<rsa>
A secure WCF client that connects to an endpoint with this identity verifies that the claims presented by the server contain a claim that contains the RSA public key used to construct this identity.
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint>
<identity>
<rsa>
Syntax
<rsa value="String" />
Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements
Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| value | Optional String. The RSA public key value to be compared with on the client. |
Child Elements
None
Parent Elements
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| <identity> | Specifies the identity of the service to be authenticated by the client. |
Remarks
A RSA check enables you to specifically restrict authentication to a single certificate based upon its RSA key or generated your own RSA key value. This enables stricter authentication of a specific RSA key at the expense of the service no longer working with existing clients if the RSA key value is changed.
For more information about using identity to validate a service to a client, see Service Identity and Authentication.
Example
The following configuration code specifies the public key value of an X.509 certificate that is used to authenticate a server.
<identity>
<rsa value="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" />
