Programming Windows Identity Foundation

Apply the principles - and patterns - for implementing identity

Get hands-on guidance for using Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) to solve common authentication, authorization, and customization issues in Web applications and services.

Apply the principles - and patterns - for implementing claims-based identity in your .NET solutions

Take control of access and identity management with Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) - the claims-based identity model in Microsoft .NET. Led by an insider on the WIF engineering team, you´ll learn practical, scenario-based approaches for implementing WIF in your Web applications and services - while streamlining development and IT overhead.

Discover how to:

• Implement authentication and authorization in ASP.NET - without low-level code
• Delve deeper - examining WS-Federation and WS-Trust protocols in action
• Configure WIF for fine-grained control over identity management
• Implement Single Sign-On, Single Sign-Out, advanced session management, and other patterns
• Tackle advanced scenarios - from managing delegation to flowing identity across multiple tiers
• Employ claims-based identity in Windows Communication Foundation
• Use WIF to help secure applications and services hosted on Windows Azure
• Extend WIF to Microsoft Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC
