Building the C# SSO DLL
for the Web Services SDK
In the vSphere Web Services SDK, VMware
supplies several sample Single Sign-On (SSO) clients for Visual Studio. The SDK
includes a project (
.csproj
) file
for each sample, and a solution (.sln
) file for the whole set of samples. The
project files reference the DLL through which a client communicates with the
SSO service.
The samples demonstrate how to authenticate with
the SSO service, using the methods available to vSphere clients. The methods
include the use of user credentials to authenticate and retrieve bearer and
Holder-of-Key (HoK) tokens. You can use these methods to authenticate when
running vSphere samples or other clients, such as the
SimpleClient
sample described in
Running the Microsoft .NET C# Version of SimpleClient in the Web Services SDK.
