openBadgeSession

Opens a session with Identity Server that a user can log in to.

Web applications are "stateless" in nature, but for the login process to function properly, the UsherSessionInformation must be persisted (serialized) at the initial login request time and restored (deserialized) to verify whether a user logged on.

Returns

Depending on the needImage parameter, the QR code is returned as an image in base64-encoded .png format (TRUE) or as a string (FALSE).

Method signature

public UsherSessionInformation openBadgeSession(boolean needImage);
