Examples

The following code shows how to access this property from the binding, and set it.

C#

// This method creates a WSFederationHttpBinding.
public static WSFederationHttpBinding
    CreateWSFederationHttpBinding(bool isClient)
{
  // Create an instance of the WSFederationHttpBinding.
  WSFederationHttpBinding b = new WSFederationHttpBinding();

  // Set the security mode to Message.
  b.Security.Mode = WSFederationHttpSecurityMode.Message;

  // Set the Algorithm Suite to Basic256Rsa15.
  b.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic256Rsa15;

  // Set NegotiateServiceCredential to true.
  b.Security.Message.NegotiateServiceCredential = true;

  // Set IssuedKeyType to Symmetric.
  b.Security.Message.IssuedKeyType = SecurityKeyType.SymmetricKey;

  // Set IssuedTokenType to SAML 1.1
  b.Security.Message.IssuedTokenType =
      "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/oasis-wss-saml-token-profile-1.1#samlv1.1";

  // Extract the STS certificate from the certificate store.
  X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
  store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
  X509Certificate2Collection certs = store.Certificates.Find(
      X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", false);
  store.Close();

  // Create an EndpointIdentity from the STS certificate.
  EndpointIdentity identity = EndpointIdentity.CreateX509CertificateIdentity ( certs[0] );

  // Set the IssuerAddress using the address of the STS and the previously created
  // EndpointIdentity.
  b.Security.Message.IssuerAddress =
      new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://localhost:8000/sts/x509"), identity);

Remarks

This address is used as the endpoint for the security token service that issues credentials for the service. Services expose the issuer address in metadata if WSDL is enabled but make no other use of it. Clients use the issuer address to communicate with the security token service. If the IssuerAddress is null clients may fall back to using the security token service specified via the LocalIssuerAddress and LocalIssuerBinding properties on IssuedTokenClientCredential.

Setting this value to null or the WS-AddressingIdentity anonymous URI on the client causes CardSpace to activate if ClientCredentials.SupportInteractive is true under certain circumstances.
