Comment on Adding Dynamic methods to a WCF Service by jarlef

Would be simpler just to create a base class e.g BaseService with a ping method and inherit every service from that base class. But i guess your post was more angled at showing the more dynamic side of wcf

Hi,

I have also been able to implement adding a dynamic operation, but so far have no luck in figuring out how to call the operation i added dynamically. ChannelFactory factory = new ChannelFactory to try and achive this but with no luck.

Please offer some guidance if any of you guys was able to figure this out.

One of several true tests of leadership is the capacity to recognize a difficulty before it becomes an emergency.
While in doubt, mumble; when in trouble, delegate; a lot more charge, ponder.

EncryptedKeyResolver should do that job.

Hi Zulfiqar,
Thanks for posting very useful information.
I’m using WIF with ACS2.0. I’ve tried your approach but found that I had to pass the InnerXml instead of the OuterXml in this line of code:
var sr = new StringReader(token.TokenXml.OuterXml);
when using the OuterXML, the TokenHandler complained about the XML not being positioned on an EncryptedData element. Otherwise, works great!

One question for you: If one wanted to support that the STS might have used one of several certificates to encrypt the token (say because of certificate expiration you wanted to allow for some operational grace period in which it might be possible that the STS would use either an older or a newer certificate); would it become the responsibility of the EncryptedKeyResolver to identify which certificate was used (from the KeyIdentifierClause)? Or would one simply add multiple EncryptedSecurityTokenHandlers to the token handling collection?

Hi Dan,

IssueToken endpoint accepts a SAML token issued by a trusted issuer. You can add your custom SAML issuer’s(aka STS) signing cert to ACS to establish the required trust relationship.

HTH,
