Properties

Assertions

Gets or sets the assertions.

This includes all unsigned, signed and encrypted assertions.

The list may contain unencrypted and unsigned SAML assertions as SAMLAssertion objects, signed SAML assertions as XmlElement objects, and encrypted SAML assertions as EncryptedAssertion objects.

To get just the unencrypted, unsigned assertions use GetUnsignedAssertions. To get just the signed assertions use GetSignedAssertions. To get just the encrypted assertions use GetEncryptedAssertions.

Declaration
public IList Assertions { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Collections.IList

The assertions.

Methods

GetEncryptedAssertion()

Returns the encrypted SAML assertion.

It's assumed the SAML response contains a single encrypted SAML assertion.

To get the unencrypted, unsigned assertion use GetUnsignedAssertion. To get the signed assertion use GetSignedAssertion.

Declaration
public EncryptedAssertion GetEncryptedAssertion()
Returns
Type Description
EncryptedAssertion

The encrypted assertion or null if none.

GetEncryptedAssertions()

Returns all encrypted assertions.

To get the unencrypted, unsigned assertions use GetUnsignedAssertions. To get the signed assertions use GetSignedAssertions.

Declaration
public IList<EncryptedAssertion> GetEncryptedAssertions()
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IList<EncryptedAssertion>

The encrypted assertions.

GetSignedAssertion(X509Certificate2)

Returns the SAML assertion.

It's assumed the SAML response contains a single signed SAML assertion.

To get the unencrypted, unsigned assertion use GetUnsignedAssertion. To get the encrypted assertion use GetEncryptedAssertion.

Declaration
public SAMLAssertion GetSignedAssertion(X509Certificate2 x509Certificate)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 x509Certificate

The X.509 certificate used to verify the XML signature.
Returns
Type Description
SAMLAssertion

The SAML assertion or null if none.
Exceptions
Type Condition
SAMLSignatureException

GetSignedAssertions()

Returns all signed assertions.

To get the unencrypted, unsigned assertions use GetUnsignedAssertions. To get the encrypted assertions use GetEncryptedAssertions.

Declaration
public IList<XmlElement> GetSignedAssertions()
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Xml.XmlElement>

The signed assertions.
See Also

GetUnsignedAssertion()

Returns the SAML assertion.

It's assumed the SAML response contains a single unencrypted, unsigned SAML assertion.

To get the signed assertion use GetSignedAssertion. To get the encrypted assertion use GetEncryptedAssertion.

Declaration
public SAMLAssertion GetUnsignedAssertion()
Returns
Type Description
SAMLAssertion

The SAML assertion or null if none.
See Also

GetUnsignedAssertions()

Returns all unencrypted, unsigned assertions.

To get the signed assertions use GetSignedAssertions. To get the encrypted assertions use GetEncryptedAssertions.

Declaration
public IList<SAMLAssertion> GetUnsignedAssertions()
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IList<SAMLAssertion>

The assertions.
