Why does Saml2AuthenticationModule not work in azure compute emulator?

Question

Using the WIF Extension for the SAML 2.0 Protocol's Saml2AuthenticationModule. Works great in IIS Express. However testing it in the compute emulator results in a 404 at the URL https://127.0.0.1:444/ServiceProvider/saml/post/ac. It looks like the module is not intercepting this HTTP POST.

Why?

Answer 1

Can you confirm the module is added to system.webServer/modules and not system.web/httpModules?

Copied and pasted directly from web.config under test, no edits:

...

 

    <system.webServer>

        <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />

        <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

            <!--<add name="ElmahErrorMail" type="Elmah.ErrorMailModule, Elmah" />-->

            <!--<add name="ElmahErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />-->

            <!--<add name="ElmahErrorFilter" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterModule, Elmah" preCondition="managedHandler" />-->

            <add name="ElmahErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah" />

            <add name="Saml2AuthenticationModule" type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.Saml2AuthenticationModule"/>

            <add name="SessionAuthenticationModule" type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.SessionAuthenticationModule"/>

        </modules>

        <handlers>

            <add name="Elmah" path="elmah.axd" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" preCondition="integratedMode" />

        </handlers>

        <httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL">

            <remove statusCode="400" subStatusCode="-1" />

...

 

Update

I originally had it in both. I just tried commenting it out of system.web/httpModules, and the same problem occurs. It was my impression that only cassini used httpModules.

Were you able to get this resolve. I am experiencing the same problem.
