- requestedTokenType
- String
A string that contains the requested token type URI.
Returns
A SecurityTokenHandler that represents the token handler to be used for creating the issued security token. Returns null if the requested token type is not supported (there is no handler configured for the specified token type).
Remarks
In the default implementation if requestedTokenType is null or an empty string, the default token type from configuration is used. This is specified by the DefaultTokenType property of the STS configuration object accessed through the SecurityTokenServiceConfiguration property.
This method is called from the default token issuance pipeline implemented in the Issue method.
