This blog post explains how to access Identity Server 2.0 Security Token Service [STS] programmatically.
First you need to configure the Identity Server STS to issue security tokens.
Login as admin/admin to the management console and access 'Security Token Service'.
There you need to enter the relying parties you trust - in other words, which relying parties who will accept security tokens from the Identity Server.
You need to upload the public certificate of the trusted relying party - against it's end point.
When issuing tokens - it'll be encrypted from the public key of the trusted relying party.
So - even the client who obtains the token to send to the RP - has no visibility to the included token.
Now - let's apply security to the STS - here we provide UsernameToken based security - that means, to obtain a token from the STS, the client should have a valid user account with the Identity Server.
Click on the 'Apply Security Policy' link to configure security and go through the wizard.
That's it and that's all we need to configure Identity Server STS to issue security tokens.
Let's focus on the client code.
