Microsoft Claims Based Identity and Access Control 2nd Edition 2011 eBook-DARKCROWN

This book gives you enough information to evaluate claims-based identity as a possible option when you are planning a new application or making changes to an existing one. It is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates Web applications and services that require identity information about their users.

Although claims-based identity has been possible for quite a while, there are now tools available that make it much easier for developers of Windows-based applications to implement it. These tools include the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), Microsoft Active Directory® Federation Services (ADFS) v2, and Azure Access Control Service (ACS). This book shows you when and how to use these tools in the context of some commonly occurring scenarios.
