Using the Simple STS - Managed Card

I’m following the sample/document ‘Using the Simple STS’ and running into an issue. It’s probably something very basic that I have missed but I don’t seem to be able to figure it out.

In a summary when I try to run the managed card scenario, I get the error ‘Identity provider end point was not found’ in the event log.

This is what I have done.

1. Upgraded the machine to have IE7, Cardspace etc.

2. Downloaded and unzipped the latest ‘Simple STS example’ (with the 2 errata fixed).

3. Made the change to handle the errata mentioned by SoftwareMaker (commenting out extra claims).

4. Ran the install script to set up websites, certs etc.

5. Compiled the SecurityTokenServer.csproj to get the SecurityTokenServer.exe.

6. Access the url :https://www.fabrikam.com/CardSpace/Sample.htm.

7. Pressed ‘Click here to get the token’, selected a self-issued infocard and pressed ‘Click here to send the card to the server’.

8. I get directed to the urlhttps://www.fabrikam.com/CardSpace/login.aspx and it displays the PPID.

9. I edited the FabrikamSelfIssued.ini with the PPID from the previous step, created a .crd using CardWriter and installed it.

10. Started the SecurityTokenServer.exe (get the exact console output as mentioned in the document….listening on 7000 and 7001).

11. Access the url :https://www.fabrikam.com/CardSpace/Sample.htm again and this time selected the new Managed Card.

However I get the error that the ‘Data could not be retrieved from the Managed Card Provider’. In the event log, I see the message “There was a failure making a WS-Trust exchange with an external application.The Identity provider end point was not found.”.

I can access the url :http://www.fabrikam.com:7000/sample/trust/selfissuedsaml which makes me thing that the service is running.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
