ReceiveAuthnRequestByHTTPRedirect and certificate key

SAML for ASP.NET
1

I am using IdentityProvider.ReceiveAuthnRequestByHTTPRedirect(HttpRequest, out XmlElement, out string RelayState, out bool Signed, System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricKeyAlgorithm key) to receive a HTTPRedirect request on the IdP side. The request is not signed.

What can/should I use for the System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricKeyAlgorithm key parameter?

If you pass in null as the key parameter any included signature won’t be verified.
If there isn’t a signature then passing in null is the best option.

Sorry, I believe I had tried that and should have mentioned it. Passing null as the last parameter doesn't compile with the error that no function signature expects those parameters.

Tried it again and null works. Weird, I thought I had tried it already. Thank you so much for your help!
