How to validate ADFS SAML token

Question

I am currently generating SAML tokens from ADFS like this:

 WSTrustChannelFactory factory = null;
        try
        {
            // use a UserName Trust Bindi         


        

Answer 1

It's much simpler! For web sites you use WIF (assuming you are using .NET) and then you federate the app with ADFS. (There's a wizard included in the WIF SDK). Everything is taken care of. Parsing, validation, etc. is done by the framework. Your app would deal with users in the regular way: this.User.Name , this.User.IsInRole("admin"), etc.

The scenario is documented here.
