Remarks

This class is the base class for the SOAP message security binding elements in WCF. There are three implementations of this abstract class: SymmetricSecurityBindingElement, AsymmetricSecurityBindingElement, and TransportSecurityBindingElement. These implementations model the bindings defined in the WS-Security Policy specification.

A custom binding contains a collection of binding elements arranged in a specific order: the element that represents the top of the binding stack is added first, the next element down in the binding stack is added second, and so on.

To add this class to a binding, do the following:

  1. Create a BindingElementCollection.

  2. Create a custom binding element that is above this binding element in the binding stack, such as the optional TransactionFlowBindingElement and ReliableSessionBindingElement.

  3. Add these elements in the order previously described to the BindingElementCollection using the InsertItem method.

  4. Create an instance of a security binding element derived from SecurityBindingElement, such as AsymmetricSecurityBindingElement, SymmetricSecurityBindingElement, or TransportSecurityBindingElement.

  5. Add the derived security binding element to the collection.

  6. Add any additional custom binding elements to the collection, such as TcpTransportBindingElement.

For more information about using a SecurityBindingElement, see SecurityBindingElement Authentication Modes and How to: Create a Custom Binding Using the SecurityBindingElement.

Note

Once a SecurityBindingElement object is created, you should treat its properties as immutable. Calling set on some properties may have unpredictable effects: the binding may behave as if the property retained its old value, with a runtime failure being the only indication of an issue. Two properties known to behave this way are KeyType and MessageSecurityVersion. There may be other properties of which this is also true.

Methods

BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Creates a channel factory based on the SecurityBindingElement settings and the binding context passed in. The channel factory created is a SOAP message security channel factory, which internally has a reference to the channel factory that corresponds to the binding context, (which includes the transport channel factory).

BuildChannelFactoryCore<TChannel>(BindingContext)

When implemented, creates a channel factory of a specified type.

BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Creates a channel listener based on the SecurityBindingElement settings and the binding context passed in.

BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Initializes a channel listener to accept channels of a specified type from the binding context.

(Inherited from BindingElement)
BuildChannelListenerCore<TChannel>(BindingContext)

When implemented, creates a channel listener of a specified type.

CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Determines whether a channel factory of the specified type can be built.

CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Determines whether a channel listener of the specified type can be built.

CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext)

Returns a value that indicates whether the binding element can build a listener for a specific type of channel.

(Inherited from BindingElement)

When overridden in a derived class, returns a copy of the binding element object.

CreateIssuedTokenOverTransportBindingElement(IssuedSecurityTokenParameters)

Creates a security binding element configured to require SOAP security based client authentication using an issued token. This binding element requires the transport to provide server authentication and message protection (for example, HTTPS).

CreateKerberosBindingElement()

Creates a symmetric security binding element that is configured to require client authentication based on the client's Kerberos token.

CreateKerberosOverTransportBindingElement()

Creates a security binding element that is configured to require SOAP-security based client authentication using the client's Kerberos token. This binding element requires the transport to provide server authentication and message protection (for example, HTTPS).
