Programming Examples

The following code fragments illustrate creating an open format cookie:

// Gets an object reference of the interface type IFederationOpenIdentity, bound to a custom
// implementation of the IFederationOpenIdentity interface.
// AES128/CBC/PKCS5Padding is the only supported cryptographic transformation string.

IFederationOpenIdentity openID = IdentityFactory.GetInstance("AES128/CBC/PKCS5Padding", UseHMACFlag);

// Initializes the parameters required to create cookie.

openID.InitCookieInfo(Domain, CookieZone, CookieName, Password);

// Sets a user attribute.

openID.LoginID = txtLoginID.Text;

// Creates an open format cookie and sets it into the response object.

openID.CreateCookie(HttpResponse);

The following code fragments illustrate consuming an open format cookie:

// Gets an object reference of the interface type IFederationOpenIdentity, bound to a custom
// implementation of the IFederationOpenIdentity interface.
// AES128/CBC/PKCS5Padding is the only supported cryptographic transformation string.

IFederationOpenIdentity openID = IdentityFactory.GetInstance("AES128/CBC/PKCS5Padding", UseHMACFlag);

// Initializes parameters needed to extract cookie.

openID.InitCookieInfo(Domain, CookieZone, CookieName, Password);

// Extracts the cookie from the HttpRequest, decrypts it, and saves the attributes in a Hashtable.

openID.ExtractCookie(HttpRequest);

// Retrieves some attributes.

String id = openID.LoginID;
String nid = openID.NameID;
