SecurityContextTokenServiceClient.IssueSecurityContextToken Method (AppliesTo)

Makes a digitally signed request for a SecurityContextToken security token from a security token service for use with a specific Web service. If the request is successful, an entropy value is returned in an <Entropy> element.

Namespace: Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security
Assembly: Microsoft.Web.Services3 (in microsoft.web.services3.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim appliesTo As AppliesTo
Dim returnValue As SecurityContextToken
Dim securityContextTokenServiceClient1 As SecurityContextTokenServiceClient
returnValue = securityContextTokenServiceClient1.IssueSecurityContextToken(appliesTo)

Syntax

'Declaration
Overloads Public Overridable Function IssueSecurityContextToken( _
    ByVal appliesTo As AppliesTo _
) As SecurityContextToken

public virtual SecurityContextToken IssueSecurityContextToken(
    AppliesTo appliesTo
);

public:
virtual SecurityContextToken^ IssueSecurityContextToken(
    AppliesTo^ appliesTo
);

public virtual SecurityContextToken IssueSecurityContextToken(
    AppliesTo appliesTo
);

public function IssueSecurityContextToken(
     appliesTo : AppliesTo
) : SecurityContextToken;

Parameters

• appliesTo
  An AppliesTo that specifies the Web service the requested security token will be used to communicate with.

Return Value

The SecurityContextToken issued by the security token service.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	issuerToken is null. -or- appliesTo is null.
ArgumentException	baseToken does not support the digital signing of SOAP messages. -or- issuerToken does not support the encryption of SOAP messages.
TrustFault	The security token service did not return a response. -or- The response from the security token service is not signed. -or- The response contains an <Entropy> element and the entropy value is less than 16 bytes. -or- The response contains an <Entropy> element that is not encrypted using the SOAP message sender's entropy value.

Remarks

The SecurityContextToken issued by the security token service is used to exchange SOAP messages with the Web service that is specified by the appliesTo parameter

WSE generates the entropy value, encrypts it using the security token service's security token, and places it in an <Entropy> element within the security token request. If the request is successful, the security token service returns its entropy value. The SecurityContextTokenServiceClient class then generates the key for the SecurityContextToken using the entropy values of the SOAP message sender and the security token service.
