Kentor.AuthServices is an open source service provider for .NET that is designed to be as simple as possible to use in ASP.NET applications.

There are three nuget packages available

Kentor.AuthServices core library and an Http Module for web forms applications.
Kentor.AuthServices.Mvc MVC controller for simple setup for MVC applications.
Kentor.AuthServices.Owin Owin middleware for modern MVC applications and integration with ASP.NET Identity.

Disclaimer: I'm the author of Kentor.AuthServices, but as it's free, I make no money from people using it.

With ASP.NET, you would normally use WIF but WIF doesn't support the SAML protocol.

Two ways of doing this.

Use ADFS as a bridge so:

App. --> WIF --> ADFS --> SAML --> IDP

Use a .NET 3rd party stack in your app.
