I'm trying to get WIF set up on an MVC project I'm working on but to no avail. The issue I'm having is that FederatedAuthentication.SessionAuthenticationModule
is always null. I have added the following lines to web.config under configSections
:
<section name="system.identityModel"
type="System.IdentityModel.Configuration.SystemIdentityModelSection, System.IdentityModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
<section name="system.identityModel.services"
type="System.IdentityModel.Services.Configuration.SystemIdentityModelServicesSection, System.IdentityModel.Services, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
I also attempted to init the module:
<modules>
<add name="SessionAuthenticationModule"
type="System.IdentityModel.Services.SessionAuthenticationModule, System.IdentityModel.Services, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
preCondition="managedHandler" />
</modules>
Still nothing. I installed WIF through nuget. I noticed that the namespace for WIF for most of the docs online (like what I posted above) is System.IdentityModel
whereas the namespace for the what I have through nuget is Microsoft.IdentityModel
. Could this be causing the trouble?
A few specs:
Standard MVC 4 Project
Using Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll
v3.5.0.0
System.identitymodel.xxx is the .Net 4.5 version if WIF where everything is merged into the core framework.
Microsoft.identitymodel.xxx is the .net 4 version that is installed separately.
