Assembly: System.IdentityModel (in System.IdentityModel.dll)

Syntax

Remarks

Evaluating all of the authorization policies in an authorization manager results in a set of ClaimSet objects. These objects make up an authorization context.

An authorization context contains a set of claim set objects, an expiration time that specifies the span of time during which the authorization context is valid, and a unique identifier.

The AuthorizationContext for the current operation can be accessed via the AuthorizationContext property.
