The Lost WIF Documentation

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

If you've used Windows Identity Foundation at all, you'll find that the documentation on it is lacking. There are a ton of entry-level "getting started" articles combined with even more "high-level theory" articles out there, but really not much in the way of concrete information.

This is the Lost Windows Identity Foundation Documentation.

It's great from a reference and from a how-to standpoint, including plenty of diagrams and code snippets that help to explain how different scenarios work and how those scenarios specifically apply to WIF.

I was working on a custom passive STS using WIF and found it nearly impossible to do without this book. Once I had it, there was more in it than I was even hoping for - explanations of how to handle sliding token expiration, for example, which is pretty much nowhere to be found out on the web.

It's also been really handy in helping to explain complex federation issues to my team, who are not nearly as neck-deep in this stuff as I am. After we got the first copy of this, we actually ended up getting a second because it's so useful and people sort of "hog it" and forget to return it to the library.

The only thing that's missing in my opinion is how to work with WIF in an ASP.NET MVC environment. WIF was written primarily with web forms in mind, so all of the code samples and scenarios described in this book revolve around web forms. It's sort of an unmentioned "exercise for the reader" to get things working with MVC. That's more a fault with WIF than the book, though, hence I am not docking a star for missing it.

If you use WIF, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this book.

Great book for .NET developers needing single sign-on

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

Vittorio produced a great book. I have a difficult time with his Microsoft presentations due to the accent but he really knows his stuff. It explains in detail how to perform S.S.O. for the following scenarios:

1. Browser clients (WS-Federation)
2. WCF clients (WS-Trust)

The only think lacking in this book is demonstrating W.I.F. interop with Java clients. This would have been helpful.

Another excellent source for W.I.F. education is Dominick Baier (Microsoft MVP with focus on security). He has a great blog with lots good W.I.F. tutorials.

Long on Talk, Short on Code

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

If you're looking for a semi-exhaustive explanation of plumbing and details, this might be the book for you. Maybe.

I was looking for some code samples and reasonable quick-start type guides to at least get a proof of concept up and running, but there is no sort of cohesion to the book that makes it possible. The first part labors on about federated identity and fundamentals, which is fine to an extent. However, it just keeps going on with theory... again, which is fine if you want to sit and read a book to learn about federated security.

A preferred approach, and the one followed by most good technical books, is to start with a basic example and explain the theory behind it in small chunks.

I was surprised by how frustrating this book is based on the other reviews, so maybe I'm missing something everyone else is getting. But, if you're looking for a reasonable quick start to WIF with meat to back up the code, this probably isn't a good fit for you.

Didn't meet my expectations

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I prefer to study a new technology in "inside-out" way. As an experienced developer I want to look "under the hood", to see how technology works internally. While the book provides a lot of insider info not just about WIF itself but also about rationale behind its creation it does it in very incoherent way.

The book starts very well. First 2 chapters provides a good introduction into both WIF and the principles of claims based identity. Author describes why claim base identity is important and what kind of problems it tries to solve. I especially liked the comparison between evolution of computer drivers and identity solutions. The problem is that the book didn't keep the pace it set.

Next 4 chapters explain WIF usage in 3 different technologies ASP.NET, WCF and Azure. All chapters contain some theory with very short snippets of actual code. Useful theory is scattered to these 4 chapters without some general coherency. The book doesn't have some governing idea where each chapter should start, how much theory it should explain and in which order it should do. In the end of day I had to go back and forward, to re-read what I had already read to remind the details. Another problem is the lack of source code. Even though the book is marked as a WIF book, there is very little of WIF code. WIF classes are not presented in systematic way, just (like theory) scattered here and there. The last thing to mention is sample code. There isn't. Just a reference to official WIF samples.

While all these issues, Programming WIF is still useful. Author is undoubtedly an expert to WIF. With better organization and more systematic approach to WIF itself this could have been a great book. But on 240 pages it's simply not possible. The book should have been at least 2 times bigger than it actually is.

The last remark. WIF has changed several times (now it's an integral part of .NET framework) but while configuration has changed significantly (which made me a lot of headaches), WIF classes are very similar to those ones presented in the book. So with little effort you can easily find their counterparts to .NET 4.5..

Ein gutes Buch, leider nichts mehr für die heutige Zeit

Reviewed in Germany on December 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ich habe mir das Buch gekauft, um einen groben Überblick über die WIF zu bekommen. Diesen Zweck hat es gut erfüllt. Die vorgestellten Techniken und Beispiele sind, wie zu erwarten war, nicht mehr auf dem aktuellen Stand. Durch den Fortschritt von VS kann man die beschriebenen Tools und Codebeispiele so gut wie nicht mehr nutzen. Zum Zeitpunkt seines erscheinens aber ein tolles Buch. 4-Sterne weil es genau das ist was ich erwartet habe.

Secure token services an federated authentication is what Microsoft Identity foundation is all about. This book teaches you how to either build one for yourself an how to use one. The recommended reference.
