Passport PassportIdentity Object
The Passport PassportIdentity object wraps the Passport Manager and Crypt objects in a C# interface. The PassportIdentity object is used by the PassportAuthenticationModule to validate a user's sign-in information before allowing access to resources, and enables you to use Microsoft® .NET Passport single sign-in (SSI) and Kids Passport services, and encrypt or decrypt information using the C# language.
To obtain a reference to a Passport PassportIdentity object, cast the User.Identity attribute. The following code performs the cast and is used in the methods and properties of this class.
PassportIdentity oMgr = (PassportIdentity)User.Identity;
PassportIdentity Constructor
