I'm experimenting with "configuration-less WIF", where I want to accept a SAML2 token that is generated by Windows Azure's AppFabric STS.
What I'm doing is parsing checking the current request for token information, like so:
if (Request.Form.Get(WSFederationConstants.Parameters.Result) != null)
{
SignInResponseMessage message =
WSFederationMessage.CreateFromFormPost(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request) as SignInResponseMessage;
var securityTokenHandlers = SecurityTokenHandlerCollection.CreateDefaultSecurityTokenHandlerCollection();
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(
new StringReader(message.Result));
SecurityToken token = securityTokenHandlers.ReadToken(xmlReader);
if (token != null)
{
ClaimsIdentityCollection claims = securityTokenHandlers.ValidateToken(token);
IPrincipal principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(claims);
}
}
The code above uses the SecurityTokenHandlerCollection.CreateDefaultSecurityTokenHandlerCollection(); colection to verify and handle the SAML token. However: this does not work because obviously the application has not bee nconfigured correctly. How would I specify the follwing configuration from XML programmaticaly on my securityTokenHandlers collection?

FYI: found a solution and implemented it in a module described (and linked) here: http://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2011/02/14/Authenticate-Orchard-users-with-AppFabric-Access-Control-Service.aspx
