Hello,

I've got a problem with the AuthenticatedLicenseProvider.Reauthenticate method.

I'm calling this method on application's startup to proof if the installed license is still valid.

The problem is, that if a user opens and closes the application in short intervals, the method returns "null" although the license should be valid.

If i try it later again, the method returns the expected authenticated license.

Is this a protective mechanism or something similiar?

And if yes, can I increase the count of "reauthenticate"-calls before the mechanism will take effect?

Yours faithfully

If you are using Version 5 of ILS or earlier then the Reauthenticate method has Denial of Service (DoS) protection turned on by default. This means that if there are too many calls within a specified period from a single IP address then the method will not execute and just returns null. You can control the DoS settings using the parameters in the Web.Config file for the Authentication Service. To turn off DoS altogether set CheckCallerIP to False. You can also change the number of allowed calls (by default 10) or the period over which these calls are allowed (by default 60 seconds).

In Version 6 DoS protection is only used for the Authenticate method - to prevent brute force attacks.
