Session Manager Acquire Clone Ticket

Session Manager Acquire Clone Ticket

Acquire a session-specific ticket string which can be used to clone the current session.

The caller of this operation can pass the ticket value to another entity on the client. The recipient can then call CloneSession with the ticket string on an unauthenticated session and avoid having to re-enter credentials.

The ticket may only be used once and becomes invalid after use. The ticket is also invalidated when the corresponding session is closed or expires. The ticket is only valid on the server which issued it.

This sequence of operations is conceptually similar to the functionality provided by AcquireLocalTicket, however the methods can be used by remote clients and do not require a shared filesystem for transport.

See also CloneSession.
