Parameters
- valueType
An URI that represents a binary security token.
Return Value
An ISecurityTokenManager that is the security token manager for the binary security token.
Remarks
All binary security tokens that are contained within a SOAP message are each placed in their own <BinarySecurityToken> element within the SOAP message and the ValueType attribute of the <BinarySecurityToken> element is used to specifiy the token type. When WSE receives a SOAP message containing a <BinarySecurityToken> element, it calls the GetSecurityTokenManagerByValueType method with the ValueType attribute is passed to the ValueType parameter. The GetSecurityTokenManagerByTokenType method then uses the values of any <binarySecurityTokenManager> elements in the current application domain's configuration file to determine the security token manager for the token type. If the binary security token is not in the configuration file, WSE then checks whether it is a natively supported binary security token, such as the X509SecurityToken . If it is, then the natively supported security token manager, such as the X509SecurityTokenManager , is called. If not, a SOAP fault is returned to the client. For more information about registering binary security token managers, see <binarySecurityTokenManager> Element.
WSE has defined a set of constants for the value types that it natively supports, as well as other industry defined value types. For more details, see the WSSecurity.ValueTypes class.
