I am developing test application for displaying claims of authenticated identity in MVC-ASP.net (Visual studio 2013) I have given authentication from active directory in following way.

1.Add new mvc project in solution . 2.click on Change authentication. 3.select organization account 4.select on premises. 5.given federation url 6.App Id url

After running the application i am getting following error.

WIF10201: No valid key mapping found for securityToken: 'System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SecurityToken' and issuer: 'http://websso.avanade.com/adfs/services/trust'

This error is coming only for this federation for other federation i am able to see claims.

After searching on internet i am thinking that it is certificate(thumbprint) issue. But I am not clear with solutions.

Can anybody explain me why this error throwing and solution for the same.

Thanks in Advance !!!

There could be 2 causes for this error.

  1. Missing thumbprint in web.config: Get the actual thumbprint from ADFS and put in web.config under the thumbprint tag

  2. Mismatch in port number between the site and ADFS configuration: Update ADFS configuration with the url containing the correct port number

The second solution fixed it for me...
