When using a passive STS for authentication in ASP.NET MVC, how can I access the SecurityToken?

Question

I have created a simple ASP.NET MVC (4) application, and I am using the passive profile to authenticate against a remote STS. This all works swimmingly, and I am able to access the claims returned from the STS in the User.Claims property.

Now, I need to gain access to the SecurityToken itself that was returned from the STS. Where can I access this?

Answer 1

You use the BootstrapToken (WIF 3.5) or BootstrapContext (4.5).

• Converting Bootstrap Tokens to SAML Tokens
• Using the BootstrapContext property in .NET 4.5
