Multiple Users for same Host

[TimScheiber]

Hi, I'm using Esri ArcGIS Runtime Version 100.15 (WPF) and I'm trying to integrate multiple WFS-"Maps" hosted on the same Server but with different Credentials. 

The URL to the Services look like this: "{sameHost}/wfs?map={differentMap}"

Each Map on this host requires different credentials.

I was wondering if ArcGIS AuthenticationManager always only relies on the Host-Name/Query or if I can reliably create different credentials per CredentialRequestInfo.ServiceUri (using AuthenticationManager.ChallangeHandler)?

Or is there a more elegant way to create multiple Credentials for the same Host?

Different credentials for the same host at the same time is not something that the maps sdk supports.

I'd be curious about the use-case for this, as we don't expect a user to be multiple different users at the same time.

Hi, the reason we want different credentials for the same host is that our GIS provider hosts multiple maps for different Customers on the same URL and only differentiates the maps by the "...?map={xyz}" parameter. 

Because a customer shouldn't be able to access a map of a different customer, each map requires different credentials. 

I'm trying to integrate maps from different customers, requiring different credentials for each.

I get why different maps are secured for different users. That makes total sense. Where I'm a bit confused is a scenario where a user wants to be signed in as multiple different users at the same time, and would just love to understand that a little better, in case there's something we're missing wrt supporting that

@dotMorten_esri  adding a use case:

Semi-offline app with database synced from FeatureServer with enabled versioning, with "version per each downloaded replica" enabled.

The app is used by multiple users (on the same PC, at different times, they authenticate with OAuth to AGE) and they all use the same local database. The database is large and it makes no sense to download it for each user separately. All of the users want to sync their work when their shift is over.

The replica version on the server is not visible to anyone but the user that first created the replica. I can make the version public but then it shows up everywhere. If I could use an admin user to manage the sync stuff, that would make my life easier.
