WIF Workshop 6: WIF ASP.NET Pipeline and Extensibility Points

Published: June 23, 2010, 1:47 p.m.

This session explores in depth how WIF tackles the sign-in scenario.
After a general intro to the WIF configuration element, the session describes how WS-Federation is used for driving the various browser redirects which ultimately constitute the sign in experience. Most of the time is spent digging deep in how WIF leverages the ASP.NET HttpModule extensibility mechanism and its own classes & events for implementing the sign-in sequence.
