GetSecurityToken Method

Gets the security token.

Syntax

claimsauth.getSecurityToken([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method communicates with FederationSTS and LocalSTS as applicable to obtain a security token. The SecurityTokenXML property will be populated with the retrieved token.

• User

• ApplicationURN

When AuthMode is set to 2 (camADFS) or 3 (camCustom) the following properties are required:
