Error when using the Live Labs STS

Error when using the Live Labs STS

• naylouvar

  Hello:
  
  Thanks for the reply. However I'm still having problems.
  
  1) I've requested new cards fom the sts.labs.live and I'm still getting the same error. I'm sure the password is correct. I'm also using a card associated with a personal card (no password necessary) and I also get the same error.
  
  2) I've checked the version numbers of infocard.exe and of the WCF assemblies and they are correct. I've beed using WCF for a while, namely in federation scenarios with my own STS, and I don't have any problems.
  
  3) I've managed to sucessfully use CardSpace to log in at http://www.identityblog.com/
  
  4) Sometimes, the CardSpace hangs when opened explicitly. However this is not deterministic. The following two events are logged when this happens:
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  An error occurred when communicating with the Windows CardSpace service. Error obtaining client Process info.

  To check the version, look at the file properties of C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\infocard.exe (right click file -> properties)
  
  Under the Version tab, you should see: 3.0.4506.30
  
  However, I just tried your scenario and I'm also getting the 2 errors in my Event Viewer:
  

  • A token could not be created. Identity provider requested for an unsupported authentication type.
  • There was a failure making a WS-Trust exchange with an external application. Could not retrieve token from identity provider.

  I'll inform the owner of this site and ask if they can take a look at this.

  Hello:
  
  I've just remove my Live STS cards and installed a new one (15:51 GMT), based on a personal identifier card. However, the same problems occurs when I try to signin in relay.labs.live.com.

  Hi Pedro,

  I just retried the scenario and it actually appears to be working. It appears the event logs you are getting are actually generated when you provided an incorrect username/password. Can you try generating a new managed card again and entering your password carefully and retry this scenario.

  The event log messages are definitely not user friendly and we're investigating why these messages are being generated.

  I was wondering if there's anything special about your configuration (i.e. are you connected online via a proxy )

  Hello:
  
  Thanks for your reply.
  I've tried it in three diferent network scenarios: at two university campus networks and at home, connected by a standard ISP.
  All the scenarios use transparent proxies (I presume!)
  
  Is there any log that I can use to see the exchanged WS-Trust messages
  
  Thanks for your help.

  Can you try deleting your existing managed cards from Live STS and then generate new cards and install them
