Photon requires server's to authenticate with the cloud before starting a server.
With playfab, there is only:
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPhotonAuthenticationToken(newGetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest()
In order to call this, however, you must first login.. so with some guidance I came across LoginWithServerCustomIdRequest.. This is fine, only I can't use IsClientLoggedIn after the ServerLoginResult or I get a null exception error..any advice on this situation?
if (login.AuthenticationContext.IsClientLoggedIn())
instead of
if (login.Request.AuthenticationContext.IsClientLoggedIn())
seems to work without error.. only I can't use it with ServerLoginResult, which sends me back to using client login api to authenticate servers.. which feels extremely silly to me:
I'm not a Photon expert, but GetPhotonAuthenticationToken API is designed for players to authenticate with Photon so that only authenticated players can join a lobby or create a session. For more details, see Photon quickstart - PlayFab.
If Photon does require servers to authenticate with the cloud, please refer to Photon's docs to implement it.
Thanks- it turned out to be either user error or photon correcting a previous mistake forcing servers to authenticate otherwise returning an error.
