Container for user authentication in Photon. Set AuthValues before you connect - all else is handled.
On Photon, user authentication is optional but can be useful in many cases. If you want to FindFriends, a unique ID per user is very practical.
There are basically three options for user authentification: None at all, the client sets some UserId or you can use some account web-service to authenticate a user (and set the UserId server-side).
Custom Authentication lets you verify end-users by some kind of login or token. It sends those values to Photon which will verify them before granting access or disconnecting the client.
The Photon Cloud Dashboard will let you enable this feature and set important server values for it. https://www.photonengine.com/dashboard
