Hi.
I implemented a custom claims provider in Sharepoint 2010.
My current issue is that when I leave the sharepoint application open for around 40 minutes (so the session ends), once I refresh the page it gives me this error:


Server Error in '/IWeb.STS' Application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSFederation.SignInRequestMessage' to type 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSFederation.SignOutRequestMessage'.

I'm researching about it but can't find any solution.

This is the code that handles this:

 private void SingOutProcess()
        {
            this.logger.Debug("Processing SignOut action");

            // Process signout request.
            SignOutRequestMessage requestMessage = (SignOutRequestMessage)WSFederationMessage.CreateFromUri(Request.Url);
            FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations.ProcessSignOutRequest(requestMessage, User, requestMessage.Reply, Response);
        }

        private void SignInProcess()
        {
            // Process signin request.
            SignInRequestMessage requestMessage = (SignInRequestMessage)WSFederationMessage.CreateFromUri(Request.Url);

            this.logger.Debug("Request.Url ->" + Request.Url);

            if (User != null && User.Identity != null && User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                this.logger.Debug("Processing SignIn action");

                SecurityTokenService sts = new CustomSecurityTokenService(CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration.Current);
                SignInResponseMessage responseMessage = FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations.ProcessSignInRequest(requestMessage, User, sts);

                this.logger.Debug("ProcessSignInResponse");

                FederatedPassiveSecurityTokenServiceOperations.ProcessSignInResponse(responseMessage, Response);

                this.logger.Debug("Finish SignInProcess");
            }
            else
            {
                string messageError = "User unauthorized to Access";
                UnauthorizedAccessException ex = new UnauthorizedAccessException(messageError);

                this.logger.ErrorException(messageError, ex);

                throw ex;
            }
        }

Thanks!
