Developing Applications Using the Security Application Block

This topic describes how you can use the Security Application Block to develop applications. It explains how to configure the block and incorporate it into your applications, and how to use the block for specific scenarios such as authorizing a user for a particular task. This topic assumes that you are using the Security Application Block in its original state, without extending it. (To learn how to add functionality, see Extending the Security Application Block.) This section includes the following topics:

• Entering Configuration Information
• Adding Application Code

All application blocks ship as binary assemblies and as source code. If you want to use the source code, you must compile. To learn how to compile the Enterprise Library source code, see Building Enterprise Library from the Source Code.
