Specifies how principal and identity objects should be created for an application domain. The default is UnauthenticatedPrincipal.
Syntax
public enum PrincipalPolicy
Remarks
For performance reasons, the default principal and identity objects are not created until they are needed. If a principal is explicitly added to the current thread, a default principal is not created and the principal policy setting is ignored.
A trusted host can override the default principal policy by specifying another of these values using the AppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy) method of an AppDomain.
