Thinktecture.IdentityModel: WRAP and SWT Support
- by Your DisplayName here!
The latest drop of Thinktecture.IdentityModel contains
some helpers for the Web Resource Authorization Protocol (WRAP) and Simple Web Tokens
(SWT).
WRAP
The WrapClient class is a helper to request SWT tokens via WRAP.
It supports issuer/key, SWT and SAML input credentials, e.g.:
var client
= new WrapClient(wrapEp);
var swt
= client.Issue(issuerName, issuerKey, scope);
All Issue overrides return a SimpleWebToken type, which brings me
to the next helper class.
SWT
The SimpleWebToken class wraps a SWT token. It combines a number
of features:
conversion between string format and CLR type representation
creation of SWT tokens
validation of SWT token
projection of SWT token as IClaimsIdentity
helpers to embed SWT token in headers and query strings
The following sample code generates a SWT token using the helper class:
private static string CreateSwtToken()
{
var signingKey
= "wA…";
var audience
= "http://websample";
var issuer
= "http://self";
var token
= new SimpleWebToken(
issuer, audience, Convert.FromBase64String(signingKey));
token.AddClaim(ClaimTypes.Name, "dominick");
token.AddClaim(ClaimTypes.Role, "Users");
token.AddClaim(ClaimTypes.Role, "Administrators");
token.AddClaim("simple", "test");
return token.ToString();
}
