From "Zermatt" to the "Geneva Framework"

I have already mentioned that Zermatt has been renamed as the "Geneva Framework", which makes total sense.

At PDC Microsoft have released a new download for the "Geneva Framework", which I have downloaded today to check some of my code against;

While not at all an extensive list, here are the changes I had to do to my code to get it to work with the updated framework -

On the STS:

• The SecureTokenService class, which is the base class for any STS implementation has moved to the main Microsoft.IdentityModel namespace (it formerly existed under it's own namespace - Microsoft.IdentityModel.Service)
• The GetScope method of the SecureTokenService is now marked as abstract and so has to be implemented (I believe it previously was not abstract so a base implementation could have been used, either directly or indirectly through an overriding method;
• ClaimsPrincipal no longer has a 'Current' property, you can get the claims principal from an IClaimsPrincipal instance using the CreateFromPrincipal method or from an IIdentity instance using the CreateFromIdentity method.
• GetOutputSubjects renamed to GetOutputClaimsIdentity, the order of the parameters has changed a bit (but otherwise remained the same) and the return value is now IClaimsIdentity and not ClaimsIdentityCollection (which, again, makes perfect sense)
• In the STS service configurationI have changed the bindings from wsHttpBinding to ws2007HttpBinding and the STS contract from IWSTrustFeb2005SyncContract to IWSTrust13SyncContract.

On the RP:

• ExtensibleServiceCredentials, which is used to configure the RP's host to use the Geneva Framework is now called FederatedServiceCredentials
• To get the list of Claims in the RP you no longer use something like "(IClaimsIdentity)ClaimsPrincipal.Current.Identity;" but instead check the CurrentPrincipal of the current thread - "IClaimsIdentity identity = Thread.CurrentPrincipal as IClaimsIdentity;"
