Windows Identity Foundation

Namespace: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel (in microsoft.identitymodel.dll)

  Dim instance As ClaimsIdentity

Syntax

C++

public class ClaimsIdentity : IClaimsIdentity, IIdentity, ISerializable

Copy

public class ClaimsIdentity implements IClaimsIdentity, IIdentity, 
	ISerializable

Remarks

The ClaimsIdentity class is a generic implementation of the IClaimsIdentity interface, which you can use directly, or derive from to implement your own representation of an identity in your claims-aware application. Windows® Identity Foundation (WIF) also exposes more specialized implementations IClaimsIdentity: the WindowsClaimsIdentity class represents a Windows user, and the RsaClaimsIdentity class represents a user authenticated using RSA SecurID authentication.
