SAML token from an external STS causes error

Folks,

I'm trying to figure out what's going on in our ASP.NET 2.0 app here.
We're using .NET 3.0 WCF to communicate with tons of external web
services.

So far, we've been using Forms Authentication against our custom store
to authenticate users, and when they are authenticated, we issued a
SAML token for calling a plethora of webservices later on. Works like
a charm.

Now, we're about to switch to using an external STS (Security Token
Server) to get our SAML tokens from - the users get authenticated
against an Active Directory store, we get a SAML token for the user
principal, and then off we should go.

Should - because on the call to "RedirectFromLo ginPage" in the Forms
auth mechanism, we now suddenly get an error:

"Unable to encrypt the authentication ticket. Try changing the
decryption key configured for this application."

Any ideas what the heck that is, where it comes from, and how to deal
with it??

Any hints and pointers would be most welcome !

Thanks
Marc

I inherited an existing application that needs some serious enhancement, though I am not fluent in the language it was developed in (PERL). I was hoping to migrate everything over to PHP, since I know it a lot better and the app isn't too large. The only "unknown" that is holding me back from jumping into a transition to PHP is that SAML authentication is being used. I have been looking around online for a few days now trying to find...

I am building a mixed-mode DLL with VS.NET 2003 and have run across some link errors. (I have looked at the MS Help articles about LNK2020 errors with mixed-mode C++ and that has not helped) Typically, it is relatively easy to understand why the token is unresolved. Unfortunately, this one means nothing to me. I'm actually getting 6 similar unresolved tokens: LINK : error LNK2020: unresolved token (0A00083B) ??_9@$$F$BMI@AE LINK : error...

I'm doing a scoping study for a Single-Sign-On integration project with a client. The client's SSO interface is built on SAML 1.1 specification using Verisign TSIK, and needless to say, they have a java environment. We are 100% .NET. I was surprised that I couldn't find any resources on implementing SAML in .NET, given that SAML uses pretty much the same technology as Microsoft does in its WSE. Has anyone done this? Any help or...

Are there any open source SAML tool kits for .NET 1.1? I found SourceID's kit, but they seemed to have moved it to .NET 2.0 beta. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of VS.NET 2005 and I can't run beta software in a production environment. I also found ComponentSource's SAML tool kit which is not too expensive, but of course free would be better. Any suggestions?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
