IMetadataProvider.NotifyUser Method (string, string, IDictionary)

Called by Lightstreamer Kernel through the Remote Server as a preliminary check that a user is enabled to make Requests to the related Data Providers. It is invoked upon each session request and it is called prior to any other session-related request. So, any other method with a User argument can assume that the supplied User argument has already been checked. 

The User authentication should be based on the user and password arguments supplied by the client. The full report of the request HTTP headers is also available; they could be used in order to gather information about the client, but should not be used for authentication, as they may not be under full control by client code. See also the discussion about the <use_protected_js> Server configuration element, if available. 

This method runs in the Server authentication thread pool, if defined.

string user 
A User name.

One pair is added by Lightstreamer Server; the name is “REQUEST_ID� and the value is a unique id assigned to the client request.

in case the User is known but is not enabled to make further Requests at the moment.
