Creating Provider Configurations

About Provider Configurations

When using either an Application Lifecycle Provider or a Rekeyable Object Provider, an Administrator can configure the Provider using a class containing the various options available to the Provider and descriptions as to their purposes.

The Provider Configuration is a powerful way to present configuration options to a user in a consistent user interface without the developer of the Provider having to ever touch a UI component.

Example Class

public class MyProviderConfiguration : AuthJanitorProviderConfiguration
{
    public enum SampleEnum
    {
        [Description("Red")]    RedColor,
        [Description("Green")]  GreenColor,
        [Description("Blue")]   BlueColor
    }

    [DisplayName("String Array")]
    [Description("Example Comma-Delimited List")]
    public string[] StringArray { get; set; }

    [DisplayName("Example Integer")]
    [Description("This renders in a numeric HTML control!")]
    public int Integer { get; set; }

    [DisplayName("Example Enumeration")]
    [Description("This describes some colors.")]
    public SampleEnum Enumeration { get; set; }
}
