Remarks

ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry maintains a dictionary of trusted issuers that maps each trust issuer certificate thumbprint to an issuer name. The class can only resolve X.509Certificates. The map can be configured in the App.config or Web.config file by using the following configuration settings.

<microsoft.identityModel>
   <issuerNameRegistry type='ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry'>
      <trustedIssuers> 
         <!-- To add a map entry to configured trusted issuers -->
         <add thumbprint='ASN.1EncodedFormOfTheThumbprint' name='MappedName' />
         <!-- To remove a map entry from configured trusted issuers -->
         <remove thumbprint='ASN.1EncodedFormOfTheThumbprint' /> 
         <!-- To clear configured trusted issuers -->
         <clear/> 
      <trustedIssuers/> 
   </issuerNameRegistry> 
</microsoft.identityModel>
