How to: Create a Custom Token

  • Άρθρο

This topic shows how to create a custom security token using the SecurityToken class, and how to integrate it with a custom security token provider and authenticator. For a complete code example see the Custom Token sample.

A security token is essentially an XML element that is used by the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) security framework to represent claims about a sender inside the SOAP message. WCF security provides various tokens for system-provided authentication modes. Examples include an X.509 certificate security token represented by the X509SecurityToken class or a Username security token represented by the UserNameSecurityToken class.

Sometimes an authentication mode or credential is not supported by the provided types. In that case, it is necessary to create a custom security token to provide an XML representation of the custom credential inside the SOAP message.

The following procedures show how to create a custom security token and how to integrate it with the WCF security infrastructure. This topic creates a credit card token that is used to pass information about the client's credit card to the server.

For more information about custom credentials and security token manager, see Walkthrough: Creating Custom Client and Service Credentials.

See the System.IdentityModel.Tokens namespace for more classes that represent security tokens.

Procedures

A client application must be provided with a way to specify credit card information for the security infrastructure. This information is made available to the application by a custom client credentials class. The first step is to create a class to represent the credit card information for custom client credentials.

To create a class that represents credit card information inside client credentials

  1. Define a new class that represents the credit card information for the application. The following example names the class CreditCardInfo.

  2. Add appropriate properties to the class to allow an application set the necessary information required for the custom token. In this example, the class has three properties: CardNumber, CardIssuer, and ExpirationDate.

    public class CreditCardInfo
{
    string cardNumber;
    string cardIssuer;
    DateTime expirationDate;

    public CreditCardInfo(string cardNumber, string cardIssuer, DateTime expirationDate)
    {
        this.cardNumber = cardNumber;
        this.cardIssuer = cardIssuer;
        this.expirationDate = expirationDate;
    }

    public string CardNumber
    {
        get { return this.cardNumber; }
    }

    public string CardIssuer
    {
        get { return this.cardIssuer; }
    }

    public DateTime ExpirationDate
    {
        get { return this.expirationDate; }
    }
}

    Public Class CreditCardInfo

    Private _cardNumber As String
    Private _cardIssuer As String
    Private _expirationDate As DateTime

    Public Sub New(ByVal cardNumber As String, ByVal cardIssuer As String, _
                   ByVal expirationDate As DateTime)
        Me._cardNumber = cardNumber
        Me._cardIssuer = cardIssuer
        Me._expirationDate = expirationDate
    End Sub

    Public ReadOnly Property CardNumber() As String
        Get
            Return Me._cardNumber
        End Get
    End Property

    Public ReadOnly Property CardIssuer() As String
        Get
            Return Me._cardIssuer
        End Get
    End Property

    Public ReadOnly Property ExpirationDate() As DateTime
        Get
            Return Me._expirationDate
        End Get
    End Property

End Class

Next, a class that represents the custom security token must be created. This class is used by the security token provider, authenticator, and serializer classes to pass information about the security token to and from the WCF security infrastructure.

To create a custom security token class

  1. Define a new class derived from the SecurityToken class. This example creates a class named CreditCardToken.

  2. Override the Id property. This property is used to get the local identifier of the security token that is used to point to the security token XML representation from other elements inside the SOAP message. In this example, a token identifier can be either passed to it as a constructor parameter or a new random one is generated every time a security token instance is created.

  3. Implement the SecurityKeys property. This property returns a collection of security keys that the security token instance represents. Such keys can be used by WCF to sign or encrypt parts of the SOAP message. In this example, the credit card security token cannot contain any security keys; therefore, the implementation always returns an empty collection.

  4. Override the ValidFrom and ValidTo properties. These properties are used by WCF to determine the validity of the security token instance. In this example, the credit card security token has only an expiration date, so the ValidFrom property returns a DateTime that represents the date and time of the instance creation.

    class CreditCardToken : SecurityToken
{
    CreditCardInfo cardInfo;
    DateTime effectiveTime = DateTime.UtcNow;
    string id;
    ReadOnlyCollection<SecurityKey> securityKeys;

    public CreditCardToken(CreditCardInfo cardInfo) : this(cardInfo, Guid.NewGuid().ToString()) { }

    public CreditCardToken(CreditCardInfo cardInfo, string id)
    {
        if (cardInfo == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("cardInfo");
        }
        if (id == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("id");
        }

        this.cardInfo = cardInfo;
        this.id = id;
        // The credit card token is not capable of any cryptography.
        this.securityKeys = new ReadOnlyCollection<SecurityKey>(new List<SecurityKey>());
    }

    public CreditCardInfo CardInfo
    {
        get { return this.cardInfo; }
    }

    public override ReadOnlyCollection<SecurityKey> SecurityKeys
    {
        get { return this.securityKeys; }
    }

    public override DateTime ValidFrom
    {
        get { return this.effectiveTime; }
    }

    public override DateTime ValidTo
    {
        get { return this.cardInfo.ExpirationDate; }
    }

    public override string Id
    {
        get { return this.id; }
    }
}

    Friend Class CreditCardToken
    Inherits SecurityToken

    Private _cardInfo As CreditCardInfo
    Private _effectiveTime As DateTime = DateTime.UtcNow
    Private _id As String
    Private _securityKeys As ReadOnlyCollection(Of SecurityKey)

    Public Sub New(ByVal cardInfo As CreditCardInfo)
        Me.New(cardInfo, Guid.NewGuid().ToString())
    End Sub

    Public Sub New(ByVal cardInfo As CreditCardInfo, _
                   ByVal id As String)
        If cardInfo Is Nothing Then
            Throw New ArgumentNullException("cardInfo")
        End If
        If id Is Nothing Then
            Throw New ArgumentNullException("id")
        End If

        Me._cardInfo = cardInfo
        Me._id = id
        ' The credit card token is not capable of any cryptography.
        Me._securityKeys = New ReadOnlyCollection(Of SecurityKey)(New List(Of SecurityKey)())
    End Sub

    Public ReadOnly Property CardInfo() As CreditCardInfo
        Get
            Return Me._cardInfo
        End Get
    End Property

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property SecurityKeys() As ReadOnlyCollection(Of SecurityKey)
        Get
            Return Me._securityKeys
        End Get
    End Property

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ValidFrom() As DateTime
        Get
            Return Me._effectiveTime
        End Get
    End Property

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ValidTo() As DateTime
        Get
            Return Me._cardInfo.ExpirationDate
        End Get
    End Property

        Get
            Return Me._id
        End Get
    End Property
End Class

When a new security token type is created, it requires an implementation of the SecurityTokenParameters class. The implementation is used in the security binding element configuration to represent the new token type. The security token parameters class serves as a template that is used to match the actual security token instance to when a message is processed. The template provides additional properties that an application can use to specify criteria that the security token must match to be used or authenticated. The following example does not add any additional properties, so only the security token type is matched when the WCF infrastructure searches for a security token instance to use or to validate.

To create a custom security token parameters class

  1. Define a new class derived from the SecurityTokenParameters class.

  2. Implement the CloneCore method. Copy all internal fields defined in your class, if any. This example does not define any additional fields.

  3. Implement the SupportsClientAuthentication read-only property. This property returns true if the security token type represented by this class can be used to authenticate a client to a service. In this example, the credit card security token can be used to authenticate a client to a service.

  4. Implement the SupportsServerAuthentication read-only property. This property returns true if the security token type represented by this class can be used to authenticate a service to a client. In this example, the credit card security token cannot be used to authenticate a service to a client.

  5. Implement the SupportsClientWindowsIdentity read-only property. This property returns true if the security token type represented by this class can be mapped to a Windows account. If so, the authentication result is represented by a WindowsIdentity class instance. In this example, the token cannot be mapped to a Windows account.

  6. Implement the CreateKeyIdentifierClause(SecurityToken, SecurityTokenReferenceStyle) method. This method is called by WCF security framework when it requires a reference to the security token instance represented by this security token parameters class. Both the actual security token instance and SecurityTokenReferenceStyle that specifies the type of the reference that is being requested are passed to this method as arguments. In this example, only internal references are supported by the credit card security token. The SecurityToken class has functionality to create internal references; therefore, the implementation does not require additional code.

  7. Implement the InitializeSecurityTokenRequirement(SecurityTokenRequirement) method. This method is called by WCF to convert the security token parameters class instance into an instance of the SecurityTokenRequirement class. The result is used by security token providers to create the appropriate security token instance.

    public class CreditCardTokenParameters : SecurityTokenParameters
{
    public CreditCardTokenParameters()
    {
    }

    protected CreditCardTokenParameters(CreditCardTokenParameters other)
        : base(other)

    }

    protected override SecurityTokenParameters CloneCore()
    {
        return new CreditCardTokenParameters(this);
    }

    protected override void InitializeSecurityTokenRequirement(SecurityTokenRequirement requirement)
    {
        requirement.TokenType = Constants.CreditCardTokenType;
        return;
    }

    // A credit card token has no cryptography, no windows identity, and supports only client authentication.
    protected override bool HasAsymmetricKey
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    protected override bool SupportsClientAuthentication
    {
        get { return true; }
    }

    protected override bool SupportsClientWindowsIdentity
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    protected override bool SupportsServerAuthentication
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    protected override SecurityKeyIdentifierClause CreateKeyIdentifierClause(SecurityToken token, SecurityTokenReferenceStyle referenceStyle)
    {
        if (referenceStyle == SecurityTokenReferenceStyle.Internal)
        {
            return token.CreateKeyIdentifierClause<LocalIdKeyIdentifierClause>();
        }
        else
        {
            throw new NotSupportedException("External references are not supported for credit card tokens");
        }
    }

Security tokens are transmitted inside SOAP messages, which requires a translation mechanism between the in-memory security token representation and the on-the-wire representation. WCF uses a security token serializer to accomplish this task. Every custom token must be accompanied by a custom security token serializer that can serialize and deserialize the custom security token from the SOAP message.

Note

Derived keys are enabled by default. If you create a custom security token and use it as the primary token, WCF derives a key from it. While doing so, it calls the custom security token serializer to write the SecurityKeyIdentifierClause for the custom security token while serializing the DerivedKeyToken to the wire. On the receiving end, when deserializing the token off the wire, the DerivedKeyToken serializer expects a SecurityTokenReference element as the top-level child under itself. If the custom security token serializer did not add a SecurityTokenReference element while serializing its clause type, an exception is thrown.

To create a custom security token serializer

  1. Define a new class derived from the WSSecurityTokenSerializer class.

  2. Override the CanReadTokenCore(XmlReader) method, which relies on an XmlReader to read the XML stream. The method returns true if the serializer implementation can deserialize the security token based given its current element. In this example, this method checks whether the XML reader's current XML element has the correct element name and namespace. If it does not, it calls the base class implementation of this method to handle the XML element.

  3. Override the ReadTokenCore(XmlReader, SecurityTokenResolver) method. This method reads the XML content of the security token and constructs the appropriate in-memory representation for it. If it does not recognize the XML element on which the passed-in XML reader is standing, it calls the base class implementation to process the system-provided token types.

  4. Override the CanWriteTokenCore(SecurityToken) method. This method returns true if it can convert the in-memory token representation (passed in as an argument) to the XML representation. If it cannot convert, it calls the base class implementation.

  5. Override the WriteTokenCore(XmlWriter, SecurityToken) method. This method converts an in-memory security token representation into an XML representation. If the method cannot convert, it calls the base class implementation.

After completing the four previous procedures, integrate the custom security token with the security token provider, authenticator, manager, and client and service credentials.

To integrate the custom security token with a security token provider

  1. The security token provider creates, modifies (if necessary), and returns an instance of the token. To create a custom provider for the custom security token, create a class that inherits from the SecurityTokenProvider class. The following example overrides the GetTokenCore method to return an instance of the CreditCardToken. For more information about custom security token providers, see How to: Create a Custom Security Token Provider.

    class CreditCardTokenProvider : SecurityTokenProvider
{
    CreditCardInfo creditCardInfo;

    public CreditCardTokenProvider(CreditCardInfo creditCardInfo)
        : base()
    {
        if (creditCardInfo == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("creditCardInfo");
        }
        this.creditCardInfo = creditCardInfo;
    }

    protected override SecurityToken GetTokenCore(TimeSpan timeout)
    {
        SecurityToken result = new CreditCardToken(this.creditCardInfo);
        return result;
    }
}

    Friend Class CreditCardTokenProvider
    Inherits SecurityTokenProvider

    Private creditCardInfo As CreditCardInfo

    Public Sub New(ByVal creditCardInfo As CreditCardInfo)
        MyBase.New()
        If creditCardInfo Is Nothing Then
            Throw New ArgumentNullException("creditCardInfo")
        End If
        Me.creditCardInfo = creditCardInfo
    End Sub

    Protected Overrides Function GetTokenCore(ByVal timeout As TimeSpan) As SecurityToken
        Return TryCast(New CreditCardToken(Me.creditCardInfo), SecurityToken)
    End Function

End Class

To integrate the custom security token with a security token authenticator

  1. The security token authenticator validates the content of the security token when it is extracted from the message. To create a custom authenticator for the custom security token, create a class that inherits from the SecurityTokenAuthenticator class. The following example overrides the ValidateTokenCore method. For more information about custom security token authenticators, see How to: Create a Custom Security Token Authenticator.

    class CreditCardTokenAuthenticator : SecurityTokenAuthenticator
{
    string creditCardsFile;
    public CreditCardTokenAuthenticator(string creditCardsFile)

    protected override bool CanValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken token)
    {
        return (token is CreditCardToken);
    }

    protected override ReadOnlyCollection<IAuthorizationPolicy> ValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken token)
    {
        CreditCardToken creditCardToken = token as CreditCardToken;

        if (creditCardToken.CardInfo.ExpirationDate < DateTime.UtcNow)
        {

        }
        if (!IsCardNumberAndExpirationValid(creditCardToken.CardInfo))
        {
            throw new SecurityTokenValidationException("Unknown or invalid credit card");
        }

        // The credit card token has only 1 claim: the card number. The issuer for the claim is the
        // credit card issuer.
        DefaultClaimSet cardIssuerClaimSet = new DefaultClaimSet(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, creditCardToken.CardInfo.CardIssuer, Rights.PossessProperty));
        DefaultClaimSet cardClaimSet = new DefaultClaimSet(cardIssuerClaimSet, new Claim(Constants.CreditCardNumberClaim, creditCardToken.CardInfo.CardNumber, Rights.PossessProperty));
        List<IAuthorizationPolicy> policies = new List<IAuthorizationPolicy>(1);
        policies.Add(new CreditCardTokenAuthorizationPolicy(cardClaimSet));
        return policies.AsReadOnly();
    }

    // This helper method checks whether a given credit card entry is present in the user database.
    private bool IsCardNumberAndExpirationValid(CreditCardInfo cardInfo)

To integrate the custom security token with a security token manager

  1. The security token manager creates the appropriate token provider, security authenticator, and token serializer instances. To create a custom token manager, create a class that inherits from the ClientCredentialsSecurityTokenManager class. The primary methods of the class use a SecurityTokenRequirement to create the appropriate provider and client or service credentials. For more information about custom security token managers, see Walkthrough: Creating Custom Client and Service Credentials.

The custom security token parameters class created previously is used to tell the WCF security framework that a custom security token must be used when communicating with a service. The following procedure shows how this can be done.

To integrate the custom security token with the binding

  1. The custom security token parameters class must be specified in one of the token parameters collections that are exposed on the SecurityBindingElement class. The following example uses the collection returned by SignedEncrypted. The code adds the credit card custom token to every message sent from the client to the service with its content automatically signed and encrypted.

    public static class BindingHelper
{
    public static Binding CreateCreditCardBinding()
    {
