Parameters

username  String

Username to be authenticated.

password  String

Password to be authenticated.

state  Byte

State value from a previous challenge response.

Return Value

The type of response packet (if any) will be one of the following:

• AccessAccept: If the authentication is successful.
• AccessReject: If the authentication is not successful.
• AccessChallenge: If the server need more information from the user.

When an AccessChallenge response packet is received from the server, it contains a State attribute that must be included in the AccessRequest packet that is being sent in response to the AccessChallenge response. So if this method returns an AccessChallenge packet, then this method is to be called again with the requested information (from ReplyMessage attribute) in the password field and the value State attribute.
