                RevokeAuthorization
Packit 8ea169
              (void)
 

Disposes the current session object and drops all authorization tokens. If the client makes a further action, a new session object on the same path will be created.

                GenerateToken
Packit 8ea169
              (IN UInt32 period,  OUT String token);
 

This methods generates a string that can be used by another Session for authorization without prompting for password. The token can be used only once and only by the same user as the one that owns the Session object that generated the token. The token remains valid for a limited period of time. The method will fail if called on a Session object that is not authorize yet. In case the token will not be used, the token can be revoked by RevokeToken method. The method can be called only on a Session that is currently authorized.
