EndpointIdentity Class
An abstract class that when implemented provides an identity that enables the authentication of an endpoint by clients that exchange messages with it.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The EndpointIdentity type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CreateDnsIdentity | Creates a DNS identity with a specified DNS name. |
| CreateIdentity | Creates an identity with the specified claim. |
| CreateRsaIdentity(String) | Creates an RSA identity with the specified public key. |
| CreateRsaIdentity(X509Certificate2) | Creates an RSA identity with the specified X.509 certificate. |
| CreateSpnIdentity | Creates a server principal name (SPN) identity with a specified name. |
| CreateUpnIdentity | Creates a user principal name (UPN) identity with a specified name. |
| CreateX509CertificateIdentity(X509Certificate2) | Creates an X509Certificate identity with the specified certificate. |
| CreateX509CertificateIdentity(X509Certificate2, X509Certificate2Collection) | Creates an X509Certificate identity with the specified primary and supporting certificates. |
 | Equals | Returns a value that determines whether a specified object is equal to the current identity object or if they have equal security properties. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Provides a hash code for the current instance of the identity. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Initialize(Claim) | Initializes an EndpointIdentity with the specified claim. |
| Initialize(Claim, IEqualityComparer<Claim>) | Initializes an EndpointIdentity with the specified claim and an interface and compares equality. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns the identity. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |
The value of the identity for an endpoint can be set with constructors of EndpointAddress, where its value can also be accessed as a read-only Identity property.
