Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

Element	Description
<defaultCertificate> Element	Specifies an X.509 certificate to be used when a service or STS does not provide one via a negotiation protocol.
<scopedCertificates> Element	Represents a collection of X.509 certificates provided by specific services (scoped) for authentication. This collection is typically used to specify the service certificates for Security Token Services in a federated scenario.
<authentication> of <serviceCertificate> Element	Specifies authentication behaviors for service certificates used by a client.

Parent Elements

---

Element	Description
<clientCredentials>	Specifies the credentials used by the client to authenticate itself to a service.

Remarks

In certain cases, it is expected that the service certificate is configured at the client. That is, the client certificate is not exchanged as part of the service negotiation. In such a case, the serviceCertificate element is used to specify the certificate to use. The attributes of the serviceCertificate element are identical to the attributes of the <clientCertificate> of <clientCredentials> Element. This element is of type X509RecipientCertificateClient.
