Parameters

The KeyInfo to load into the security token.

A SecurityToken that contains the key information.
Remarks
When the security token type that is referenced in a KeyInfo has not been determined, use the GetTokenFromKeyInfo method. The GetTokenFromKeyInfo method iterates over all configured and built-in security token managers until one is found that can load the KeyInfo clause. If a security token manager is not found that can load the KeyInfo clause, null is returned.
When the security token type referenced in the KeyInfo clause is known, call the LoadTokenFromKeyInfo method of the security tokens manager for the security token type.
