SamlSubject

Remarks

SamlSecurityToken security tokens specify their claims using SAML assertions, which can specify the subject of the security token. The claims in a SAML assertion are represented by SAML statements. The SAML specification defines a set of SAML statement types and one of them is a SamlSubjectStatement. A SamlSubjectStatement asserts the principal that is the subject of the SamlSecurityToken security token. This principal is specified using a SamlSubject class.

Constructors

SamlSubject()	Initializes a new instance of the SamlSubject class.
SamlSubject(String, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the SamlSubject class using the specified name, the domain in which the name resides, and the format the name is in.
SamlSubject(String, String, String, IEnumerable<String>, String, SecurityKeyIdentifier)	Initializes a new instance of the SamlSubject class using the specified name, the domain in which the name resides, the format the name is in, authentication protocols, additional authentication information, and a key identifier.

Properties
