The T:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.WindowsClaimsPrincipal class extends the T:System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal to carry T:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.Claim information in addition to the identity information draw from Windows security tokens.
Namespace: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel (in microsoft.identitymodel.dll)

Usage

Visual Basic
Dim instance As WindowsClaimsPrincipal

Visual Basic
<SerializableAttribute> _
Public Class WindowsClaimsPrincipal

[SerializableAttribute] 
public class WindowsClaimsPrincipal : WindowsPrincipal, IClaimsPrincipal, IPrincipal, IDisposable
C++
[SerializableAttribute] 
public ref class WindowsClaimsPrincipal : public WindowsPrincipal, IClaimsPrincipal, IPrincipal, IDisposable
J#
/** @attribute SerializableAttribute() */ 
public class WindowsClaimsPrincipal extends WindowsPrincipal implements IClaimsPrincipal, IPrincipal, 
		IDisposable
JScript
SerializableAttribute 
public class WindowsClaimsPrincipal extends WindowsPrincipal implements IClaimsPrincipal, IPrincipal, 
		IDisposable

Remarks

In the claims model multiple users or claims-based identities can be party to a single action. This class extends the T:System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal class to enable a Windows execution context to carry multiple claims-based identities (T:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.WindowsClaimsIdentity). T:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.WindowsClaimsPrincipal exposes a collection of identities, each of which implements IClaimsIdentity. In a common case, there will be a single issuer and a single token and the identities collection will only have one element. However, it’s possible in advanced scenarios for a relying party to ask (via policy) for more than one security token, potentially from different issuers.
