Federation and Issued Tokens

With Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), you can create clients that communicate securely with services that implement the WS-Federation and WS-Trust specifications. The specifications use XML, SOAP, and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) to provide mechanisms that enable authentication and authorization across different trust realms.

    Lists the design issues to be aware of when creating federated services or clients.
  • SAML Tokens and Claims
