System.IdentityModel.Services Namespace

Contains classes that are used in applications built using Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) that perform federated authentication with the WS-Federation protocol. It contains the HTTP Modules, WSFederationAuthenticationModule (WSFAM) and SessionAuthenticationModule (SAM), as well as classes that support their operation. The WSFAM provides handling for the WS-Federation sign-in and sign-out sequences and the SAM provides session management by maintaining and handling cookies. The namespace also contains classes that represent WS-Federation messages (WSFederationMessage), such as sign-in (SignInRequestMessage, SignInResponseMessage) and sign-out messages (SignOutRequestMessage), as well as serializers that serialize and deserialize between the object model and the on-the-wire representations of these messages.

Classes

AsynchronousOperationException	The exception that is thrown when an error occurs during an asynchronous operation.
AttributeRequestMessage	Represents a WS-Federation Attribute Request message. This message is created when the wa parameter in the received message is "wattr1.0".
AuthorizationFailedEventArgs	Provides data for the AuthorizationFailed event.
ChunkedCookieHandler	Represents a cookie handler that writes cookie data so that cookies never exceed a set size.
ChunkedCookieHandlerElement	Represents the <chunkedCookieHandler> configuration element.
ClaimsAuthorizationModule	Represents an HTTP module that performs claims-based authorization.
ClaimsPrincipalPermission	Represents a permission that uses a ClaimsAuthorizationManager implementation to determine if access to a resource should be granted to the active principal. This class cannot be inherited.
ClaimsPrincipalPermissionAttribute	Represents a security attribute used to declaratively assign access checks based on the logic provided by the ClaimsAuthorizationManager instance in the current application context. This class cannot be inherited.
CookieHandler	Provides an abstract base class for reading, writing, and deleting session cookies on an HTTP client.
CookieHandlerElement	Represents the <cookieHandler> configuration element.
ErrorEventArgs	Provides data for the SignOutError event.
FederatedAuthentication	Provides access to state pertinent to all HTTP modules relevant to federated authentication in the web application.
FederatedAuthenticationSessionEndingException	Indicates that the sign-in session should being terminated, and the current request is unauthenticated.
FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations	A utility class that encapsulates the operations typically performed by a Federated Passive Security Token Service.
FederatedSessionExpiredException	The exception that is thrown when a session has expired.
FederationException	Base class for exceptions raised in WS-Federation support.
FederationManagement	Defines static methods for creating Federation Metadata documents and for updating application configuration based on Federation Metadata documents.
FederationMessage	Defines the base class from which all federation message classes derive.
HttpModuleBase	The base class from which HTTP modules that are configurable with the <system.identityModel.services> element (SystemIdentityModelServicesSection) derive.
MachineKeyTransform	Protects session tokens with the cryptographic material specified in the <machineKey> section of the web.config or machine.config configuration file.
PseudonymRequestMessage	Represents a WS-Federation Pseudonym Request message. This message is created when the received message wa parameter is "wpseudo1.0".
RedirectingToIdentityProviderEventArgs	Provides data for the RedirectingToIdentityProvider event.
SecurityTokenReceivedEventArgs	Provides data for the SecurityTokenReceived event.
SecurityTokenValidatedEventArgs	Provides data for the SecurityTokenValidated event.
ServiceCertificateElement	Represents the <serviceCertificate> element in a configuration file.
SessionAuthenticationModule	Implements an ASP.NET module that processes session cookies in WS-Federation scenarios.
SessionSecurityTokenCreatedEventArgs	Provides data for the SessionSecurityTokenCreated event and for the SessionSecurityTokenCreated event.
SessionSecurityTokenReceivedEventArgs	Provides data for the SessionSecurityTokenReceived event.
SessionSecurityTokenResolver	Resolves session security tokens from the current cache.
SigningOutEventArgs	Provides data for the SigningOut event.
SignInRequestMessage	Represents a WS-Federation Sign-In Request message.
SignInResponseMessage	Represents a WS-Federation Sign-In Response message.
SignOutCleanupRequestMessage	Represents a WS-Federation Sign-Out Cleanup message. The message is created when the received message has the action parameter (wa) set to "wsignoutcleanup1.0".
SignOutRequestMessage	Represents a WS-Federation sign-out message. This message is created when the received message has the action parameter (wa) set to "wsignout1.0".
WSFederationAuthenticationModule	The WSFederationAuthenticationModule is an HTTP module which is used to secure an ASP.NET application by enforcing federated authentication settings on incoming requests. The WSFederationAuthenticationModule is the main module that WIF offers out of the box for handling claims-based identity access in ASP.NET applications. The WSFederationAuthenticationModule raises several events, which allows ASP.NET developers to change the default behavior and control the details of how authentication and claims processing take place. The WSFederationAuthenticationModule functionality is divided into task-specific methods.
WSFederationMessage	Represents a WS-Federation message and defines the base class from which more specialized WS-Federation message classes derive.
WSFederationMessageException	The exception that is thrown when an error occurs while serializing or deserializing a WS-Federation message.
WSFederationSerializer	Provides methods to convert a WS-Federation message to RequestSecurityToken and RequestSecurityTokenResponse objects, which are WS-Trust protocol specific.

Enums

ApplicationType	Specifies the kind of application.
CookieHandlerMode	Specifies the cookie handler modes that are supported. Defines the possible values of the Mode property. This property defines the kind of cookie handler that a CookieHandlerElement object configures. For more information, see the CookieHandlerElement class.
