manually login as a Guest:

using Coherence.Cloud;
using Coherence.Toolkit;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using Result = Coherence.Runtime.Result;

public class LoginAsGuestExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CoherenceBridge bridge;

    private CloudService cloudService;

    void Start()
    {
        cloudService = bridge.CloudService;

        StartCoroutine(CheckRefreshLogin());
    }

    private IEnumerator CheckRefreshLogin()
    {
        IAuthClient authService = cloudService.GameServices.AuthService;

        while (!cloudService.IsConnectedToCloud && authService.SessionTokenRefreshResult == null)
        {
            yield return null;
        }

        // If refresh failed, we have to login as a guest again
        if (authService.SessionTokenRefreshResult == Result.InvalidCredentials)
        {
            var task = authService.LoginAsGuest();

            while (!task.IsCompleted)
            {
                yield return null;
            }
        }

        // At this point, we are ready to fully utilize the Cloud Service
    }
}

You can also choose to allow your users to create their own Player accounts, you can use the Authentication Service API in a similar fashion to allow for manual authentication:

using Coherence.Cloud;
using Coherence.Toolkit;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using Result = Coherence.Runtime.Result;

public class LoginAsUserExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CoherenceBridge bridge;

    public string username;
    public string password;

    private CloudService cloudService;

    void Start()
    {
        cloudService = bridge.CloudService;

        StartCoroutine(LoginAsAUser());
    }

    private IEnumerator LoginAsAUser()
    {
        IAuthClient authService = cloudService.GameServices.AuthService;

        while (!cloudService.IsConnectedToCloud && authService.SessionTokenRefreshResult == null)
        {
            yield return null;
        }

        // If refresh failed, we have to login as a user with the given credentials again
        if (authService.SessionTokenRefreshResult == Result.InvalidCredentials)
        {
            var task = authService.LoginWithPassword(username, password, true);

            while (!task.IsCompleted)
            {
                yield return null;
            }
        }

        // At this point, we are ready to fully utilize the Cloud Service
    }
}
