clientId

public volatile java.lang.String clientId

Id used to uniquely identify a client session.

You can use it for instance to keep track of session specific resources and clean them up when you are notified of the session ending in your ClientSessionEndListener. Note that the HttpSession id cannot be used in place of clientId because the same client session can involve multiple Http sessions.

clientId is only set by the framework when UserSession is accessed in one of two ways:

1. Within a Java service method for which your corresponding Flex proxy class extends BaseProxy, as shown in the SDK samples.
2. Or within a DataProviderAdapter or PropertyProviderAdapter (in which case the proxy is the one from Data Access Manager).

ClientSessionEndListener

samlTokenXml

public volatile java.lang.String samlTokenXml

The XML value of the SAML Token for the local domain representing the current user. A plug-in can use that information to check the user's authentication if necessary. See the vSphere Single Sign-On documentation.

samlTokenXml can be null if for some reason the UserSession didn't use a proper SSO authentication, but this should not happen in production mode.
