Claims used to have the following properties in .Net 4.5:

  • ClaimType: Gets the claim type of the claim.
  • Issuer: Gets the issuer of the claim.
  • OriginalIssuer: Gets the original issuer of the claim.
  • Properties: Gets the properties that are name-value pairs.
  • Subject: Gets the subject of the claim.
  • Value: Gets the value of the claim.
  • ValueType: Gets the value type of the claim.

It seems that there are new Claims now in .Net 4.6 with the following properties:

  • ClaimType: Gets the type of the claim.
  • DefaultComparer: Gets an object that can compare two Claim objects for equality.
  • Resource: Gets the resource with which this Claim object is associated.
  • Right: A string representation of a uniform resource identifier (URI) that specifies the right associated with this Claim object.
  • System: A pre-defined claim that represents the system entity.

Are they both just different representations of the same concept of claim in the concept of claims-based-identity?

Or the whole concept has changed?

To be more exact, I would like to consider the following authoriZation data:

  • UserData: UserId = "5";
  • ResourceData: ResourceName = "Book";
  • ActionData: ActionName = "ViewContents";
  • EnvironmentData: SystemLanguage = "English".

As far as I understand, this data can be represented by 4 different old-style claims. And this is clear for me how it's possible to create them.

How should this data be correctly represented by the new claims?

Thanks!

I'm sorry for misleading question.

The first claim from the question (with 7 properties) is the new one. It exists since .Net 4.5. It is from System.Security.Claims namespace.

The second claim from the question (with 5 properties) is another claim, which exists since .Net 3.0. It is from System.IdentityModel.Claims namespace.

I think that what is needed for the situation in the question is the claim with 7 properties, the first one from System.Security.Claims.

EDIT: This answer is a good justification.
