Examples

The code examples that are used in the SecurityTokenService topics are taken from the Custom Token sample. This sample provides custom classes that enable processing of Simple Web Tokens (SWT) and it includes an implementation of a passive STS that is capable of serving an SWT token. For an example of how to implement an active STS, you can see the Federation Metadata sample. For information about these samples and other samples available for WIF and about where to download them, see WIF Code Sample Index. The following code shows a custom implementation of the SecurityTokenServiceConfiguration class to support a passive STS that processes SWT tokens. The configuration is initialized and stored in the HTTP application state the first time the static Current property is accessed. The constructor initializes the properties of the custom configuration with the type of the custom STS, a custom issuer token resolver, and the default token type (the URI of the SWT token type). It also adds an SWT token handler to the default handler collection.

namespace PassiveSTS
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Extends the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Services.SecurityTokenServiceConfiguration class to 
    /// be consumed by the CustomSecurityTokenService.
    /// </summary>
    public class CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration : SecurityTokenServiceConfiguration
    {
        static readonly object syncRoot = new object();
        static string CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfigurationKey = "CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfigurationKey";
        static string Base64SymmetricKey = "wAVkldQiFypTQ+kdNdGWCYCHRcee8XmXxOvgmak8vSY=";

        public static CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration Current
        {
            get
            {
                HttpApplicationState httpAppState = HttpContext.Current.Application;

                CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration myConfiguration = httpAppState.Get(CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfigurationKey) as CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration;

                if (myConfiguration != null)
                {
                    return myConfiguration;
                }

                lock (syncRoot)
                {
                    myConfiguration = httpAppState.Get(CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfigurationKey) as CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration;

                    if (myConfiguration == null)
                    {
                        myConfiguration = new CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration();
                        httpAppState.Add(CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfigurationKey, myConfiguration);
                    }

                    return myConfiguration;
                }
            }
        }

        public CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration()
            : base("PassiveSTS")
        { }
    }
}

The following code shows how to invoke a custom passive STS to process a WS-Federation request by calling the FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations.ProcessRequest(HttpRequest, ClaimsPrincipal, SecurityTokenService, HttpResponse) method from the code behind in the default.aspx.cs file. The CreateSecurityTokenService method initializes an instance of the PassiveSTS.CustomSecurityTokenService class using the properties set on the CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration class shown in the previous example.

using System;
using System.IdentityModel.Services;
using System.Security.Claims;

namespace PassiveSTS
{
    public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// We perform the WS-Federation Passive Protocol processing in this method. 
        /// </summary>
        protected void Page_PreRender( object sender, EventArgs e ) 
        {
            FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations.ProcessRequest( Request, User as ClaimsPrincipal, CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration.Current.CreateSecurityTokenService(), Response );
        }
    }
}
