 | SecurityTokenAuthenticator() | Initializes a new instance of the SecurityTokenAuthenticator class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CanValidateToken(SecurityToken^) | Gets a value indicating whether the specified security token can be validated by this security token authenticator. |
| CanValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken^) | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the specified security token can be validated by this security token authenticator. |
| 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() | |
| MemberwiseClone() | |
| 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. |
| ValidateTokenCore(SecurityToken^) | When overridden in a derived class, authenticates the specified security token and returns the set of authorization policies for the security token. |
The SecurityTokenAuthenticator class and the classes that derive from it authenticate security tokens. Typically, you would only derive a class directly from SecurityTokenAuthenticator when you create a custom security token. If you wanted to override the default authentication or authorization behaviors for built-in security tokens, derive from one of the classes that derive from SecurityTokenAuthenticator, such as SamlSecurityTokenAuthenticator.
When you derive a class from SecurityTokenAuthenticator, override the following two methods: ValidateTokenCore and CanValidateTokenCore. The CanValidateTokenCore method determines whether this security token authenticator can authenticate a specific security token. The ValidateTokenCore method authenticates the security token and establishes a set of authorization policies for authorization. The authorization policies map the claims found in the security token to claims required by the application.
