Element Description

<Claims> Element

Specifies the role a security token is required to be a member of.

Remarks

Use the <Role> Element element to implement role-based authorization based on policy. For more details about authorization, see Authorizing Access to a Web Service.

Example

The following code example defines a policy assertion named signed-body-username that requires the digital signing of the <Body> element, timestamp header, and all addressing headers by a UsernameToken and that the user is a member of the Tellers role. SOAP messages sent to the http://www.cohowinery.com/usernamesigning.asmx endpoint must adhere to the policy assertion. For all other SOAP messages, the message-age-20s policy is applied.

Note

This code example is designed to demonstrate WSE features and is not intended for production use.
