Identity (
RSS)
I worked on a customer machine and used the identity and access tool to enable Identity Federation. When I looked at the config that was produced by the tool I saw something strange. Instead of the good old configuration: < issuerNameRegistry type = " System.IdentityModel.Tokens.ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry, System.IdentityModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 " > < trustedIssuers > < add thumbprint = " 9B74CB2F320F7AAFC156E1252270B1DC01EF40D0...
Today I spoke about web identities and about Azure data sync. In the web identities talk I spoke about the identity concept and about the open ID, SAML and OAuth standards. In the Azure data sync talk I spoke about the value of sync, the Microsoft synchronization framework (MSF) and the Azure data sync service (which is based on MSF) Tomorrow I will speak about cryptography in .Net and explore different types of encryption algorithms and signing APIs. You can find the slide deck here: Web Idenytities...
A customer asked me how to dynamically discover the identity providers of a certain namespace in ACS. The request is simple: Let’s assume we have an application (RP) in http:\\localhost\myApp If will send the following request to acs: https://xxx.accesscontrol.windows.net:443/v2/metadata/IdentityProviders.js?protocol=wsfederation&realm=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fmyapp%2f&version=1.0 we will get the following json in the response [{"Name":"Windows Live™ ID","LoginUrl"...
I was trying to write a small sample which uses WebAuthenticationBroker to get a token from ACS and use it in a REST call to a web service. I followed the API but nothing worked. Not a single socket was opened. Then I noticed that fiddler is on. I switched it off and eureka everything works !!! I do not know why but it is impossible to debug windows 8 WebAuthenticationBroker with fiddler. Make sure fiddler is off before using WebAuthenticationBroker . Enjoy Manu
If you will try to install WIF SDK on a windows 8 with visual studio 2012 and then create a simple claim based application, you will see that “Add STS reference” is gone. So How do we use federation in visual studio 2012 and .net 4.5? Well it turns out that WIF as we know it is deprecated because it was integrated in the core of .Net 4.5 and the SDK is now provided as a set of powerful tools integrated into Visual Studio. The tools includes built-in local sts for testing, Great integration with ACS...
