A Flex and .NET security primer

Flex client API

Flex client applications can set user's userid and password using the setCredentials method available in the RemoteObject class:

public function setCredentials( userid:String, password:String ) : void

The method sends credentials to the server to perform authentication of the user's identity. Once authenticated, all subsequent invocations use the user identity. To remove credentials and thus log out the user, use the logout( ) method available in the RemoteObject class:

public function logout() : void

It is important to keep in mind that the credentials are applied to all services connected over the same ChannelSet.
