ADFS 3.0 works with WS-Federation but fails with SAML

We use ADFS 3.0 (Windows 2012 R2) server to access an ASP.NET browser (.NET 4.5) application, which uses ClaimsPrincipal class (part of the Windows Identity Foundation library). The ADFS servers authenticates to our Active Directory. The ASP.NET application runs properly if we use WS-Federation sign-in protocol but fails if we use SAML sign-in protocol. The error message is not helpful "An error occurred"

The ASP.NET is a web form application, developed using VB.NET

My questions: 1) Does ADFS 3.0 with SAML sign in protocol work with ASP.NET web form application which uses ClaimsPrincipal class, which is part of the Windows Identity Foundation libraries? 2) What are the changes (as compared to WS-Federation) we must make to web config in the ASP.NET application, to us SAML sign in protocol?

Thank you. Chong Chin
