Have ADFS authenticate against ASP.NET Membership database

Is it possible 开发者_如何学Pythonto make make ADFS to authenticate a user against an ASP.NET Membership database in SQL Server? Alternatively can a .NET C# plug-in be created and installed in ADFS which could provide this "service" to ADFS?

As far as I know this is not possible. ADFS (v1 and v2) ONLY supports an AD Domain Controller as the Authentication source of users. Other flavors of AD do not work (ADAM/AD LDS).

There are other options that are easier to deploy and give you IP-STS (aka IDP) functionality. For example, our PingFederate product can leverage your SQL Server pretty easily if you are interested.

No, this is not possible. See this answer of mine for the official documentation at this point, and for an alternative solution involving a custom STS.

A lot of issues with ADFS can be worked around by federating ADFS with another STS and adding the required functionality to the STS.

StarterSTS is a good example of an STS that authenticates against an instance of a SQL Server aspnetdb database.
