Difference between OpenAM AND ADFS

I want to know the difference between OpenAM AND ADFS. Could the application tested with openAM will also successfully work with ADFS. I need to know this to put this as I do not have access to ADFS, and I can install opensource OpenAM and simualte SSO flows with it. Or should I test my code against ADFS directly. I could decide on this If I know differences in both.

In terms of how they handle the federation protocols e.g. WS-Fed and SAML, there is no difference. They both respond to protocol commands. They are both STS.

As to compatibility for applications, it depends on how they are written. ADFS applications would typically use something like WIF which is a .NET C# library, not appropriate for Java.

Also they have different functionality is terms of "add-ons".

Neither ADFS or OpenAM is "free" AFAIK.

Have a look at IdentityServer3 which is open-source.
