GetAssertion Method

Gets the assertion.

Syntax

int GetAssertion();

Remarks

This method communicates with LocalSTS as to obtain an assertion.

When AuthMode is set to 0 (camSharePointOnline) or 1 (camDynamicsCRM) the class will automatically populate various properties to known values to reduce the number of required settings. Typically only the following properties are required:

• User
• Password
• ApplicationURN

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

• User
• Password
• ApplicationURN
• LocalSTS

If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in SignerCert to verify the signature. If SignerCert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

• AssertionId
• AssertionIssueInstant
• AssertionIssuer
• AssertionNotBefore
• AssertionNotOnOrAfter
• AssertionSubject
• AssertionVersion
• AssertionXML
• Claim* properties

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
