Handle FederationConfigurationCreated event of FederatedAuthentication class, e.g. in Application_Start of Global.asax:

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FederatedAuthentication.FederationConfigurationCreated += FCC;
}

private void FCC(object sender, FederationConfigurationCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    e.FederationConfiguration.WsFederationConfiguration.PassiveRedirectEnabled = true;
    e.FederationConfiguration.WsFederationConfiguration.Issuer = "https://mynamespace.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/wsfederation";
    e.FederationConfiguration.WsFederationConfiguration.Realm = "http://localhost:81/";
    e.FederationConfiguration.WsFederationConfiguration.RequireHttps = false;
}
