Namespace: Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens
Assembly: Microsoft.Web.Services3 (in microsoft.web.services3.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim tokenType As String
Dim algorithmType As Type
Dim returnValue As KeyAlgorithm
returnValue = SecurityTokenManager.CreateTokenKeyAlgorithm(tokenType, algorithmType)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function CreateTokenKeyAlgorithm( _
    ByVal tokenType As String, _
    ByVal algorithmType As Type _
) As KeyAlgorithm

public static KeyAlgorithm CreateTokenKeyAlgorithm(
    string tokenType, 
    Type algorithmType
);

public:

);

public static function CreateTokenKeyAlgorithm(
     tokenType : String, 
     algorithmType : Type
) : KeyAlgorithm;

Parameters

  • tokenType
    The XML qualified name for the type of security token to get the cryptographic algorithm for.
  • algorithmType
    A Type specifying the cryptographic algorithm to use.

Return Value

A KeyAlgorithm containing the cryptographic algorithm for the specific security token type.

Exceptions

Exception type Condition
ArgumentNullException

tokenType is null.
ConfigurationException

A security token manager is not registered for the specified security token type.

-or-

The specified cryptographic algorithm does not match the default cryptographic algorithm for the specified security token type.
