Remarks

Evaluating all of the authorization policies in an authorization manager results in a set of ClaimSet objects. These objects make up an authorization context.

An authorization context contains a set of claim set objects, an expiration time that specifies the span of time during which the authorization context is valid, and a unique identifier.

The AuthorizationContext for the current operation can be accessed via the AuthorizationContext property.

Constructors

AuthorizationContext()

Initializes a new instance of the AuthorizationContext class.

Properties

ClaimSets	Gets the set of claims associated with an authorization policy.
ExpirationTime	Gets the date and time at which this AuthorizationContext object is no longer valid.
Id	Gets a unique identifier for this AuthorizationContext object.
Properties	Gets a collection of non-claim properties associated with this AuthorizationContext object.

Methods

CreateDefaultAuthorizationContext(IList<IAuthorizationPolicy>)	Evaluate all of the specified authorization policies and create an AuthorizationContext.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
