Example

This is the description for a Code Example.

<serviceBehaviors>
 <behavior name="myServiceBehavior">
  <serviceCredentials>
   <issuedTokenAuthentication>
    <knownCertificates>
     <add findValue="www.contoso.com" storeLocation="LocalMachine" 
           storeName="CertificateAuthority"
           x509FindType="FindByIssuerName" />
     </knownCertificates>
    </issuedTokenAuthentication>
   </serviceCredentials>
  </behavior>
 </serviceBehaviors>

When creating a federated service that uses a Security Token Service (STS) to supply security tokens, the certificate used by the STS must be supplied in advance (an out-of-band negotiation). The certificate is stored in this collection, and is used to validate tokens supplied by clients. For more information, see Federation and SAML.
