Class User
This class represents a user on the Realm Object Server. The credentials are provided by various 3rd party providers (Facebook, Google, etc.). A user can log in to the Realm Object Server, and if access is granted, it is possible to synchronize the local and the remote Realm. Moreover, synchronization is halted when the user is logged out. It is possible to persist a user. By retrieving a user, there is no need to log in to the 3rd party provider again. Persisting a user between sessions, the user's credentials are stored locally on the device, and should be treated as sensitive data.

Methods
| Improve this Doc View SourceConfigurePersistence(UserPersistenceMode, Byte[], Boolean)
Configures user persistence. If you need to call this, be sure to do so before accessing any other Realm API.
Declaration
public static void ConfigurePersistence(UserPersistenceMode mode, byte[] encryptionKey = null, bool resetOnError = false)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
UserPersistenceMode | mode | The persistence mode. |
System.Byte[] | encryptionKey | The key to encrypt the persistent user store with. |
Boolean | resetOnError | If set to |
Remarks
Users are persisted in a realm file within the application's sandbox.
By default User objects are persisted and are additionaly protected with an encryption key stored in the iOS Keychain when running on an iOS device (but not on a Simulator). On Android users are persisted in plaintext, because the AndroidKeyStore API is only supported on API level 18 and up. You might want to provide your own encryption key on Android or disable persistence for security reasons.
