StarterSTS Documentation

Profile configuration (profile.config)

This is a standard ASP.NET profile configuration section. All profile properties of the corresponding user get turned into claims when requesting a token from StarterSTS.

You can either manually edit this file, or use the IIS7 manager to create and modify the properties.

The corresponding configuration file looks like this:

<profile automaticSaveEnabled="false"
         defaultProvider="Profile">
  <providers>
    <add name="Profile"
         connectionStringName="ProviderDB"
         applicationName="/"
         type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
  </providers>

 
  <!-- properties that should get turned into claims go here -->
  <properties>
    <add allowAnonymous="false"
         defaultValue=""
         name="WebPage"
         readOnly="false"
         serializeAs="String"
         type="System.String" />
    <add allowAnonymous="false"
         defaultValue=""
         name="TwitterName"
         readOnly="false"
         serializeAs="String"
         type="System.String" />
  </properties>
</profile>

Some remarks

• All property names get prefixed by the claimsBaseUri configuration value in starterSTS.config.
• Properties where readOnly is set to true cannot be changed by the user. They must be set directly in the data store.
