Answer 1

Wiring up as in += ?

This does not work - you need to add an event handler in global.asax with the ModuleName_EventName convention.

Answer 2

Yes  I am doing exactly that

            FederatedAuthentication.WSFederationAuthenticationModule.SecurityTokenValidated += new EventHandler<SecurityTokenValidatedEventArgs>(WSFederationAuthenticationModule_SecurityTokenValidated);

Thanks
