Windows Identity Foundation and Visual Studio 2010

Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) was released few month ago. The companion SDK was released for VS 2008. Unfortunately there are numerous issues when trying to use it with VS 2010. There was a promise in the WIF blog that a new version will be released in the RTM timeframe but unfortunately it was not fulfilled yet.

"Add STS reference" just does not work. WIF does not recognize WCF services on the cloud and the list goes on…

There are work around for every scenario but it just looks bad.

I am waiting…
