This structure is used to uniquely identify a client. Clients can be identified by ClientNumber or ClientUid. When specifying a PwsClientRef as an input to a web service, you may specify one or both the ClientUid and ClientNumber. However, if you do specify both, they must both refer to the same client or the client reference will not be considered valid. When a PwsClientRef is returned in the response to a web service, both the ClientUid and ClientNumber will be populated, and guaranteed to refer to a single client.

Element	Data Type	Description	Sample Data
ClientId	Int32	Client Id. For internal use only.

ClientUid	Int64	The client Uid is a unique and immutable identifier for a client.	1152921504606989814
