Last Saturday I delivered a session on “Claims for developers” at the 3rd Belgian SharePoint Saturday edition, focusing on Claims Based Authentication. It was great to see that there was a lot of interest in this topic, since it’s something that allows you to do some very cool things.
It was a really fun event and I am really proud to have been part of it! Kudos to the BIWUG people for doing all the hard work organizing this.

I promised to share my slides and the code I demoed, so here it is.

Code
Here’s the code package with the following:
SPSBE2013.ClaimsForDevs.zip
- Role Claims Provider – copies incoming “role” claims that aren’t mapped (augmentation), resolves a list of known claims (received from a web request) to the Entity Picker
- FBA Login Page – additional functionality such as Reset Password (with Captcha)
- Windows Login Page – when configuring dual auth on a Zone, use this page to force users to Windows Authentication
- SAML Login Page – custom redirection to the STS so we can use a generic realm for our STS registration in SharePoint
- SAML Logged In Page – Debug overview of claims for current user, can be used for updating SPUser
- STS – Security Token Service with username/password, Facebook and Twitter login. Normalizes the user and provides custom claims. Contains custom redirection logic for SharePoint (generic realm)
- SampleApp – Sample application configured for authentication delegation to the STS. Displays all claims in the token.
I can’t share the code for the Profile Manager (DB UI) due to copyright.
The package also contains some basic deployment steps.
Disclaimer: all code can be freely used and modified as desired, but I don’t take any responsability for bad things that might occur should you do so
