Answer 1

Have a Look at http://identityserver.codeplex.com.

I have an Azure version, so could get some inspiration from there.

Hi Dominick,

On http://identityserver.codeplex.com/releases there are four different zip files to be download. i have downloaded two of them (azure edition and source). but i didnt find sample, i need, inside it.

somewhere i read that Azure allows us to add few types of project as web role.

Isn't it allow to add WCF Security Token Service as web role ?

Thanks

Answer 5

IIRC the WCF STS template create a "web site" - you can only add "web applications" to web roles. You need to convert that manually.

Hi Dominick,

I have one query "Custom STS project needs to be added as Hosted Service or configured in ACS  as identity provider ?"

Note : Custom STS is validating username/pwd against sql database.

Please guide me.
