Method Description
GetEndpointToken Request a token for the endpoint of the service using the specified credentials.

Remarks

WUA calls the GetPreferredEndpointTokenType method of this interface to start the negotiation process. When the call is made WUA passes in the service identifier, the type of endpoint implemented by the service, and the token types that are available. The implementation of this interface then returns the token types that it preferes to use.
