Remarks
If your netFORUM implementation allows customers to have duplicate primary email addresses, then by definition primary email address can not always be used
as a means of uniquely identifying a customer. This method will throw an InvalidOperationException exception if this ambiguity is encountered.
NetFORUM does support the use of passwords to differentiate between customers sharing a primary email address, but use of this feature opens
up a host of possible security problems and is not recommended.
If allowPasswordBasedDisambiguation is set to true and this ambiguity is encountered, Ignition will ask netFORUM
to check password against each account sharing the provided primaryEmailAddress and,
if exactly one successful match is found, this method return true, and populate authenticatedCustomer
with the appropriate customer. If more than one account sharing a primaryEmailAddress also shares the same password,
an exception will be thrown.
