Developing Applications with the Security Application Block

This topic describes how you can use the Security Application Block to develop applications. It first explains how to configure the application block and incorporate it into your applications. Next, in Key Scenarios, it explains how to use the application block for specific scenarios, such as authorizing a user for a particular task. This topic assumes that you are using the application block in its original state, without extending it. (To learn how to add functionality, see Extending the Security Application Block.)

All application blocks ship as source code and must be compiled before the QuickStarts and configuration tools can be used. To learn how to compile the Enterprise Library source code, see Building the Enterprise Library.
