How to: Configure the Security Token Manager for a Custom Security Token

  • Article

After a security token manager has been created for a custom XML security token, it must be configure to specify the security token manager that WSE should call when WSE receives a SOAP message that contains a security token not natively supported by WSE.

To configure a security token manager for a custom XML security token

  • Add a <securityTokenManager> Element element to the configuration files for the SOAP message sender and receiver.

    The following code example specifies that the security token manager for contoso:Token security tokens is the CustomXmlSecToken.XmlTokenManager type.

    <configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section name="Microsoft.Web.Services2"
                 type="Microsoft.Web.Services2.Configuration.WebServicesConfiguration, Microsoft.Web.Services2, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
    </configSections>

    <microsoft.web.services2>
        <security>
            <securityTokenManager
               type="CustomXmlSecToken.XmlTokenManager, CustomXmlSecToken"
               xmlns:contoso="https://www.contoso.com/tokens/customXml"
               qname="contoso:Token" /> 
        </security>
    </microsoft.web.services2>
</configuration>

    Note

    Before adding the <securityTokenManager> Element element, the microsoft.web.services2 configuration handler must be registered by using the <section> Element (WSE for Microsoft .NET) element.
