I am trying to implement requirements based web SSO using WIF and AD FS 2.0 right now. Right now I have an existing ASP.Net application that delegates authentication to the AD FS 2.0 server and trusted security brands. This is working fine.
However, the organization has an existing JA-SIG Authentication Service Server (CAS) that supports SAML 2. I would like to replace AD FS 2.0 with the existing CAS.
In my understanding, WIF uses WS-Federation, which looks like a container around a SAML token. Can I use the simple SAML 2 protocol and its bindings (redirection or POST)? If this is not possible (as I believe), a second alternative would be to use a federation identifier and AD FS 2.0 federation with CAS. Is it possible? There is little information on the Internet about this.
Thank: -)
