System.Security.Principal.PrincipalPolicy Enumeration

Assembly: Mscorlib.dll
Namespace: System.Security.Principal
Summary
Specifies how principal and identity objects should be created for an application domain. The default is UnauthenticatedPrincipal.
C# Syntax:
[Serializable]
public enum PrincipalPolicy
Remarks
For performance reasons, the default principal and identity objects are not created until they are needed. If a principal is explicitly added to the current thread, a default principal is not created and the principal policy setting is ignored.

A trusted host can override the default principal policy by specifying another of these values using the AppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy method of an AppDomain.
