Remarks

Use the SecurityTokenManager class when you need a custom security token, security token authenticator, or security token provider. Use a custom security token to handle credentials that WCF does not support. Use a custom security token authenticator when the authentication methods WCF provides are not sufficient. A SecurityTokenManager class returns a security token authenticator in the CreateSecurityTokenAuthenticator(SecurityTokenRequirement, SecurityTokenResolver) method. A security token provider provides security tokens for outgoing SOAP messages. A SecurityTokenManager class returns a security token provider in the CreateSecurityTokenProvider(SecurityTokenRequirement) method.

For more information about using custom security token authenticators and security token providers, see Custom Credential and Credential Validation. For more information about creating a custom security token, see How to: Create a Custom Token.
