How should I implement SAMLP 2.0 in an ASP.NET MVC 4 service provider?

Question

I\'m developing an MVC 4 web application in C# and want to handle login using an existing SAML 2.0 identity provider. I am using HTTP POST binding with SimpleSAMLphp.

You're right in that WIF (now moved into core .NET under System.IdentityModel) only supports the SAML2 tokens and not the SAML2 protocols required to implement a service provider.

Kentor.AuthServices is an open source SP implementation for ASP.NET MVC built on top of .NET 4.5. Install the package and add some settings in web.config - no coding required.
