I am using Windows Identity Foundation Framework 3.5. I have installed this on my dev box and I have everything working. My problem is the production server.
Is there a way to NOT install the framework on the production server and still have the MVC application work? Right now I am receiving the error:
Type is not resolved for member Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal,Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
.
This is expected, since the framework is not there and obviously the simple answer is to install the framework, but this is out of my control.
Things I have tried, add the references Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll
, Microsoft.IdentityModel.WindowsTokenService.dll
, Microsoft.IdentityModel.resources.dll
, and Microsoft.IdentityModel.WIndowsTokenService.resources.dll
directly to the project and set them to copy to the output directory. This does not work.
Any suggestions?
