Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodSetSessionIdentityOptions
Sets the specified authOptions as the AuthOptions for the session identity, enabling automatic authorization of the session identity during startup.

The session identity lifetime is tied to the session's lifetime, so it is guaranteed that the session identity will remain authorized during the entire duration of the session. The identity will be authorized before the session starts. The session will terminate if the identity fails to authorize or is revoked.

The session identity is used to send requests and make subscriptions if no other identity is provided.

By default the session identity is not authorized.

Public methodToString
Return the string representation of this object.
(Overrides ObjectToString.)

Remarks
Currently the following options are supported:
OptionDescription
ServerHostThe hostname or the ip address of where the ServerAPI is running
ServerPortThe port number of the ServerAPI process
MaxSendCacheSizeMaximum number of bytes that will be cached by the Session before requests will fail.
MaxEventQueueSizeThe maximum number of events that can be buffered by the Session. The value of MaxEventQueueSize must be greater than zero.
MaxPendingRequestsThe maximum number of requests that can be pending
AllowMultipleCorrelatorsPerMsgIf a message is to be delivered for multiple correlators then deliver one message with all correlators folded into that one message
SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMarkSet the fraction of 'MaxEventQueueSize' at which "slow consumer" events will be generated. A warning event will be generated when the number of outstanding undelivered events passes above 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'. The following is applicable 0.0 < slowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark <= 1.0. Further, at the time that Session.Start() is called, it must be the case that 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize' < 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'.
SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMarkSet the fraction of 'MaxEventQueueSize' at which "slow consumer cleared" events will be generated. A warning cleared event will be generated when the number of outstanding undelivered events drops below 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'. The following is applicable 0.0 <= SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark < 1.0. Further, at the time that Session.Start() is called, it must be the case that 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize' < 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'.
DefaultSubscriptionServiceThe name of the service to be used by default for subscriptions.
DefaultTopicPrefixThe name of the topic prefix to be used for subscriptions if one is not provided.
ConnectTimeoutTimeout in milliseconds for session to establish a connection
ClientMode See SessionOptionsClientModeType.
DefaultKeepAliveInactivityTime Amount of time in milliseconds without any read activity on the connection before the library will ping the peer (requires compatible server). Also see DefaultKeepAliveResponseTimeout.
DefaultKeepAliveResponseTimeout Timeout for the ping response in milliseconds. The peer will be declared "dead" if no ping response (or other data) is received within response timeout interval after the ping (requires compatible server). Also see DefaultKeepAliveInactivityTime.
KeepAliveEnabled Whether all keep-alive mechanisms, both from the client to the server and from the server to the client, should be enabled.
RecordSubscriptionDataReceiveTimes Should the receipt time (accessed via TimeReceived be recorded for subscription data messages.
TlsOptions Client credentials and trusted certificates to establish secure connection. By default plaintext connection is used. See TlsOptions.
ServiceCheckTimeoutTimeout, in milliseconds, for checking what version of the schema should be downloaded when opening a new service. The timeout value must be a positive integer. The default timeout is 60,000 milliseconds.
ServiceDownloadTimeoutTimeout, in milliseconds, for downloading the service schema when opening a new service. The timeout value must be a positive integer. The default timeout is 120,000 milliseconds.
BandwidthSaveModeDisabledFlag indicating whether the client has requested to override bandwidth saving measures, such as conflation for snapshot subscriptions. By default it is false.
SessionIdentityOptionsAuthorization options that enable automatic authorization of the session identity during startup.
ApplicationIdentityKey The application identity key (AIK) which uniquely identifies this application for this session.
SessionName The session name which can be used to identify the log lines pertaining to the session.
