[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

Remarks

These identifiers may be used in the Method attribute of the SubjectConfirmation element to refer to the kind of confirmation that a relying party should use. This attribute is represented by the Saml2SubjectConfirmation.Method property. The identifiers are constants of type System.Uri. The URIs are defined in the SAML profiles specification [SAMLProf]. For example, the Bearer field defines a Uri that represents “urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:cm:bearer”.

For more information about the constants defined in this class, see the SAML V2.0 Core specification and the SAML V2.0 Profiles specification. You can find links to these specifications and other WS-* specifications relevant to WIF in the Windows Identity Foundation SDK topic.
