Attributes and Elements

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

Attributes

Attribute	Description
address	Required string. Specifies the URI of the local issuer.
binding	Optional string. One of the system-provided bindings. For a list, see System-Provided Bindings.
bindingConfiguration	Optional string. Specifies a binding configuration found in the configuration file.

Child Elements

Element	Description
<identity>	When using an issued token, specifies settings that enable the client to authenticate the server.
<headers> element	A collection of headers.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
<issuedToken>	Specifies a custom token used to authenticate a client to a service.

Remarks

Security tokens are used in federated scenarios where a Secure Token Service (STS) is first contacted for the token. If the STS does not issue a token, the client will contact the local issuer as defined here for any tokens it requires.

Example

The following example sets the address, binding, and bindingConfiguration attributes of a localIssuer element.
