Assembly: Microsoft.Web.Services2 (in microsoft.web.services2.dll)

Usage

'Usage

Dim iSecurityTokenManager1 As ISecurityTokenManager
returnValue = iSecurityTokenManager1.LoadSecurityTokenAssertion(element)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function LoadSecurityTokenAssertion( _
    ByVal element As XmlElement _
) As ISecurityTokenAssertion

ISecurityTokenAssertion LoadSecurityTokenAssertion(
    XmlElement element
);

public: ISecurityTokenAssertion^ LoadSecurityTokenAssertion(
    XmlElement^ element
);

public ISecurityTokenAssertion LoadSecurityTokenAssertion(
    XmlElement element
);

function LoadSecurityTokenAssertion(
     element : XmlElement
) : ISecurityTokenAssertion;

Parameters

element
An System.Xml.XmlElement from a policy assertion that references a specific security token type.

Return Value

An ISecurityTokenAssertion that contains the policy for received or sent security tokens of a specific type. Null if element is not understood.

Remarks

Use the LoadSecurityTokenAssertion method to parse the XML elements of policy assertions that reference a specific security token type. The ISecurityTokenAssertion returned from this method can then be passed to the LoadTokenFromSecurityTokenAssertion method to create an instance of the specific security token that satisfies the conditions of the security token policy assertion.

This method should return null if this function is not supported in a particular security token manager implementation.

Override this method when the security token is used with policy.

Thread Safety

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