EndpointIdentity::CreateX509CertificateIdentity Method (X509Certificate2^)

 

Creates an X509Certificate identity with the specified certificate.

Namespace:   System.ServiceModel
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

public:
static EndpointIdentity^ CreateX509CertificateIdentity(
	X509Certificate2^ certificate
)

Parameters

certificate
Type: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates::X509Certificate2^

An X509Certificate2 that contains the certificate for the identity.

Return Value

Type: System.ServiceModel::EndpointIdentity^

An X509Certificate EndpointIdentity associated with the specified certificate.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

certificate is null.

A secure WCF client that connects to an endpoint with this identity verifies that the claims presented by the server contain the claim that contains the thumbprint of the certificate used to construct this identity.

This static method creates an instance of X509CertificateEndpointIdentity by calling its constructor, X509CertificateEndpointIdentity, using certificate as the input parameter.

The following code shows how to call this method.

    // This method creates a WSFederationHttpBinding.
    public static WSFederationHttpBinding CreateWSFederationHttpBinding()
    {
        // Create an instance of the WSFederationHttpBinding.
        WSFederationHttpBinding b = new WSFederationHttpBinding();

        // Set the security mode to Message.
        b.Security.Mode = WSFederationHttpSecurityMode.Message;

        // Set the Algorithm Suite to Basic256Rsa15.
        b.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic256Rsa15;

        // Set NegotiateServiceCredential to true.
        b.Security.Message.NegotiateServiceCredential = true;

        // Set IssuedKeyType to Symmetric.
        b.Security.Message.IssuedKeyType = SecurityKeyType.SymmetricKey;

        // Set IssuedTokenType to SAML 1.1.
        b.Security.Message.IssuedTokenType = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/oasis-wss-saml-token-profile-1.1#samlv1.1";

        // Extract the STS certificate from the certificate store.
        X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
        store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
        X509Certificate2Collection certs = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, "cd 54 88 85 0d 63 db ac 92 59 05 af ce b8 b1 de c3 67 9e 3f", false);
        store.Close();

        // Create an EndpointIdentity from the STS certificate.
        EndpointIdentity identity = EndpointIdentity.CreateX509CertificateIdentity(certs[0]);

        // Set the IssuerAddress using the address of the STS and the previously created EndpointIdentity.
        b.Security.Message.IssuerAddress = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://localhost:8000/sts/x509"), identity);

        // Set the IssuerBinding to a WSHttpBinding loaded from config
        b.Security.Message.IssuerBinding = new WSHttpBinding("Issuer");

        // Set the IssuerMetadataAddress using the metadata address of the STS and the previously created EndpointIdentity.
        b.Security.Message.IssuerMetadataAddress = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://localhost:8001/sts/mex"), identity);

        // Create a ClaimTypeRequirement.
        ClaimTypeRequirement ctr = new ClaimTypeRequirement("http://example.org/claim/c1", false);

        // Add the ClaimTypeRequirement to ClaimTypeRequirements.
        b.Security.Message.ClaimTypeRequirements.Add(ctr);

        // Return the created binding.
        return b;
    }
}
