Examples

The code examples that are used in the ClaimsAuthorizationManager topics are taken from the Claims Based Authorization sample. This sample provides a custom claims authorization manager that can authorize subjects based on a policy that is specified in configuration. The custom claims authorization manager consists of three basic components: a class derived from ClaimsAuthorizationManager that implements the manager, the ResourceAction class that pairs a resource and an action, and a policy reader that reads and compiles policy that is specified in the configuration file. This compiled policy can then be used by the claims authorization manager to evaluate a principal in order to authorize access to resources. Not all elements are shown for the sake of brevity. For information about this sample and other samples available for WIF and about where to download them, see WIF Code Sample Index.

The following code shows the implementation of the custom claims authorization manager. The LoadCustomConfiguration method reads and compiles the policy from configuration by using the policy reader helper class (not shown) and the CheckAccess method grants or denies access based on this policy.

                string resource = rdr.GetAttribute("resource");
                string action = rdr.GetAttribute("action");

            if (ra != null)
            {
                return ((string.Compare(ra.Resource, Resource, true) == 0) && (string.Compare(ra.Action, Action, true) == 0));
            }

            return base.Equals(obj);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets the hash code.

        public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return (Resource + Action).ToLower().GetHashCode();
        }

        /// <summary>

        public ResourceAction(string resource, string action)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(resource))
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("resource");
            }

The following XML shows how to configure the claims authorization manager shown above for a web application hosted in IIS 7.5. Only the elements specific to the configuration of the claims authorization manager are shown. Note that a reference to the ClaimsAuthorizationModule class must be added to the pipeline under the <system.Webserver> element. For sites and applications hosted in versions of IIS prior to IIS 7 the modules can be added to the pipeline under the <system.Web> element. This configuration is shown but commented out.

The policy used by the claims authorization manager is specified by custom <policy> elements under the <claimsAuthorizationManager> element. In the first policy, the principal must possess one of the specified claims in order to perform the specified action on the specified resource. In the second policy, the principal must possess both claims to be able to perform the specified action on the specified resource. In all others, the principal is automatically granted access regardless of the claims it possesses.

Remarks

The ClaimsAuthorizationManager class provides the base implementation for a claims authorization manager. A claims authorization manager can be used in the following two scenarios:

  • In web-based applications and services, a claims authorization manager can be added to the processing pipeline to provide an extensibility point from which you can authorize access to a resource according to the value of incoming claims before the application code that actually implements the requested resource is called.

  • When you use the ClaimsPrincipalPermission class or the ClaimsPrincipalPermissionAttribute class to perform either imperative or declarative claims-based access checks in your code, the claims authorization manager that is configured for your application is called by the system to perform the check. Claims-based access checks can be performed in both web-based applications and desktop applications.

The default implementation provided by the ClaimsAuthorizationManager class authorizes access for each claim presented; however, you can derive from this class and override the CheckAccess method to provide your own authorization logic.

The use of a claims authorization manager is optional. You can configure your application to use a claims authorization manager either programmatically by using the IdentityConfiguration class or declaratively, by specifying the <claimsAuthorizationManager> element, which is a child element of the <identityConfiguration> element in your application configuration file. If your application is a web site or a web application hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS), you must also add the ClaimsAuthorizationModule in the ASP.NET HTTP Modules collection.

Important

When you use the ClaimsPrincipalPermission class or the ClaimsPrincipalPermissionAttribute class, the claims authorization manager that is used to perform the access check is the one that is specified in the identity configuration under the FederatedAuthentication.FederationConfiguration property. In a configuration file, it is the <identityConfiguration> section that is referenced from the default <federationConfiguration> element. This is true even for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services and desktop applications.

The ClaimsAuthorizationManager base class does not take any additional configuration; however, you can override the LoadCustomConfiguration in derived classes to provide initialization of your claims authorization manager from child elements of the <claimsAuthorizationElement>. The typical scenario is to use these child elements to specify authorization policies which determine which claim types and values are required in order to gain access to which resource. This is not a hard requirement, though you are free to define whatever usage and syntax make sense for your implementation.
