WCF Security

Question

User-221752185 posted

Hello, I have a WCF that sends and receives documents. Two operations are dedicated for this, while the other operations are for other things. I want to secure the documents using SAML. Anyone able to point me in a direction on how to do this? Perhaps code samples, libraries, etc..

Thanks very much. Just a quick overview question before I dig too deep. SAML is just a claim-based token really that protects access to a resouce (in my case a document). Correct? Like... SAML isn't encrypting the document. SAML has nothing to do with encrpytion. Its just authorization?

Yes.
