Summary

By completing this Hands-On Lab you have learned:

• how to take advantage of Windows Identity Foundation to authenticate and authorize calls to WCF services.
• how to leverage an Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) STS available online, used as identity provider
  • You have also had a taste of how powerful claims-based authorization can be, by creating custom authorization criteria

• Finally, you have learned how to perform delegated services calls across multi layer architectures without the need to apply any complex infrastructure requirements

You can expect the activities in exercise 2 and exercise 3 to be the most common tasks you will perform in normal development practice.

We hope that this lab helped you to learn how to benefit in your services from the powerful identity capabilities that Windows Identity Foundation offers to WCF developers. This Identity Developer Training Kit barely covers the basics: if you want to know more, plase refer to the SDK and visit www.microsoft.com/geneva.
