Methods

	Name	Description
	CanValidateToken(SecurityToken)	Gets a value indicating whether the specified security token can be validated by this security token authenticator. (Inherited from SecurityTokenAuthenticator.)
	CanValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken)	Gets a value indicating whether the specified security token can be validated by this security token authenticator.(Inherited from UserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator.)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from 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()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ValidateToken(SecurityToken)	Authenticates the specified security token and returns the set of authorization policies for the security token. (Inherited from SecurityTokenAuthenticator.)
	ValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken)	Authenticates the specified security token and returns the set of authorization policies for the security token.(Inherited from UserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator.)
	ValidateUserNamePasswordCore(String, String)	Authenticates the specified user name and password and returns the set of authorization policies for UserNameSecurityToken security tokens.(Overrides UserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator.ValidateUserNamePasswordCore(String, String).)

Override the CustomUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator class when the Windows authentication provided by the WindowsUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator class isn't sufficient. The WindowsUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator class authenticates the user name and password in a UserNameSecurityToken security token as a Windows account.

To provide a custom authentication scheme, derive a class from the UserNamePasswordValidator class, implement the authentication scheme, and then pass that class to the constructor for the CustomUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator class.
