ClaimsAuthenticationManager.Authenticate Method

Windows Identity Foundation


When overridden in a derived class, returns an IClaimsPrincipal object consistent with the requirements of the RP application. The default implementation does not modify the incoming IClaimsPrincipal.


Namespace: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel (in microsoft.identitymodel.dll)
  Dim instance As ClaimsAuthenticationManager
Dim resourceName As String
Dim incomingPrincipal As IClaimsPrincipal
Dim returnValue As IClaimsPrincipal

returnValue = instance.Authenticate(resourceName, incomingPrincipal)
public virtual IClaimsPrincipal Authenticate (
	string resourceName,
	IClaimsPrincipal incomingPrincipal
)
public IClaimsPrincipal Authenticate (
	String resourceName, 
	IClaimsPrincipal incomingPrincipal
)
public function Authenticate (
	resourceName : String, 
	incomingPrincipal : IClaimsPrincipal
) : IClaimsPrincipal

Parameters

resourceName

The address to which the request was sent.

incomingPrincipal

An IClaimsPrincipal that represents the credentials presented by the client (in the form of a security token) to access the specified resource.

Return Value

An IClaimsPrincipal that contains any modifications necessary for the RP application. The default implementation returns the incoming IClaimsPrincipal unmodified.

You can override this method in a derived class to filter, modify, or inject claims into the claims principal. Depending on the requirements of the RP application, you can even return a custom implementation of IClaimsPrincipal.


Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
