Remarks

WSE uses security token managers to interact with security tokens. Security token managers typically derive from the SecurityTokenManager class, however it is possible to implement the ISecurityTokenManager interface directly.

To build a custom security token manager, either derive a class from SecurityTokenManager or create a class that implements the ISecurityTokenManager interface and register the class in the SOAP message receiver's configuration file using the <securityTokenManager> element. For more details about creating a custom security token manager, see How to: Create a Security Token Manager for a Custom Security Token. For more details about configuring a security token manager, see How to: Configure the Security Token Manager for a Custom Security Token.

Notes to Implementers: The following table provides guidance on when you typically implement a member.

Member	When you typically implement
TokenType	Always.
LoadTokenFromXml	Always.
VerifyToken	Always.
LoadTokenFromKeyInfo	Security token supports encryption. Used during decryption of the security token.
PermitsPolicyEnforcementTokenCaching	Security token is used with policy.
LoadSecurityTokenAssertion	Security token is used with policy.
LoadTokenFromSecurityTokenAssertion	Security token is used with policy.

The following table lists the natively supported security tokens and their respective security token managers.
