Where is the Microsoft.IdentityModel dll

Question

I have installed the Windows Identity Foundation but can\'t find the Microsoft.IdentityModel dll. According to the Azure Hands-on-Labs it should just be in Add Reference in

Answer 1

In Windows 8 and up there's a way to enable the feature from the command line without having to download/install anything explicitly by running the following:

dism /online /Enable-Feature:Windows-Identity-Foundation

And then find the file by running the following at the root of your Windows disk:

dir /s /b Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll

Answer 4

How about a NuGet Windows Identity Foundation. Just add it you you project and away you go! Its one of the MS owned NuGets so should be maintained accordingly.

EDIT: In Windows 8 Windows Identity Foundation is installed (enabled) by turning a windows feature on in Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features > Turn Windows feature on or off the feature is Windows Identity Foundation 3.5. Installers linked in the answer above will not work on Windows 8
